Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

Posted on December 12, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

2023 has been about me making broadstroke creation moves, playing the long game the key component behind each stroke.

There is a reason I’ve been regularly posting videos to this site despite it being about a writer/artist amlnd books and comics.

There’s a reason behind setting myself up and creating content for various platforms.

There is a reason behind why I constructed Patreon 2.0 as I did.

The list goes on.

What you’ve been seeing on this site over the past year are groundwork foundation-laying moves that will aid 2024. You can’t build a house on sand. You need concrete.

This is PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 and it’s working.

Every action I take, and as I’ve mention in my newsletter, are meant to help Future Me along with Future Works which, in turn, help Future You, dear reader.

A lot of PROJECT REBUILD 1.0 was more theory-based and planning-based versus actual execution of the theory. PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 has been the execution of 1.0.

As I state in the below video, there is method to the madness.

vLog – Method to the Madness

2024 is looking to be a fairly big year self-publishing-wise. Lots of titles, so at present I’m mentally mapping out the year in terms of how to release everything and when.

But that’s 2024 and we’re not there yet.

2023 will continue, and finish, as it has been thus far.

A new content schedule will be created for 2024, but as of now, this schedule will remain.

Thanks for tuning in this year.

More to come.

Peace.

Realm of Heroes and Monsters YouTube Playlist Curation

As my YouTube channel begins to grow, at this present stage I’ve come to a point where I had to adjust my playlists to keep things more ogranized for those who view and/or follow playlists.

There are the news ones I created and organized. I have plans to tweak and adjust some more, but this is my start:

Hot Wheels Batman Batmobile Playlist

Funko Pop! Collection

Hot Wheels Shorts and Reels

Patron-exclusive Videos

Promotional Videos

Superman Collectible Shorts and Reels

My Top Videos!

So as you can see, 5 lists were created to better sort the channel which makes for easier navigation.

Feel free to explore the above and don’t forget to subscribe to the Realm of Heroes and Monsters on YouTube. Helps keep the book and comic machine going.

Peace.

Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

Posted on November 9, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

It is true.

It is time.

Patreon 2.0 launches this November 13. I’m aiming to premiere the trailer Sunday evening then do a full-blast posting Monday to launch the page and invite one and all into the PATREON REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS.

There are two tiers and they’ll be displayed in full on launch day, but to sum them up, they are:

Tip Jar: $1. Just a general tip to help me along in the art world with my deepest thanks.

All-Access: $5. For just five bucks a month you get everything content that I put on the Web plus the following just for you:

Artwork only revealed here. Nowhere else. Public art is here.

Learn what goes on behind the scenes in bringing you books, comics, art, podcasts, videos, and more. (This is stuff I don’t talk about or show openly.)

Entertaining and/or informative videos made only for patrons.

It began with GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE and continues with TWO other running serials.

Photos taken EXCLUSIVELY for this page. Sometimes I add my own sparkle, other times not, but they’re always interesting.

Quick little notes or did-you-knows just for you.

Usually bits of info that are hopefully insightful or useful.

For those interested in the craft of storytelling through various mediums, both the creative side and the business side.

Like the Quick Notes, these are intended to be helpful.

And there you have it. If you were a previous patron, you know I always deliver content on time without excuse. As well, if you were a part of Patreon 1.0, please get in touch.

Status Report – 110723

Posted on November 7, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Status Report – 110723:

Patreon. That is this week’s focus. The trailer is done and is premiering at 7PM CST November 12, 2023 (this Sunday evening) on YouTube.

There are so many cool things about this new page and as a creator I get to play around with every single one of them.

I plan to send out THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION as usual this Saturday then a special Patreon Announcement edition on November 13, 2023. Might want to subscribe to make sure you get it.

As well, promotion continues for ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY. I placed an order with the printer over the weekend so in the next couple weeks or so there will be an unboxing video revealing it as well as the two new collected editions of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION and a couple other titles I need some stock for.

Watch this space, as they say.

