As part of the Kickstarter campaign for The Webcomics Handbook, my backers supported the launch of a new podcast series in which I will interview movers and shakers in Webcomics and drill down deep on topics and information that affect us all.
There’s no better off-the-bat topic for this podcast than Kickstarter itself, and no better man to talk about its intricacies. Breadpig.com‘s George Rohac helped me with the Kickstarter for The Webcomics Handbook, and he’s been behind some major Kickstarter fundraisers.
In completing the Google Analytics Academy course on Digital Analytics Fundamentals, I picked up a lot of useful knowledge, but I wanted to share this tip right away because it was one of those “I wish I’d have known that a long time ago” things.

My Kickstarter backers got the first release of the podcast and members of Webcomics.com will get access to it next, with a public release scheduled later.
I hope you enjoy it as much as George and I enjoyed recording it.

Are you tired of your Web site never showing up in searches? Are you so far down in Google they’ll have to create “Google Basement” just to show your site?

In an interview with the BBC, Vince Gilligan, the creator of TV mega-hit Breaking Bad, gives partial credit to illegal pirating for the show’s immense success. According to TorrentFreak.com, the show was illegally downloaded over a half-million times.

For years, WordPress has had an Achille’s Heel. Since it was the predominant CMS engine, it was the prime target for hackers. If they could hack WordPress, they could get into a tremendous number of sites.
So every time a hack was uncovered, WordPress would release a software update — but unless the Web-site manager was on the stick and installed the update right away, his or her site was vulnerable to attack.

I’ve been giving a lot of though to longform comics — mostly because I think we’re at a place right now where longform comics could really blossom. But I think it’s going to mean adjusting the traditional approach that I see happening among longform comic creators. Let’s start with the preliminaries — which longtime readers of this site are going to recognize immediately. And then we’ll transition into the part that I think could really make a difference for longform comics.

We have a lot of information on this site for first-timers. And we have a lot of information here for people who have been doing comics at the professional level. But I wanted to challenge myself to write a post that strictly addresses the in-betweeners — the people who aren’t exactly new, yet definitely aren’t doing pro-level work yet. What can you do to take your comic to the next level.

This is a new Hot Seat critique series that I’m experimenting with. It reinforces the idea that you’re only as good as your latest update. Participants have submitted their URLs knowing that I’m going to view their site on a random day and talk about only that latest update. Of course, as is the case with all Hot Seat critiques, that’s only the beginning of the discussion. Members are encouraged to jump in from there and carry the conversation further.
