Do you advertise Comic Genesis...

[Phact0rri]

... in real life? It seems to me that anytime people talk about webcomics, or wanting to do comics, I'm always mentioning CG. I realized this today at work, talking to Hip/Hop artist talking about making a comic for his CD.

*face palm*

I've mentioned it, but usually try to get people just to go for a paid host. That way I get commission.

[RobertBlake]

I have. Usually when I'm talking about my comic in particular, though.

[MixedMyth]

Er...they're talking about spreading the word about Comic Genesis as a service to friends and family, not about selling ad space on one's webcomic. Although as far as I know, that is also perfectly fine to do...? I know there are CG and Keenspot comics that participate in Project Wonderful, anyway.

[Alias Pseudonym]

I think it's a clever spambot that plucked a post out of one thread about advertising and stuck it in another.

Thanks for ruining a harmless Discussion Spamon!

Smoking doesn't cause cancer, that's just another one of Al Gore's dirty lies! Plus if you're in the room won't you get cancer too?


Sadly doing a webcomic never comes up in any of my conversations with real people(with imaginary yes) so I don't get the chance to pimp out CG.

[VeryCuddlyCornpone]

I do occasionally, but my own site is so paltry I feel silly and generally only discuss it with my geekier friends who appreciate the "webcomic scene" in general.

[BionicDance]

I...don't really get into conversations where ComicGenesis would come up. Maybe if someone asks me about my comic, I tell 'em about CG, but...I don't have that conversation a lot. Hardly ever, really.

And if I ever bring it up, well...forgive me, I mention ComicGenesis as being awesome, yes, but for me in particular as more of a stop-gap to get my comic out there until I can get the fan-base to justify getting a pay site where I can put my own advertising and maybe make a buck or two off my comic. I wouldn't care if I weren't a poor girl; I'd stay on CG forever if I had money to spare. But I'm unemployed and broke, so if I can make a buck offa my comic, I'll jump ship and host my own given the opportunity. S'no kick against CG; this place is great...but I gotta eat (and keep myself in booze and hookers, neh?)...

Just sayin'...

I'm a vegan so I have 50% less chance of getting cancer. bwahaha

[Black Sparrow]

Heh. Yeah, when I tell people I like webcomics, people always go "Oh, do you read..." and then start listing off the big ones that we all love-hate. Even though I don't hang out here anymore, I like to mention Comic Genesis and Keenspot as good places to look for more comics to read.

I've only run into someone trying to make a webcomic once, though, and he already had hosting. Bleh.

[IVstudios]

I pimp CG every chance I get (I've been trying to get a friend of mine to do a comic on here for years). Back when I was still in school I even used webcomics (and CG, Keenspace at the time) as the subject of a few reports and papers and such.

Whoa... I've never met anybody from Vega before!
What kind of cures for cancer do they have on your homeworld?

I think it was Winston Churchill who said if you avoid Alcohol woman and tobacco one will live a 100 years but it will feel like two hundred. I don't doubt the vegan diet is much healthier, but life without meat and cheese? that ain't livin'. sure bacon will take decades off my life but it's soooooooooooo good.
