Process Based Web comic - Coming Soon

[Janus Steel]

Good Evening Gentles,

For a long time I've lurked here in the process occasionally posting content, sometimes posting comments and the like. I give back to the community but not probably as well as I could.

That changes soon.

How soon you say? And if you didn't to bad I'm answering it cause I started this here thread.

My other web comic has been going "strong", mostly out of spite, for the past five years. I'd like to create another one. This time completely adult related and process focused, like Eerie Cuties except written by yours truly. The processes that it'll contain are mostly likely very little AR to teenager at best to avoid any LOLI or SHOTA stuff, no point in jail time for this, Probably AP, Def Breast Expansion, DE BR, TG, PE, SW and maybe some GTS and as I'm a big fan of Attribute Theft a whole mess of that. IE the fetishes I like. It's going to be my web comic I'm writing so I get to pick my fetishes.

I spoke with some folks today who are my personal friends here on the forumn but I wanted to open this up to everyone else to get some feed back and ideas from the community in general.

The majority of businesses fail from under capitalism and lack of customer base. This is the thing that scares me the most. I'm looking for a good compromise on getting a customer base. I want to make sure we have a good customer base to really get this going and make it a success.

The idea is that I charge a monthly fee, 2 Bucks, flat. Cheaper if you pay for longer periods obviously. The idea that I subscribe by is that Quality can be done cheap with a large enough customer base, you guys, the fees are recouped in the amount of subscribers. Basically it's the philosphy of more is better. I give you content cheap you pay me a little and the more little dollars I get the more content I can provide.

I'm promising at least 2 pages a week, probably color, and my promise that we've not missed a single update for my other web comic in 5 years. And that's not an exaggeration. We've hit most holiday extra strips, donation pages every month, 2 voting images a week, 2 full color pages for the last five years. And every year during our anniversary we put out 5 pages for that week.

So, given that information above is 2.00 dollars (US) sound like a good deal to you?

I'm talking to folks to start getting the web page and payor information worked out. The artist is already on board, it's my previous web comic artist, who will be drawing this. Oh and did I mention we're doing this to pay for the Free Web Comic I've been writing for the past 5 years?

I'm doing this mostly so that when I do get around to publishing novels I have a large fan base familiar with my writing. He's doing it to get the skill so that he can go to Marvel or Image or DC and draw for whatever comic he wants. I'd love to turn this into a site where I attract quality artists and quality writers to continue providing content both free and paid to give to their fans. I'm something of a dreamer I know.

So... questions.

$2.00 - Is it Good Bad?
Update Schedule - What days would you want to see content added?
Payment Options - Not everyone has a credit card, what options would you like to see?
Whose interested in this idea and wants to see it go further?

For payment options, have Paypal as an option but keep the product/goods labeled as something like 'artwork subscription' since Paypal isn't really keen to the idea of people using the service for porn.

For update days I suggest Monday and Friday, OR, Tuesday and Saturday.

We use PayPal right now for the normal comic, actually the donation wallpapers are what pay for the ads and hosting. You're right Paypal isn't fond of adult stuff and based on the post I did in Flames & BS. I'm worried about a hater interrupting my money flow. Something might be doable however that allows Paypal without someone reporting us for porn and Paypal shutting down their link. They've done that to a number of sites that relied on them prior and that's something I'd like to avoid.

Yes, be VERY careful about P@yP@l. They shut my account down temporarily when I forgot how draconian they were about adult content. You'd have to be very careful about setting up some kind of workaround if you wanted to use them.

Yeah, we push the limit as is with the non process comic's donation wall papers. A few of them ended up on rule34, so they're probably borderline.

What might be doable is someone just pays the pay pal a donation and sends me an email and I just manually setup a username and account. It's something I'm working out with the html guy next week.
