u/Depth_Shell launched a first comic campaign for issue 1 of a five-part sci-fi series and expected it to fail. Experienced comic creators gave specific feedback.
What Reddit users said
Webinars from Kickstarter and author groups recommend lower goals for first campaigns; also back other projects, which helps research and credibility.
Original commentLikely not enough pre-launch. Don't set a goal so low you lose money, but just enough to pay the creators and printing is reasonable.
Original commentThe title and page don't make it clear what's being funded: a first issue, a graphic novel? Visitors should know instantly.
Original commentHas run several comic campaigns and says digital-only rewards are too little; physical comics are more rewarding for creators and backers.
Original comment(Writing in Spanish) Suggests releasing PDF and print-on-demand first, using the income for ads on the next issue.
