Web ComicOf all the things I have covered in this blog about web comics, the one thing that seems to be asked the most is “how to start a webcomic“.

Since I have a blog about learning to be an independent comic book creator and starting a web comic is an important part of the independent comic world, I’ll go ahead give you a simple checklist to get started.

Read then ACT!

Before I jump into the list I want to give you a little heads up on most people reaction to this post.

Many of you will read this and never act on it.

The Madman of Magic Comic book is scheduled to launch January 1, 2013.  That is 21 days away.  With all the excitement of finding a new printer, preparing kickstarter rewards, etc; I have had little time to plan the actual marketing for the launch.

With such little time, I will be limiting my marketing efforts on this launch and instead schedule in time for the second comic book launch.

This video gives some great resources and practical tips for planning and learning about the best way to get free publicity and how to properly utilize your paid strategies.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.
