Week 106: How To REALLY Make Money From 4 Panel Comics

WEEK 106 - Draw or Die This week I’m answering How to Make Money from 4-Panel Comics. Probably the question I get asked most about. Watch the video for a full breakdown. Here’s some summary / notes: BEFORE WE BEGIN!\ You gotta love it deeply! The ACT of making comics. The Craft of drawing and writing comics. If you don’t REALLY love doing this, it’s going to be a slog and a drag on you and everyone around you. And you’ll never be able to get through the TOUGH times and deadlines that will ultimately creep up on you. #1 DO IT YOURSELF... “You Can Go Your Own Way” There are three keys here. BE AUTHENTIC BE CONSISTENT - Stick to a publishing schedule.! KNOW YOUR Comic’s TOPIC to KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. Don’t know what you should make a comic about? Check out the PILLARS VIDEO here on my channel. Remember... EVERYONE KNOWS SOMETHING well. #2 WHERE SHOULD YOU PUBLISH??? EVERYWHERE! Think of this like a big FUNNEL. Top of the funnel is EVERYWHERE. Let people know your comic exists. Social Media. As many as possible. LIVESTREAM and ENGAGE.... BE OUT THERE and DISCOVERABLE! Watch my FUTURE OF COMICS video for more info on this. Now, a big key most comic creators miss. YOU HAVE TO OWN YOUR LIST!!! I suggest starting on SUBSTACK it’s free. Start publishing your main comics there as an archive. Use social media as a way to TEASE your comics, and get people to signup for free to support your work and get special access to your comic. BY THE WAY... If you’re an artist out there watching this, subscribe to this channel! AND get on the main newsletter list. We have over 100 weeks of FREE essays and letters to help you stay encouraged. https://drawordie.co YOUR BIG GOAL? Get to 1000 True FANS. Watch the full stream for my definition of a True Fan. It doesn’t happen over night! Build Brick By brick! ONE fan at a time. Go the extra mile. Show up and DO WHAT YOU PROMISE! BEST WAYS TO START MONETIZING YOUR COMIC? Print on Demand, but keep it special! Memberships... Use Patreon or Fourthwall. I use Fourthwall. It’s not as robust BUT it’s tied nicely to my shop and I can do P.O.D items AND my own stuff. AND memberships. DIRECT MERCH. DO A PREMIUM PRICE TEST! A great way to test if you have True Fans. Questions? Comments? Drop them here and I'll come back.
