Social Media Hot Seat: MeatShield, A La Mode and Johnny Saturn

For this round of Hot Seat critiques, I wanted to focus on social media. I attribute a huge portion of the success I had with my recent Kickstarter on the effect of social media. It's how information gets passed around, and I think it's worth spending a little time discussing.

So here's the three criteria I focused on:

  • How easy was it to ascertain the social-media presence of the comic/creator?
  • How easy was it was to share links to the content on social media.
  • Did the main social-media feed of the creator feature a good ratio of content to commercial? 

I gave each a score on a five-star scale, five stars representing the best possible outcome.

As always, this is just the beginning of the discussion. Members are encouraged to take this as a jumping-off point to a deeper discussion of the topic.
