Nostalgia Sells

Webcomics, as they've come to be known, have reached an important milestone.

They're nostalgic.

Generally, for something to be considered nostalgic, it has to reach an age of 15-20 years old.  Believe it or not, webcomics has reached this important milestone and it could be something that creators can capitalize on if handled correctly.

You often hear the term "perfect storm" thrown about but I feel like this is exceptionally true for webcomic creators in 2023.  More specifically, creators here on GC.

There are numerous things working in our favor...

• The platform has had time to mature to a point where it's stable.
• You've got the activation and proving of monetization techniques and are starting to see the beginnings of acceptance by readers.
• An upcoming mobile app will be launched unlocking potentially thousands of new readers.
• PoD services are planned to come online tapping into that nostalgia of buying webcomic collections in print.

We've never been in a better position to capture the hearts and minds of people who will be looking to scratch that nostalgic itch.

So, just like preparing for a coming winter storm, prepare yourself NOW.  Get your content prepped and ready.  Make your plans for the coming year as to what you'll have to release and what you'll be working on.  While everyone else will be laying around this holiday season, the successful creators next year will be the ones who saw the tide changing and laid their groundwork now.

You only get one shot at this and if you miss the wave, you'll regret it.  Get pumped.  Get busy.  Make it your year.
