My comment wasn’t meant as an attack, but an example of how aggressive advertising can sometimes backfire.

Of course, everyone has different thresholds of what will turn them away, and for many, it can even depend on what the mood they are on when they encounter the promotion.

So if your methods are working out the way you like, then the more power to you!

Im trying to reach an audience so they can enjoy the comics too. I am aggressive with my promotion but Im not going to be able to build a reader base with the occasional referral. I am proud of what I do and I want to share it with as many people as possible. I read forums every day talking about “Ive been doing my comic for 2 years and I’m up to about 75 regular readers…” Ive been doing my comic for 4 months and Im up to several thousand pageviews a day. Im not bragging. Im just not satisfied with sitting idly by waiting for readers while I put forth all of my effort into making good comics. Its only after you’ve “made it” that others doo all the promotion for you. All that said, I hope you take a 2nd look at Hijinks Ensue at some point. I think it’s funny.
