For a year now, or so, I’ve been selling modestly three titles on ComiXology, and two on DriveThruComics.\u00a0 “Modestly” is modestly overselling the idea.\u00a0 The reason being that personal marketing is non-existent.\u00a0 All the sites I might post to build a readership frown on what the general notion is of “SPAM.”\u00a0 Many sites expect you to post others’ content and not your own.\u00a0 And even if one responds to the letter of the law, the spirit of enough gatekeepers is base enough to prevent potential dissemination.<\/p>\n
Behind this practice is a modern, digital-age notion: you want your content free.\u00a0 Even the likes of Louis CK who makes it simple and reasonable to get his shows still gets 99% pirated (sue me for making up stats to make a point – you know the sentiment is true enough).\u00a0 Well, fine.\u00a0 I want free content too, and the easy ability to drop change, or a recurrent donation, set to my needs\/abilities, on my schedule, as a reward for things I like.<\/p>\n
SO.\u00a0 I HEARBY MAKE ALL MY CONTENT FREE (actually, TPG #4 will be the last one submitted to ComiXology, THEN it will all be hosted free elsewhere).\u00a0 I have been serializing a graphic novel, The Pizza Guy, in 30 page installments on ComiXology,\u00a0 and from here on out, I will publish the pages, probably one or two per week, ON THIS WEBSITE, maybe Tumblr and DeviantArt.\u00a0 If you like, please share.\u00a0 If you care to, please donate at PAYPAL (see widget) If you want paper copies, that can still be done, minicomic sized, for 10$ each postage included to the lower 48 states.<\/p>\n
So, since I am giving my stuff away totally free, I will feel free to post myself far and wide.\u00a0 It isn’t SPAM if I am not selling anything.\u00a0 Not by any reasonable standard.\u00a0 I wonder if I shall fall afoul of the dangerous notion that SPAM is any unwanted content\/interaction (like being asked for directions on the street) which I note with disdain many of those younger than I seem to think is one of their Rights.\u00a0 Kids, it’s not.\u00a0 There is nothing in our federal or state systems that make it illegal for you to be talked at.\u00a0 Panhandling, in some places (most questionably), is struck off.\u00a0\u00a0 But I’m not doing that.\u00a0 I’m GIVING MY HARD MADE CONTENT TO ANYONE WHO WANTS.\u00a0 And I’ve left a plate for you to throw me spare coin if you feel it’s worth it.\u00a0 But I am going to sit here and make puppy eyes at you while you consider.<\/p>\n
