Your guide to crowdfunding success
Since 2014, my comic books have raised over £170,000 on Kickstarter, thanks to the generosity of my readers.
Crowdfunding Comics captures over a decade's worth of experience in one handy (and free!) digital guide book. It also includes insights from my SEO and digital marketing gigs to help you smash your funding goals.
The book can help you plan your crowdfunder in advance, create an engaging campaign page, market the project, set realistic targets and more.
I hope it helps to make your dream comic project a reality. Good luck!
