Top 10 Ways to Promote this New Comic?

[TJBehe]

Hi all,

Not sure if this goes here but here goes anyhow...

I've just posted some new pages onto my webcomic and am keen to sort out the promotion. Aside from all the comic-community tactics (forums posts, befriending folks, rating & reviewing others comics etc...) I'm trying to let folks know about my Contraband comic online...

...but I don't want to spam folks or pay have to for it.

Here are some of promo tactics I've lined up:

1. Free Sample Comic Posting (here, ComicSpace.com, Deviantart, etc..)
2. Forum and Group postings (on all major photo, art and general community sites)
3. Online Press Releases announcing new innovative ideas, etc... (pressbox.co.uk, articlebase)
4. Ezine Newsletter (opt-in email)
5. Free Business Directories listing
6. Link Exchanges (regular links with related business to enhance search engine optimization)
7. Banner Exchange Affiliate Programs (with other sites across internet)
8. Free newsletter adverts
9. Search Engine Optimization (sticking words put on sites that regularly get picked up by search engines)
10. Online interviews (where possible)

Basically the quality of the comic is what matters most but then again it's not gonna do you much good if no one knows anything about it.

Please drop a line if you think this is all on or if you know other/better tactics as a few of these schemes may now be a tad dated? Or just let me know your thoughts about the comic in general...

Cheers, TJ
