In August last year, we opened our doors to the public for the first time to let creators begin publishing their work and testing out the platform. Since then, we’ve been working with a small group of early adopters to gather feedback. We’ve been rebuilding and constantly improving many of our features in preparation for launching GlobalComix to a bigger audience.
We have a deep respect for artists and their work, and we want to make sure we can create a path to financial success for creators. So today we are introducing the next big feature for our platform; Paid Comics Publishing. Whether you are an independent comic creator, a team, or an established publisher, you can now use GlobalComix to monetize your comics and reach paying readers globally. Hopefully this will lead to even more great comics, graphic novels, and manga.
Introducing Paid Page Credits
Here’s how it works, in four simple steps:
You can choose if your comics require payment to read. There are two models: 3 first pages free or 3 first releases free.
Readers discover comics through the free pages.
When they reach the end of the free content, they’re prompted to buy page credits. That leads to a page where they can choose between three packages:
Page credits are transferable from comic to comic. For each page read, one page credit is deducted from a reader’s pool and the creator/publisher is attributed with their share of that page credit.
100 page credits for $4.99
200 page credits for $9.49
350 page credits for $15.49
Pretty straightforward! We’ll summarize earnings daily, and creators can keep tabs via their income history page. More information can be found in our FAQ.
Why we chose this model
There were three big challenges we wanted to address in the process of creating a solution for paid comics publishing on GlobalComix:
Building a monetization structure that works for a range of creators: people who create and upload big batches of pages as chapters/issues on a weekly/monthly schedule, people who create and publish longer graphic novels on a non-recurring schedule, as well as for people who create and upload single pages or strips and publish each page as they go.
Making the income/revenue from publishing paid comics predictable and scalable, so it’s possible for creators and publishers to estimate what their revenue would be as they gain a following and more paid readers.
Simplifying the payment process for readers so they don’t have to manage and maintain individual payments/subscriptions for everything they read.
We think the pay-per-page model addresses these challenges for both creators and readers. It works for a variety of creators with different types of content and publishing schedules. For readers, the threshold for trying out new comics is low since you can read a few pages because you’re only paying by the page.
We hope this will lead fans and readers to explore new comics, while compensating creators for their work.
What’s next?
With a fully working version of paid publishing in place, we hope to set you up for success. We’ll be focusing on bringing new users to our platform while listening closely to our community and gathering feedback along the way.
The next immediate step is to build a dashboard where creators can get key insights about their comics. We want to answer questions like “How many readers do I have?”, “Which releases are most popular?”, “What pages do people spend the most time on?”, “How much time does the average reader spend on each comic?” and so on...
We’ve also come a long way on our Translations Marketplace, where the goal is to connect people who write and create comics with people who can translate and localize them to a different language/market. We think it will be a game changer. More on this later.
If this sounds exciting to you, don’t hesitate to spread the word and be a part of shaping the future of digital comics publishing. We’re looking forward to your ideas and feedback to help make this platform as great as possible. If you find bugs, make sure to tell us in the Bug Reporting Forum. If you have feature suggestions, please share them in our Suggestions Forum.
