We, a group of professional writers/artists with decades of experience, managed to raise over $1,033.00 a MONTH to create comics, using GoFundMe.
We've worked with Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image and other major names, and we're very proud and excited about this brand new way to get fund - and to reward everyone, whether they support us or not.
This works, folks! If you're sick and tired of all of Patreon's crap, this might be more useful. If you want some tips:
Get a great, respected team: It's beneficial for you to have a good, experienced, and well-grounded team, someone people either know, or should know, or know their work.
Update often: Even if its just a paragraph or two, your update goes out personally to everyone who supports you, not just the public, so the more you have to say or share, the better. We're working on comic trailer videos which will help us a lot.
Be visual: This is a comic industry, and if you're going to play in it, show off your stuff frequently, whether WIPs, sneak peeks at new pages, etc. Just like as if you were doing Patreon rewards - except you're sharing them with the world.
Good luck! Our goal is $1200 but of course the more we make, the more comics we make.
