This week I got my hands on a copy of the new book by Scott Kurtz and his fellow cartoonist buddies over at HalfPixel, How To Make Webcomics. Is it because I plan on producing my own webcomic? Alas, no… I gave up on that flight of fancy years ago. I took it as a sign that I ran into creative blocks after writing about four strips.

All the same, I’ve been listening to their podcast, Webcomics Weekly for the past few months and have still found it quite informative. After listening to their discussions over the webcomics industry, it’s not long before you can apply their insights toward just about any kind of online business. Just substitute the word “webcomic” for “blog”, “software”, “cthuhlu plushes“, or just about any form of web-based product or service and their ideas still apply. You’ll learn about web hosting, connecting with your audience, advertising, dealing with criticism, and the like.

The book is very reasonably priced; you can get a signed copy from the HalfPixel site for $20, shipping included.