But it’d be better if you subscribed. For a creator, a subscription to something they do is important. It helps in so many ways on so many levels and, best of all, it’s free. Costs you nothing other than a click.

I should probably put out a list of free things readers and fans can do for their favorite creators for free. I know money’s tight for everybody these days and I know there are a lot of readers and supporters out there who would like to try a creator’s work but can’t for whatever reason. That’s understandable and totally valid.

So, yeah, if you can do something for a creator that doesn’t cost you a cent, take the second or two and go ahead and do it. The support is still there, and in the arts, as cliche as it sounds, it’s not always about the money. Art is meant to be shared. Creators just ask money for it so they can buy the time they need to make it for you.

All right, enough rambling. Time to get back to work.

This has been your Status Report for 110723.

Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

Posted on October 31, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

ZOMTROPOLIS is gonna be out soon and then I’ll be neck-deep in THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA writing three books for that before releasing them so my readers know for certain the story arc I’ll be doing will done and complete in 2024.

I’ve been picking away at CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS for years. It’s a poetry book, my fourth thus far. Poems about life, observation, some feelings. Trying something new with my poetry style. I think what’s going to end up happening is I’ll be airing CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS at Patreon 2.0 as in-between book, a pre-online publication alongside ZOMTROPOLIS, which is being serialized there.

All really depends how much I have to say because poetry is about saying something, hopefully something with meaning and some sort of impact.

We’ll see.

In the interim, STILL ABOUT A GIRL is coming back out so you can get your poetry fix through that in the meantime.

Patreon 2.0 Update

Posted on October 25, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Patreon 2.0 Update

Patreon 2.0 is coming along. You should see the new layout, the new features, the new coolness of it all. I’m working hard to get things ready for you and to entertain you when you become a patron. The page is still a work-in-progress at this point with no official launch date. However, at the rate things are going, it’ll be soon-ish.

Just keep checking back here at the blog for an announcement as well as on all the socials.

Like they say, stay tuned . . .

The Great Patreon Dilemma

Posted on September 27, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

The Great Patreon Dilemma

As you know, I once had a Patreon page. With it, I’d air articles and essays, behind-the-scenes stuff, serialized novels, and exclusive stuff for my patrons. The problem was, for the amount of work I was putting in, it didn’t do well monetarily, so I shut it down as I was basically making a buck an hour working on it.

However, and in a bit of a dilemma, I’m thinking of bringing my Patreon page back but under a new, simpler model.

It would basically be this to start and, no doubt, would evolve over time.

Two tiers:

1) A mere tip jar for a buck. Just a simple way of saying thanks for all the content.

2) 5 bucks flat fee per month. This would get you everything I share publicly plus content just for patrons, like a serialized novel, one to be read before anybody else.

That’s it. The content would be regular as I’m producing stuff all the time, but by sharing it behind a Patreon paywall, then I get something out of it too, and also have an avenue to share stuff I don’t share with the general public. This could be special videos, special commentary, special thoughts, excerpts of my work, and more.

I still have my page but it’s inactive at the moment. I just need to flick the switch and under this new model, folks would have a chance to check out all the back-content plus the new stuff to come.

It’s not a question of if this will happen. It’s a question of when.

My only fear is it’ll flop again. But maybe not. I do know I can make it work. Just need to give it some time to grow.

We’ll see.

Patreon Future?

Posted on September 7, 2022 11:15 am by A.P. Fuchs

I started a Patreon a few years back and stuck with it for quite some time. Unfortunately, it wasn’t financially viable and I had to shut it down. (Too much work for not enough return.) But I’ve been thinking of reviving it in the distant future, the idea being there’s one flat monthly fee and you’ll receive content Monday to Friday. Could be an essay or article, a short story or piece of flash fiction, comics, behind the scenes, a blog post–pretty much anything of interest to the Realm of Heroes and Monsters.

I’ve yet to come up with a business plan for it but this is an idea I’ve had noodling around in my head for quite some time. Hopefully there would be enough interest in the endeavor to make it worth our time together.

We’ll see what the future holds.
