Hi, Folks!

I got our Johnny Saturn Cafe Press site integrated with the blog tonight! You can find all fourteen cool items under the Cafe Press Swag page under the Store. My personal favorite is the Johnny Saturn mug, which is quite large and great for my morning (and all day long) coffee. I wore the Johnny Saturn black baseball hat, and several of the shirts, at Wizard World Chicago, and so did Benita–We were stylin! While the store in general is not set up yet, and probably won’t be fully functional until next week, the Cafe Press store is primed and ready to go.

So far, during the set-up and fine tuning of the site, I haven’t advertised. That’s about to change. Johnny Saturn has been running on the web for years, but I used to take the scattershot approach–I hosted the comic in up to four places at once, and I spread myself around various websites, forums, and social networking sites. This time, it’s different, because I’m pulling everything together under this single site. The old business plan worked fine for a long time, but the web changes often, and webcartoonists have to remain flexible. I’ve been doing a webcomic for long enough that at one time or another I’ve probably made every mistake that can be made–luckily, I’ve learned a lot along the way, and done my fair share right things too. I guess it’s time to level-up.

More tomorrow!
