Damn, I wish I had thought of writing a book about how to make money doing webcomics, then maybe I could make some money doing webcomics.

Isn’t this the whole point of HowTo books. Someone should make a HowTo book about how to make a profit making HowTo books. Oh, maybe that’s been done already.

I’ve probably been a little harsh Matt. It is commendable that Kurtz et al. have tried to open up this debate in webcomics, but for me this is very much old ground.

Self-publishers, traditional mini-comics and ‘zine creators have been dealing with the issue of money for decades and the same principles still apply in the webcomic domain… There’s a whole debate over print vs web at the moment that is conjoined with this issue.

The truth is, you can never go to far in promoting your work and getting it to pay for itself. All the information is already out there, but what ‘How to make Webcomics’ has done is got a few sucess stories to put their name to that information.

I suppose what I’m saying is that there seems to be a need for this book, and that’s sad because it shows that the webcomic community really isn’t helping itself out.

“I mean, you shouldnâ€™t really be making webcomics for the money”

I completely agree. You shouldn’t be making comics or illustrating – period – if you don’t love it. But I was really excited to post this because I think illustrators and artists have a block when it comes to talking about money – and that block only hurts us.

Books like this are good, because the more information we share about how we get paid, the better off we all are when it comes to paying the rent.

But it does seem that more profitable than webcomics are the ‘How to make webcomics’ guides and books.

Why not skip the webcomic altogether and go straight fot the tutorial?

I’m interested to see what they say, but I hope “How to make webcomics!” doesn’t become the next “How to draw sexy manga chicks!”
