I think the current method of getting traffic is to say something scathing on Twitter and pray the algorithm gods bless you with attention.

Cup Runneth Over posted:Post them in this thread. I mean, I definitely have, but I'm scared of being That Guy Who Won't Shut Up About His Thing comicad is good but it doesn't yet have the size and variety project wonderful had, it has made me some money but it's still really weak as an advertising method edit: specifically, so I'm not just taking a vague poo poo on comicad: project wonderful worked with a lot of webcomics but also a lot of game and game adjacent sites. My comic's some of that interactive homestuck style bullshit that, for marketing purposes, historically resonates better with people looking for games than with those looking for webcomics. My absolute beeest results was targeting various video game forums and poo poo on project wonderful. Comicad has a faint whiff of a couple of those types of sites (like Improbable Island, who I've basically been trading money with) but it's 95% webcomics which is fine, but it lightly kicks me in the dick but I also can't market to traditional gaming outlets because it's not, in a way that matters, a game Lunatic Sledge fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Jan 20, 2020 |

I don't really know how actually effective it is, but this:Bongo Bill posted:Post the comics directly on social media and make them hashtag relatable. Definitely seems like the strategy a lot of content creators are taking. Make an account on tumblr or twitter that advertises updates and funnels people to the website, and then a cross between algorhythmic schenanigans and users of that social media site sharing your work with their followers draws people in. I don't really know the specifics, but I've been given the impression that a lot of the wide open web of the 2000s has been compressed into these content aggregation sites. If you have a specific target audience of people who you think will like your work, you could even dive in directly to sites that have a community that you think will be receptive and do things like posting in their forums or subreddits, although that may get hairy between individual sites' posting policies and having to deal with communities.

Given Ayo’s hatred of Bina as a representation of weakness, which Ayo is tied to and endangered by, its kinda ironic that they’re both dying because Ayo got stabbed in a way that has nothing to do with Bina’s own frailty or strength.

rannum posted:i love how blunt ayo is in her hate of ayo in comparison to Bina who does feel a kind of guilt about the feelings Well, we're privy to seeing the whole picture of Bina because she's the protagonist, but from an outside perspective she's kind of a really lovely person, so it's not surprising that Ayo is also a reflection of that aspect of her. It's one of the reasons I really like Bina as a character. She's said and done so much stuff over the course of the comic that would make her a horrible person but at the end of the day her heart is in the right place, no pun intended, and it shines through in other ways. Also lol if the thing that pulls Ayo and Bina back together is their mutual selfish hatred of one another

I guess I can talk about my comic here a bit. I've been doing "The Fuzzy Princess" for over 3 years now (I started it in late 2016), with more on the way. I realize the rather newspaper comics-ish drawing style might be a turnoff for some people, although I'm having fun with it, either way. I had a successful Kickstarter last year for the first book, which collected the first year of the comic. I'm gonna do another one in the coming weeks for the second book. I'm pretty excited about it because I think the comic really improved in the 2nd year. Also it has an introduction by Dana Simpson of "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" fame, which really made my day when I got it.

Maybe, but there are probably better ways of doing that, like having a frank confrontation, instead of basically doing it at gunpoint. Remember, this is still someone who is still trying to get over their survivors guilt. What I am saying is there was probably better ways of going about this.

On a side note, it's interesting to consider how Undine could even fight Cassidy, since her power isn't very well suited to deflecting slashes and stabs, and while she knows she can theoretically safely take out one of the clones and have Cassidy be fine, I feel like it would be pretty upsetting to drown or crush a girl even if she gets up after.

Also they dont talk and this one has what seems to be specific vendettas There are a lot of valid reasons to think for her to think this is weird and personal, especially since Undine isn't aware of Goop interacting with Rue and possibly other girls. Especially when Kokoro went from knowing nothing to getting calls after Undine told her about it. Kokoro never heard anything and its possible most girls haven't and the ones who did probably died or didnt even notice. Rue only noticed the goop hand by happenstance, even

Cassidy is definitely going about this the wrong way, but she has every right to be concerned. She doesn’t know right now why she should be concerned, but her suspicions are justified. I’ll bet Gabby shows up and knocks one of them out.

This doesn't read like concern to me. - She (likely) has been spying on Undine and Kokoro - Gabby (Sorry, was that her name?) outright says to be careful with her - Jumps at the chance to train with Undine on the night Kokoro is away - Basically forces Undine into a duel This is not going to be friendly.

Captain Oblivious posted:Yeah that shot was going clean through center mass but for android intervention. Jones you are too dumb to live. Like I've said before, being dumb is what makes her dangerous, because she'll do things a smart person wouldn't. In the last 24 hours, Jones has: double-crossed her boss and took over started killing members of the organization she figures liked him better than her, but not nearly enough to constitute an effective purge kidnapped the richest man in town with no plan kidnapped a cop, who is the police chief's son, with no plan stole a giant friggin' mech she doesn't know how to use and honestly has no use for, and has all its settings in German, basically jsut because it was there Then when people point out that her "evil plan" is stupid, she starts throwing a tantrum about how kids don't know how the "real world" works because that's easier than admitting she doesn't actually have a plan at all. Jones has always been going to die; it's just a question of how many teenagers with anime haircuts she was going to take with her.

Don't forget her purge of her own organization left her with nothing but z-tier talent who all get worked over effortlessly save for 1 guy... who she constantly insults and treats like a joke. Poor Lupus, he deserves a better boss.

Either she thinks Undine was responsible for Team Alchemical dying (which isn't helped by an unknown, intelligent monster being the real cause that Undine doesn't want to burden others with because survivor's guilt sucks) or she thinks she is moving in on Kokoro and wants the juicy details. This feels personal more than anything, and she can't outright accuse either way because bullying someone with clear survivor's guilt is terrible, and flat-out asking when HP is there would lead to questions why she cares.

I don't think anyone would blame the former on Undine (okay, well, im sure SOMEONE but i doubt a fellow magical girl, especially with the fallout of Tessa giving up her powers to save undine). Cassidy probably has been snooping on a lot of Undine & Kokoro's interactions, at least enough to figure out Something is off and Undine herself probably acts weird about it beyond the "your team died" aspect. so it probably is the kokoro thing, it's what the chapter's been about so far, with the goop being what undine thinks about and goes all out for. e: Gabby, latter: "Yeah she's just an INTENSE rumormonger, even worse than Bud. Gives me the creeps. Total blabber mouth, and you can take that from someone called Gabby!" e2: I'm rereading the first part of the chapter and i forgot about Kokoro's manager wanting new footage so they're going to get a camera man they have to protect.

You know what? I think you convinced me it is "Cassidy thinks Kokoro and Undine are an item" and Cassidy is just being unusually aggressive about finding out. But Undine (and by extension the audience) thinks she is talking about Goops. It certainly feels anime enough misunderstanding for this comic. We shall see.
