In Robert’s first article on the webcomics business model, he bent a couple noses out of shape. Many of you felt stuck inside or below “the base” of his model.
“The opportunity for the base is something I have the least expertise in, but my advice nonetheless would be to not focus on the business and focus on getting readers. I’m by no means a creative type, so I sadly can’t help you much on how to grow your fan base (my skills come in handy when you already have them), I just know that’s what you should be doing. This stage in your lifecycle is where your skills and talents are most critical. Again, listen to guys like Brad and Scott.” — Robert Khoo
I’ve posted before how much I dislike those sites that ask you to link to them under the auspices of counting votes that move your banner ad towards the top of some sort of list. I call them “Top-XX List” sites because thy’re all based on the banner ads displayed for a certain number of participants at the top of the list — Top 10, Top 20, Top 100, etc.
As I’ve said before, this is a glorified link-exchange in my opinion. And I’ll also pose the argument that the only winners are the people running the Top-XX sites themselves (they usually run their own ads).

Yesterday, in the Private Forum, a member asked, What are some tips and tricks for getting attention at a comic con? One member said: “Make sure you look like you’re having a great day even if you aren’t!”
It made me remember this wonderful moment in which a convention veteran took a moment to share some priceless advice with a newer exhibitor who was having a rough weekend.

There was a lot of activity over the weekend — which is fantastic! But there was an incredibly useful thread started in the Private forum called Artistic Resources.
It lists sites that offer detailed instruction on different drawing issues.
Take a moment, and check it out.
We spoke about this in the forum last week, but I want to get it out front in case anyone missed it.
