Fes, Tanya, and Aaron are joined by Tanya Higgins and Scary Voice Mr. Christopher Solace of A Better Way Merchandising Service (Launching Aug 12th). They also demonstrate how we use the show for shameless self promotion. But we do talk a good deal about merchandising for a webcomic and we glaze over putting up a store.
This week we set our Beacon Searchlight on Hexagon Death Squad! Don’t forget the Strip Fight.org Weekly Ringside Update! Milestones reported this week: Rooster Teeth Comics (300), Amazoness (100), Questionable Content (5-Years).

Fes and Tanya talk about those webcomic list sites, such as The Webcomic List, where you can submit your webcomic to an ever expanding index. We also talk about advertising your webcomic through services such as Project Wonderful. Also, this week’s cover is from Nathan Hommond of Jazz and Jess.com. Another great way to advertise, by sending in Fanart! (Click the cover to see the fuller, original art!)
