A lot of new WebComic Creator thinks that if they make a comic and share it with a couple friends that it’ll get passed around & “TA-DA..!”, everyone will know about it and stardom ensues. Those of you that have been creating art online for a while are thinking, “I wish that’s how it went”, but we all know that there is a lot more involved.
In this article I will share with you the elements needed for you to not only create a successful WebComic, but to make an income from it as well.
Let’s get started….
There are 6 elements that make up a successful, engaging, webComic. They are (from most to least important): You (the creator/s), the story & art, the stage, propaganda, audience, & revenue.
