A Guide to Zero-Cost Webcomic Promotion

For those of you seeing this for the first time, let me introduce myself.  My name is Rob Johnson, I write the webcomic Miss Melee.  The artist is Ariel Guadalupe, his Tumblr is here (he’s pretty great!). I also now write a second comic, Salvadora, drawn by @jmdurden!

There are a lot of webcomic authors out there, and possibly even more prospective ones, and a question I see frequenty is “how do I promote my comic without spending money?”  I see this all the time, in chatrooms, on message boards, everywhere.

I’ve received a number of requests to make an official post about this, so here goes.  You’re a webcomic author, or perhaps you want to be one someday.  You want to promote your comic, but you don’t have any money to pay for advertising, or you’d just rather not spend money just yet.  As of this post, I have over 7 months of experience promoting my comic, and while I have spent money on advertising, a very large portion of my new readers (75-85%) have come from promotion where I didn’t spend a dime.  I’ll start with the more obvious methods and work my way down.

Mormon side of Tumblr, I have some questions:

So about once a week, seemingly always while I’m driving off to do something else and so can’t creepily spy from behind my curtains as I am wont to do, two guys that I think are Mormon missionaries show up on my street.  They have the black shoes, black pants, and seem to have the white collared shirt and tie going on, but it’s cold as Hoth here so they’re always in long black coats and I can’t be completely sure.  There is an LDS branch in my town.

Now I have no interest in converting to Mormonism, but Indiana winters are less of a season and more the wrath of an eldritch god made of slush and brambles, so I’d at least like to be able to give the poor guys some hot chocolate and a few minutes out of the wind.

The thing is, they’ve never knocked on my door that I can tell, or left any literature or anything.  Actually, as far as I can tell, they don’t knock on any doors at all.  I always see them walking up the street at a fairly brisk pace, not going up anyone’s driveways.

How exactly do Mormon missionaries operate?  I assumed they went door to door, but do they just have specific houses they visit?  How do they pick the houses?  I always seem to see these guys around noon; is that when they’d be out proselytizing, rather than later in the day when people are off work?  Is it okay to invite missionaries in if you have no intention of converting?  How can I be sure that they’re actual missionaries and not serial killers with a Funny Games-esque fashion sense?

Speaking as a former missionary, any contact is definitely welcomed :) Missionaries are given specific areas to proselyte in based on the boundaries of the local church building that they are assigned to. Some missionaries don’t live in their boundaries, so they have to walk/drive a short distance to get there. 

I always appreciated it when people disclosed it right away that they weren’t interested so that I knew to respect their personal boundaries. Feel free to offer them some kindness if you ever feel the need to~

i genuinely hope anyone ages 13-15 on this website (or, god forbid, younger) stays safe and keeps their private information secure and really private 

please, if you’re really young on tumblr, try not to get swept up in the discourse and the tremendous amount of arguing with strangers that goes on here. i know you probably feel mature for your age but this website, like, really psychologically affects youth, and i encourage you to be cautious about your interactions with people on here

 please, kiddos, stay safe

[chizuu-deactivated20200817]

additionally, for my young, non-adult followers,

depression memes about wanting to die aren’t a healthy coping mechanism and can lead to worsening symptoms of your own mental health if overindulged in

you are not garbage. or trash. i know these terms are popular on here, but you shouldn’t be calling yourself that. you have everything you need inside of you to become your best self, even if it’s hard to see that

seriously, really don’t trust adults who want to date you. don’t trust adults who call you hot, flirt with you, ask you sexual questions, or ask you for nudes. (that last one is VERY illegal, also, please get help from a trusted non-creepy adult if this happens to you)

the opinions of complete strangers who aren’t interacting with you typically aren’t worth it. move on, use the block button. it’s not worth engaging with people who are going to make you feel awful or unsafe

take breaks from tumblr if it’s getting really stressful for you. talk to friends if you’ve got em, play a videogame or do whatever it is that can take your mind off the massive amounts of Hell on this website

recovery is good. it’s really, really good. if you’re having mental health issues, please seek out help if you can, or ask a trusted adult or friend for guidance. you are not alone. don’t let this website make you feel like you are
