Plan for National Comic Book Day

[ysabetwordsmith]

September 25 is National Comic Book Day. Start planning your crowdfunded or other activities in support of webcomics and comics in general. Here are some things you might do ...

* Make your webcomic public for the day, if it's usually reserved for subscribers.
* Post extra content to your webcomic or comic-themed story.
* Post a short funny to your blog.
* Give away a free hardcopy or ebook comic.
* Recommend your favorite online or hardcopy comics to other folks.
* Make a list of your favorite crowdfunded webcomics to use when nominations open for the Rose & Bay Awards.

Ooh. I'm working on a webcomic with a friend. She's doing the art and the website, so it'll be all up to her, but I wonder if we can get it launched that day... Thanks for the information!

Yay!

That sounds cool. Even if you can't get it launched that day, maybe you could do something for advance promotion, like a description and a piece of concept art.

That's a good idea. We do have a website up already, actually, with a cover page (for the prologue), but I've been holding off on telling people about it until we have a launch date.

Consider building your audience in advance of the launch, so that when you start, you'll get audience activity faster. If the website has reasonably complete, legible sections (things like character bios or model sheets) then it's probably usable for advance promotion.

Yeah, we don't have those yet. When the website looks more complete, I'm sure I'll be telling people about it (at least my Chatoyant College readers).

That works, then. Good luck with your project!
