One inspired blogger points out why the term Monday Blues doesn’t apply to webcomics readers… find out why.
Project Wonderful is a very useful tool for displaying ads on your webcomic site. Through this system, prospective advertisers bid on ad space on your site. The highest bidder wins the space. However, I think many webcartoonists are undermining their own best interests by not using PW to its fullest extent. Specifically, they’re not setting their minimum bids high enough and they’re misusing their “Your ad here” message

In this month’s To-Do list, it is suggested that you prepare a media kit for the summer convention season. What is a media kit, and why do you need one? A media kit is a folder that contains information about you and your comic, along with samples of your work, recent press releases and other promotional material. It is handed to a member of the media to enable (or encourge) them to cover your work in their publication. In short, a media kit is, as the name implies, the building blocks to the story that you want the world to know. In preparing the media kit, you are giving the journalist everything she needs to tell the story that you want to have told. Here are a few things you might like to consider including in yours:

Dear Webcomics.com, I’ve noticed a lot of the webcomics that are around my level (in terms of audience) are joining collectives. As the odd man out (they haven’t asked me to join their party) my opinion has been, they should be offering me more then just a few promises, to get me to join. I’ve noticed many of my fellow comickers giving up prime real estate on their sites, over to a collective-wide ad banner. From what I’ve been told, this banner will generate revenue to conventions, etc. The collectives in question are also suggesting that they will help generate traffic and all of the other typical rhetoric. They are also being told that they may join other collectives, and some will even host their comic for free. Talking with these individuals, they have decent reasons to back up every red flag that I point out. My question is: Am I being too skeptical? If I’m ever asked to join one, what should I be looking for to decide whether a collective is worth joining or not? –Carlisle
