Ads for profit, broskis. Spacewhale is boss.
Ok, Jasp, since I'm a lazy arse. I'm going to give you a comic right on the spot. [img]http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu119/ryanwarguy/Hellatherapyandsweetpatient.jpg[/img] Consider it a donation to the website. I'm not interested in your $300.
Seriously Jasper, you will not make money solely on donations.
You do know you can set up AdSense for free, right? I used it back in August when the Blogspot click-ring was popular.
Jasper, if you're to listen to any advice, please let it be about the advertisements. You and your brother definitely took a step in the right direction, don't let it stop now.

First of all, thank you so much for all the kind words about my new project. It means the world to me. A few things I want to address: Some of you asked where in the world my big brother and I are getting the money necessary for this project. Well, it is simple. While it's true that I am jobless and we are just about broke, my uncle Rick is a fan of our creative spirit, and was gracious enough to lend us some buckaroos. Many of you have suggested that I integrate advertising on Potluck Comics. The truth of the matter is that Potluck Comics is my passion project, and neither my brother nor I are willing to allow ads to distract from the amazing art being submitted. This site is not about us. It’s about showcasing the talented people that contribute to it. Alaskan Wolf suggested that we ensure that we never publish content that is not original. My brother and I agree 110%. It is of the utmost importance to us that only original comics are showcased. We will do everything in our power to ensure this. I also want to restate that Spicy Tornado is not over. In fact, it is just getting started. Expect new creations from us in the coming days. Lastly, I’d love to encourage you fine folk to submit some creations. As of now, we have received very few submissions. Four prizes will be awarded at the end of the month no matter what. The bottom line is that if we publish your comic, your odds of winning are not too shabby. Sincerely, Jasper

You arent gonna get money off of your family forever...
Ok. "Put ads on your site" doesn't mean "you are so unsuccessful that you must put ads on your site HAHAHAH!" No, ads means making money. It's a basic rule. Without ads you aren't making any money. You don't make a few comics then magically get money from the air for effort. Putting ads on your site means you will get revenue. The whole "we love ART lalala" is cool but you aren't actually making money because there's no place where the money is being gathered.

Also, advertising on a site is a GOOD thing. It'll give you enough money to continue the site, with lots of money to spare, if the comics are good. There is literally NOTHING to loose as far as putting up advertisements.
In other News, the new potluck comic is pretty good. Also, Jasper. I'll draw up where you could put some non-intrusive ads. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Untitled297.png[/img] Slightly larger then expected. Hidden southpark reference BTW.
Jasper. This idea is... ...just awesome. Ads though, man! No ads means no money to pay for the site hosting and no money to pay for the site hosting means no site and I think you get the idea now.

You won't put up ads because "WAHD IT SMY PASSIOON PROJECTq1!!!!!1" You are starting that HORRIBLE web comic back up. You are an inbred fuckwit. Have fun losing all your money and seeing your websites fall! :derp: [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming" - Swebonny))[/highlight]
You are retarded. Seriously. (not you Japser, your awesome)
[QUOTE=The Aussie;30378858]You are retarded. Seriously. (not you Japser, your awesome)[/QUOTE] No, he is fairly dense to for refusing to stick even a small advert on his website. Anybody with half a brain cell can work out you need money to run a website. Leeching off your family just isn't cool (especially when you are "20" or older).
[QUOTE=The Aussie;30378858]You are retarded. Seriously. (not you Japser, your awesome)[/QUOTE] Yep. Everyone loves the man who quit his job for a webcomic but refuses to advertise on his site! He must be some sort of Hero!
Noone is going to blame you for advertising or think any less of the site because of the fact that you advertise. All fucking sites advertise. That's the rule to making some bloody money. Seriously stop mooching off your family.
So, I'm checking back in this thread after a good month or so. And now, instead of making fun of the guy, we are helping him and advising him. We are finally doing what's right. Godspeed, facepunch.

[editline]11th June 2011[/editline] I don't see how this one got in, it's pretty bad. [img]http://potluckcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/mean-doctor1.gif[/img]
[QUOTE=Mr.SpicyTornado;30356091]Only this time we will not create any of the comics (which may be a relief to some of you Negative Nathans).[/QUOTE] you still can't handle people saying your website is shit. you will not suceed in life if you do not understand how to take criticism. this is why my opinion of you has gone only 15% up.
So Jasper, tell us, How do you plan to make money off this Passion Project? Or does your uncle have a bottomless supply of cash.
Why is this back? ignore the troll and let him die.
[QUOTE=The BoxDog;30381767]Why is this back? ignore the troll and let him die.[/QUOTE] now that he's made a decent website with a decent concept I don't really see how he could be a troll
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/alien3.png[/img] my submission 4 potluck comix
I'm not sure what I'm reading. It's almost too bizarre to be real.
Is this thread still alive? I still read Jasper's comments in Kenneth's voice.
Jasper, I loved your idea and all but MAN, get some ADS, seriously, you must give back to your uncle, you know, he kickstarts you up with some "buckaroos" you make some cash and give it back to Uncle Rick, I'm starting to feel bad for him. It's like you don't exactly reason completely about this, how about hosting fees or domain name renewals or whatever?
