Re: My 8-part comic miniseries is gone
I'm just trying to check my comic series to see if I've set it up right. There are 8 books in the series, and I'm wondering if, when a reader reads one, it links to the next book in the series. I don't know if it does that, so I'm scrolling through all the comics available on the site, by category, hoping to be able to see my books as a reader would, so I can make sure it links like I hope it does. The disturbing part is that, no matter what search parameters I set, I never see it. I get to the bottom, where it says there's no more content, and my books never appeared. I have yet to see them on the lists.
Re: My 8-part comic miniseries is gone
Thanks! I'll check again.
My 8-part comic miniseries is gone
About a month ago I spent a week posting my 8-part series "Dei Umbra: The Shadow of God" on Globalcomix. Today I went to check on it to see how it's doing, and it's gone.
It's still right there in my creator pages, so I thought I might have posted it incorrectly. I scrolled through all the creator-posted comix available for reading on the site, and it's not there. My analytics page says 2 people looked at it a month ago when I first posted it, so it was live then. Now it's gone.
Can anybody tell me what happened to it?

Re: Setting prices...?
Okay, I watched a video on Youtube and learned how to find the monetization settings. I made the changes ArtCrumbs suggested. Maybe I'll be able to figure out how the rest of it works on my own. Thanks again for your help!
Re: Setting prices...?
Another fun thing happened... As I was stumbling around the website trying to figure out how to sign in, I found a page where you sign up to pay $7.99 per month to read the site's comics. I thought maybe if I started there, I would be allowed to login as a creator, so I signed up, and agreed to pay the $7.99. The next time I ran across this page in my search, I discovered I'd been assigned the login name of HasteningPilot. Either that, or I had bought a subscription for some guy named HasteningPilot. But I just saw a page called "subscriptions" and it said I had the "free" plan, so maybe I didn't subscribe HasteningPilot to anything after all. Who knows? Sure could use some guidance here.
Re: Setting prices...?
Absolutely! Please, I've been groping around for days trying to find the pages I need. Thanks again for taking the time!
Re: Setting prices...?
Oh, one more question: At one point, as I was wandering the maze, there was a page called "Authorization", and it had an option to change one's password. But I haven't found a page on which to enter a password, so I have none, and the Authorization page had no other links. I've lost it again, but what I really need is some way to, I guess, sign in...?
Re: Setting prices...?
Thank you, ArtCrumbs! I swear if I ever find that page with the monetization settings on it again, I will apply the settings you have recommended. This site is a maze.
I would like to know, now that there's someone to ask, how and at what rate the creator (me) gets paid when someone paying a monthly fee for access to everything reads one of my comics? Is it some convoluted algorithm, is that why it never gets mentioned? Or is it just too embarrassingly small?
Thank you for your help!

Setting prices...?
I'm having trouble understanding this system. I have an 8-issue limited series. I set the PDF download price at 2.99 per issue/release/chapter. Instead of a 10-page preview, I want to make the first release free, and charge for each of the other 7. I chose "Custom first release free and 0 last releases." I guess it works, it seems to be free to read but costs 2.99 to download.
I am now preparing the second release, and on the editing page every page says "free." I don't want to give away the whole series, I'm trying to monetize it. How does this work?
