The Dreadful -- Chapter 10

I just registered to give some encouragement. I think The Dreadful is one of the better current webcomics. I've seen your art style evolve as the comic progresses. The characters are likable, even the villains. The storyline is interesting although I feel like we haven't gotten to the true plot yet. I'd like to see what happens next.

I've been working on a creative endeavor myself (writing a book) and have been doing some research about how to be successful. Actually producing content is just the start, you have to promote your work too. Of course make use of social media (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc). Try to get on the top webcomic sites and encourage your followers to go vote you up. Try to get bloggers to do a review of your comic. Maintain a blog of your own. I'm sure there is other stuff but that would probably be a good start.

Just think about all the gifted writers, artists, musicians that go unnoticed while talentless hacks make it big. It's not fair that people who produce absolute trash sell millions of books/albums but it is what it is. Learn how to self promote and harness the power of the internet. It'll at least give you a chance.
