Quote: I've long maintained that eight is the minimum number of active posters required to make the board viable. We dipped below that a year or more since and we're seeing the consequences.But I have nowhere else to go! I don't know where they've all gone, and I can't see myself posting stories to Facebook, it's mostly family and work contacts, and not much of an audience. Google+ maybe someday, because I was smart enough to split that off into two groups, but not all that much promise there, either. I used to post stuff to my web sites, but that wasn't all that effective either - I'd get maybe one or two people a month stopping by, if that. And that was with fanfic, which has its own audience - World Class was a perpetual ghost town. Quote: I have serious doubts about any marketing strategy that releases 52 new comics products over the course of a year and expects many of them to prosper. Indeed, even those with existing followings might suffer from "jumping off". I'm with most commentators in predicting a short-term sales spike followed by massive event fatigue.I think the fact that it's all being done by a small pool of writers/artists, planned centrally by two people, is going to cause problems almost immediately. Quote: And going to competetive e-comic release at the exact moment you want the retailers to be on your side is lunacy.That might work, since a lot of people are collectors and need the paper copies to archive. Right now they're at a point where people are giving up comics entirely because it's inconvenient to go to a local comic shop once a week. Electronic distribution will get those people back in. | |||||||
