Online community A New Type of Community[edit] The idea of a community is not a new concept. What is new, however, is transferring it over into the online world. Before, a community was defined as a group from a single location. If you lived in the designated area, then you became a part of that community. Interaction between community members was done primarily face-to-face and in a social setting. The study of communities has had to adapt along with the new technologies. Online communities can congregate around a shared interest, but can be spread across multiple websites. What is particularly tricky about online communities is that their meaning can change depending on who is defining them. Content: articles, information, and news about a topic of interest to a group of people.Forums or newsgroups and email: so that your community members can communicate in delayed fashion.Chat and instant messaging: so that the community members can communicate more immediately.

Best practices for soliciting direct buy advertisers to your website or blog Sometimes it is nice not to have to rely on Google AdSense or various CPM, CPA or CPC networks to generate revenue for your blog or website. And it is even nicer when you can supplement that income with additional revenue generated from direct buy advertisers, meaning they are advertisers that want to advertise directly on your blog without having to go through a middle man – meaning the advertiser gets more bang for their buck and you get the entire advertiser’s ad spend for your site without having to share it with a third party who takes a cut of your profits. When you reach a certain level of traffic and repeat visitors, especially if you are well known as an authority in your space, it is often more profitable for you to solicit advertising directly, as opposed to using a third party such as AdSense or a CPM network for your advertising.

Paul Martinez Explains Starting Your Own Webcomic Paul Roman Martinez writes for Bleeding Cool: Starting your own Webcomic! Almost since the first time I set up at a comic convention to sell my books, people have been asking me how I did it, or how they can do it. At first I didn’t know how to answer that. Everything I was doing was guesswork or patched together from pieces of advice I’ve received from others. Preparation-it might take years! I have known since I was 7 that I wanted to work in comic books. Learn everything you can, it will all come in handy! HTML, Javascript, It’s so overwhelming! I started and stopped a lot of comic projects before the advent of webcomics. WordPress and Comic Easel WordPress is the method I chose to use and it’s worked great for me. First you install WordPress using CPanel, then log into your WordPress installation to install the tools to manage your comic. Your next thought may be, “How can I make money of this webcomic?” Currently all my profits come from printed material. Style/Art Techniques

The Online Community Guide How Do Webcomics Make Money? A lot of my childhood was swept up in comics. I don’t mean superhero comics — I never really got into those — but funny strips that often contained subtle commentaries on life that flew over my youthful head. Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, and comics in that vein. Nowadays, though, a lot of great comics are being published on the web as webcomics. You might be interested in adding to the pool, but what if you want to do it full-time? The web is full of content ranging from general humor webcomics to webcomics for geeks.
