I just finished my first full week of drawing 2 to 3 pages a day. I find it to be a good job if it ever pays money. It's not too stressful, it's not physically demanding, and I don't have much of the public to deal with other than fans.
I've started 3 conversations so far out of 170 or so total watchers. It's above zero growth, and it was free. That's more than I can say for the $700 I spend on facebook ads which amounted to nothing. They're probably con artists giving fake numbers. Facebook eventually malfunctioned, and stopped letting me post anything. I messaged them to fix it, but they never did. So I don't use facebook anymore to advertise the comic. They'll never get another penny from me. They're idiots.
One of my fans helped me notice a mistake I made on a pencilled page, which I then edited. So that was helpful.
Having a respectable fledgling small business, has helped me feel better about myself, and now I find reading comics in my comic collection more fun. It's not a bad thing to have a habit of working a lot. I have a theory that the only way for everyone to have a livable income in America, is for the workaholics, 1 out of 10 of us, who have rich habits, to make businesses from scratch to then help out the rest of us with either a good paying job, or exposure to help people make their own business.
