NO-NO #7–Doing It All Yourself

I created, wrote, penciled, inked, lettered, edited, colored and published NEW ZODIAX mostly by myself. I’m exhausted. Find someone to help you share the workload, someone who compliments your skill set, whether it’s creative or promotional, and compensate them handsomely;) Personally I am on an active hunt for a promotional person who knows the comics industry well and can handle the press releases and sales side of things.

In summary, I’m simply looking at these No-Nos as problems to be solved. If you are an indie creator and making cash is your sole priority, you wouldn’t be doing this, right? There’s a tremendous amount of love in the indie comics I’ve seen. But at the same time, I feel the financial rewards should be as important as the creative rewards. We all have limited budgets and limited time. If you are thinking about any of these No-Nos for your own project, I hope some of my experience will help save both your budget and time. Feel free to share your own experience and opinions.
