My Process for Trying to Improve My Comic Launch

Last week, I shared the results from my creator-owned comic relaunch. The data wasn’t exactly impressive, but instead of viewing it as a failure, I decided to treat it as an opportunity to learn and improve. In this week’s vlog, I walk through my system for prioritizing tasks for all my projects while trying to fix this.

The Challenge of Staying Consistent

With the multiple projects I have, including music and my vintage store, finding the time to fix my comic relaunch can be difficult. I just write everything for them each week on a to-do list and then think about what really needs to be done.

Key Updates I’m Working On

• Email Signup Integration: I realized last week that visitors weren’t sure how to join my mailing list. I’m now focusing on adding that directly in my comic posts.
• Automated RSS Emails: When readers join the email list they get the daily comics by email. I’m redesigning my RSS-driven email alerts to include my new ebooks or latest updates.
• Improving Site Navigation: I’ve added a new section on my comics page that helps new readers choose whether they want a random comic, the latest entry, or to start from the very beginning.

The goal isn’t to do everything at once; it’s to figure out the right things so I can automate these tasks that work. That way I can eventually get back to what I love most, simply creating art and music.

How do you prioritize your creative work? Do you write it all down and filter, or do you have another method?
