Backerkit has completely changed the way I fulfill Kickstarter rewards. That alone is worth an endorsement.
It costs 2% of the money you generated through your successful Kickstarter campaign (before Kickstarter’s cut). And then it takes 5% of each extra sale Backerkit generates.
For my most recent Kickstarter, that came to about $560.
I made that money back in the first 12 hours after launching Backerkit.
As of now, less than 24 hours later, that number has nearly doubled — about $970.
How did they do that? Glad you asked…

In response to my recent show on comic conventions, a Webcomics.com member wrote to ask about the intangibles involved with exhibiting — stuff like exposure and promotion and improving one’s sales skills. Weren’t they reason enough to continue to exhibit at comic conventions? My response is Episode 7 of Webcomics Confidential.

What if I offered a small promo box that participants could add to their comic sidebars. The box would randomly generate a small banner and link to comics from other participants. Are you in or out?
I think the answer should be out.

It’s time for Webcomics Confidential Episode 6! I take on a couple pf good questions. First — Are smaller comic conventions really better for webcartoonists? And then — Patreon backers who come and go… are they a problem? I’ll answer both of those questions and manage to insult vegans all at the same time.
Please keep sending in your questions and comments! They’re tremendous — and a great source of ideas for upcoming episodes.
