Se Acuerdan de Regla Uno: No griping. Take your beef elsewhere, preferably to the McDonald's. They could use it. I could be much more rude here but I won't because I try to be a gentleman. Hard as it is at times.

This can be somewhat controversial, but since it's basically an ad-supported art CD, why not?
1. Join a paid image host, such as this one.
2. Upload a preview of an image/comic to your various sites.
3. Have it link to the paid image host landing page for it. Each time it is viewed you will receive cash.
4. If you have them go through a Linkbucks first, this is particularly profitable and can essentially double your revenue per click to as much as 6 USD per 1000 views.
My methods:
I understand the process can be a bit controversial(granted I ignore most of it because I see no issue with someone collecting cash for their work, especially for free), but I have a few standard rules I use:
-I use banner ads for single images. It doesn't sit right with me to make intermissions for single images. Comics are fair game for intermissions.
-I use the side banner because it makes 12.5% more than the top banner, if a bit more ugly.
-I put my click jar URL at the top of each description for free images.
I hope this has been helpful! =]

Just always hated the idea of paying for images. Would much rather pay for a commission that actually has my character in it~
