Unlike most evenings I actually have something specific I want to ask of you. Advertising anything online has gotten extremely difficult with the prevalence of adblockers, Google ruining ads to begin with, and social media destroying the realm of the personal website. All my social media, which essentially is the same for the comic, have fallen into ruin for a variety of reasons. Not least of which is that legacy accounts are often broken by virtue of existing through site updates. Additionally most of my posts are little more than quick update links, which social media hates since they want you to stay on them. Video content is about the only thing you can use to get attention, but that’s not what I do. Anyway, what I need from you is a pitch of the comic in the comments to people who don’t know what it is. How do I sell this to people? I am a terrible judge of my own work since I tend to view it very negatively. Basically any selling points would be appreciated. Long or short, whatever you have that could be useful when trying to make my work enticing. I mean anything. Personal stories about why you started reading, breakdowns of why it positively portrays various things, ways it helped you in your life, it’s all on the table. The day is quickly approaching when I will be the one left to make sure my mother has a pleasant life in her retirement years and I take this responsibility seriously. I would like it if she didn’t have to worry about living on an extremely fixed income. In order to do that I need to draw in more patrons. Not all that many really, but stable people who like the kind of low stakes tales I make. The problem is letting them know this comic exists at all. Ideally I’d like to do that without having to become a lolcow. Or at least not become more of one than I already am. So this is my earnest request. You don’t have to leave your name or anything. The site allows anonymous comments. I need help seeing the value in what I do from the outside. If you could provide a little I would appreciate it.

Anyway it’s time to post so I’ll do that. If I don’t get many comments I might make a throwaway page that just points to the blog tomorrow, or sometime in the future, since this is actually important. As far as everything else goes it’s business as usual. I’ll be here with more comic on Friday. I hope your week has been nice so far. I also hope it will continue being that way until next we meet. Until then, keep squeezin’ them monkeys, lad.
