Finding Resources for Content Marketing with a Difference?

[Silkstream]

We have been creating written content for a client over the last year with great success. Locating websites across the internet to publish our articles was not difficult, just a little time consuming.

Now we have decided to take this a step further by creating a comic strip for the same client. The only problem is, we are having great difficulty finding a site that would be suitable for publishing this content.

Its not an infographic, or slideshow, or video and its not a written article.

The usual search operators are no good as this is our first attempt and REAL comic geeks are so serious about the art im scared we'd be pulled apart.

Does anyone know of any resources which would publish this type of visual content?

Thanks for your help!

In my opinion, something like a comic strip where I am going into it knowing I will be investing significant time or resources to it, I would publish it on my own website and use social media to push it out to the people who have already shown interest in my stuff.  You are far more likely to gain a positive response from these people, who might in turn share and publish it on their own.

Out of curiosity, what is the subject matter of the strip?

Also, love the creativity!

Hi Hayley

I'm not sure if this is of any help:

Have you thought about putting it into a Powerpoint and hosting it through Slideshare?

Hope you are able to find the right place for the comic - it sounds like a really interesting idea!

If I was doing this, I would find the site where I wanted visibility FIRST.

Then create content that would kickass for them.

Pick where you want to be visible for the best results.

Begin with the end in mind.

Thanks Oliver. That first article is the kind of advice i was looking for!Funnily enough, i did have the slideshare idea, and think that will be a great secondary strategy to get the most from the content and a way to market the original content.

George, this is what my gut instinct is telling me to do. It makes sense and if it works we can turn it into a series. If i choose to do this, do you feel we should provide an embed code like we would with an infographic? If so, any idea what would be the best practice for the backlink?

EGOL,  yeah...I kinda got a bit over excited about the idea. But now i have a list of comic sites that publish im feeling inspired to try this again in a more serious manner. And ive learned a valuable lesson.

Cheers everyone!
