I know you haven't heard much from me (Sammi), but I am around checking our DrunkDuck progress on a regular basis. It is a constant joy to see that we are gaining another community of readers somewhere other than the official Valentine's Dei site, and exciting to be recognized by you all, especially at your 2010 awards.
Both Pete and I are keen to further the progress that our comic is making, hence we are making October a month for us to reach new landmarks both here and on our website. Our goals for DrunkDuck are to at least double our average page views and hopefully rope in some more readers from this important community. In order to do this we are running an Advertising Drive, where we will be rewarding participants with the opportunity to win some cool prizes for helping Pete and I promote our comic.
For doing one of the following Advertisement Acts, you will be rewarded one Ad-Token which will give you the chance to win prizes at the end of October (think of each token as a separate chance, like multiple raffle tickets):
- Adding Valentine's Dei to your DrunkDuck recommended comics (1 Ad-Token) - Giving us a shout-out on any public internet site (eg. Blog, DeviantArt, Redbubble etc) (1 Ad-Token) - Placing one of the VD banners on a public internet site (2 Ad-Tokens) - Referring another member to Valentine's Dei - just get them to make sure they let us know you referred them! (1 Ad-Token per member) - Voting >20 times during the month of October*
*Just send an email to SammiEmery_VD@hotmail.com with the time you voted and express that you will be trying to keep the voting up. If you vote from the same computer each day I'll be able to track you.
If you do any of these things then either send Sturstein a PQ or email me (sammiemery_VD@hotmail.com) and we'll keep track! At the end of the month we'll draw a winner who will either receive a VD T-shirt, or an original piece of VD art from Pete.
As poor artists we are really relying on people like YOU to help us expand and further our webcomic. Please, please, please help us plug away. We will also be putting an acknowledgement page on the main VD site, honouring any and all of those readers who helped promote our comic.
Wildcard - Yep, you're already on the board. Thanks!
SMK - Yeah, we just want to expand our readership. (I think Sammi is trying to dodge a career as a scientist.) We do use Google Analytics, but I probably don't use it to the best advantage :O
Wow, you guys are pretty hard core about this eh? You guys are using Google Analytics, right? Have to think about some of these things, I appreciate artists with ambition.
I sense that Dom is about to witness something nasty here..
Anyhoo, I've got VD down as a recommended at least so I shall definitely reap at least one Ad-token :)
