Episode 49 - Building Your Audience and Overcoming Defeat (with Curtis 'Specks' Thompson)

My guest today is Curtis “Specks” Thompson, the writer and creator of the comic series Legacy of the View. His series follows southern high school student Chaz Johnson, as he comes to terms with his new superpowers while just wanting to live his normal teenage life as a baseball player.

After his first foray on Kickstarter failed, Curtis took measurable steps to increase his audience, and relaunched to success. We find out exactly how he did it in this episode (his current Kickstarter just passed his funding goal, and he’s on to stretch goals!).

Enjoy!

Episode 46 - Growing a Fanbase and Creating Momentum with Your First Comic Book Series (with Nicholas Mueller, writer/artist of Demon Hunter Raven)

Nicholas Mueller had a problem.

He had just launched his first book, Demon Hunter Raven, but it was barely getting any traction! After his first campaign barely funded, he realized something needed to change.

Now, Nicholas is four issues into his comic series, and his latest crowdfunding launch funded in mere days. We’re talking with him about his work and career, and how he grew his fanbase and built momentum by just “being a real person.”

If you’re looking for some strategies to build your brand, this is the one to listen to!

Enjoy!
