Advice on Starting a Webcomic
somethingkumandkum asked: Do you have any advice for someone wanting to start a webcomic?
uh-oh you guys somebody made the mistake of asking me about comics, prepare for a gigantic essay… Please don’t feel pressured to read this whole thing, I totally lose my head when it comes to talking about making comics!
TL;DR:
- You won’t get rich, you can’t please everybody, so it had better be a labor of love.
- Set an update schedule and stick to it. Finish a good chunk of pages before going public, so new visitors to the comic’s “grand opening” can get hooked.
- Publishing a webcomic is like performing live; you can’t let “stage fright” stop you. Stop “planning” and start publishing!
- Lots of links to the software that makes BFF work on the technical side at the end. And books I’d recommend reading!
