TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3345: Today, 'Time' has really flown by! Even though I was up at my 'usual' 5 AM schedule, I haven't been able to post a blog. That's because I have so many different projects going on right now... And no, I'm not looking for sympathy, as the New Year of 2011 has started off Grrreat for Tina and myself! Instead, I have been tweaking 'Fan Pages' that I have built for Tina LoSasso's business online, or for her clients, or mine that have requested Facebook Fan Pages either be started from the ground up, or revamped for them. I'm not going to tell you the benefits of having a Facebook Fan Page here. By now, if you are a comics creator, whether for print or webcomics, you know you should have one, especially if you are self-published, or hope to oneday monetize your webcomic! Yet, for several different reasons, most of you don't have one...Yet. Indeed, I've seen several 'Facebook Friends' use their own personal profile pages on Facebook to promote their works. Nothing wrong with that... However, there are several out there, who as 'businesses' / 'comic cons' / etc., are using personal 'profile' pages to invite others on Facebook to be 'their Facebook Friends'. I suggest those of you doing so, to take a look at Facebook's TOS, (terms of service). That is not allowed, and Facebook is starting to 'police' that infraction of their TOS. So that is one more reason for YOU to start a Facebook Fan Page, now! Tina and I have one personal 'profile' page each, plus several 'Fan Pages', and I even have a 'Group Page' in alliance with a virtual comic con on Facebook. Plus the 'maximum' of Facebook Friends an individual's personal profile page can have is 5,000 Friend including whatever number of 'Fan Pages' they like. That is not as hard to max out as you would think it is to do! So here's what I'm going to do. I'm suggesting as I 'tweak' the newest Facebook Fan Pages that either Tina or I 'own', that you follow along with the progress. So today, I'm posting an invite to you to 'Like' one of my 'Fan Pages' by clicking this link to it: Michael D Hamersky On Comics, and follow what I am doing there, as that 'Fan Page' is most compatible to what this blog's main theme is... Comics! Yesterday I added new tabs: 'Shop!', 'Blog', and 'Publicity'. Today, thanks to a Facebook Friend (and 'Fan'), I added on an 'Author' tab. Additionally each of the new tabs that 'warrant' it, now 'greet' the visitor to the tab page, by their name. Yeah, it might be a little 'spooky' to someone coming to the tab page for the first time, but I'm placing the 'greeting' where it isn't so obtrusive. Check it out for yourself, at the 'Like!', 'Shop!', and 'Blog' tabs. There are more 'tweaks' to come. And I'll be sharing them with you at that 'Fan Page' in the days / weeks to come. The nice thing, and also a mild 'irritant' at times for most people, is that nothing stays 'static' on webpages, whether Facebook, or eBay, or other websites that you use! In closing, I want to thank all of you readers that have come to this post, or any of my previous posts. There are many readers that are interested in breaking into the comics 'world', in whatever way they can, either self-published hard copies, webcomics, or work-for-hire individuals for larger publishing companies. And there are many readers who just would like to know what is going on with the comics world, but just from the sidelines as they don't intend to do more than enjoy the output of work and enjoy it. To all of you, I thank you for reading this post, and encourage you to check out what's happening next! (Note: For those of you that want more than just what I have posted here, or at the Fan Page, and wish to inquire about our services, feel free to click the 'Publicity' tab on the Fan Page.) ~Michael D Hamersky
