In today’s show, veteran webcartoonist Brad Guigar (Evil, Inc.) drops an onslaught of mega-ton knowledge bombs on everything from Kickstarter to Patreon to creating better comics. You’re going to want to listen to this session at least twice!
Highlights of this Session Include:
- The state of the webcomics business model in 2017 from the guy who literally wrote the book on webcomics.
- What Brad wishes he focused more on in the early days.
- How Brad’s entire business almost went belly up a few years ago… and the crowdfunding platform that saved it. (Spoiler: He’s not talking about Kickstarter.)
- Plus: The art of the pivot.
Today’s Session is brought to you by…
This is the next big phase of ComixLaunch, and I’m excited to be taking this next step… and in the process, getting a better understanding of the Patreon platform, which we’re currently diving deep into on the podcast.

April is Audience Building Month on ComixLaunch.
The biggest reason creators don’t launch is fear of failure.
The biggest reason projects fail is failure to build and ready an audience for the project.
(Brad has a great line about that in this episode.)
So, in the month of April we’ll do episodes and interviews focused building your audience in different areas and on different platforms.
There will also be audience building Facebook ComixLunch live streams over at Facebook.com/comixlaunch all throughout April.
There will be extra bonus strategies for Club ComixLaunch members, so if you’re not yet a member ComixLaunch.com/patreon.
And, I may even put together another challenge… Either late April or early May for those of you who want a little extra support in getting this thing rolling.
Either late April or early May for those of you who want a little extra support in getting this audience growth thing turbo-charged.
