Promoting HIPcomix and MCcomix

[Doctor Robo]

As some of you may know, I am in charge of the marketing of HIPcomix and MCcomix, in addition to my writing duties. Well, I am on a mission to get the word out about our sites to as many people as possible. That's why I'm posting this message - as a call for help.

Those of you who are members of HIPcomix and/or MCcomix already know the type of high-quality comics we produce week in and week out. But, today's erotic comics fanbase is a niche market at best. I am looking for ways to expand that market, while keeping in mind the adult nature of our product. So what I'm asking is for you, our loyal readers, to send in suggestions of where I can go and what I can do to better promote our sites and our comics. Should we use social media like Facebook or Twitter? Should we hit up art sites like Deviant Art? Are there any bondage/mind control/heroine peril online communities that I'm unaware of?

Any ideas that you can think of will be most helpful in trying to attract more fans to pur particular brand of comics.

Business has been good, but it could always be better. Look at it this way: the more customers we have, the better the product that we can put out. You all will benefit from this endeavor as much as we will. So feel free to respond to this message in this forum and let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

I saw that you guys are on Facebook now, but I don't know that those social networking sites like that and Twitter are the way to go, because there's no real anonymity on those, and people tend to enjoy keeping a large degree of that with regard to sites like this (probably far more with "fetish" porn than with regular straight up porn). This is why I will unfortunately never ever "friend" MCComix from my Facebook account. This is an interest I'd rather my friends and family didn't know about.

And that presents a bit of a challenge to you as far as how to promote the site, I'm sure.

So I would think that sites like Deviant Art, where people can enjoy a sense of anonymity a little more easily, would be a better route to approach. But that's just my take. I want to see the site do extremely well, no matter how it's promoted!
