Congrats on the sales! Will you finally be able to take that trip you've been dreaming of?
Don't spend it all in one place guys.
Seriously though it's a pretty neat idea
Nice read.
I think Newgrounds could benefit from something like allowing people to purchase the source files for a price if an author uploads them.
I think you could definitely sell more if you showcased a preview of what you have to offer and upped on the salespitch.
I have learned a lot just by watching other peoples videos frame for frame. So getting into the source file would honestly be a great benefit for people who have those kinds of interests. It's not like 2 bucks is a huge risk, so that's not the dealbreaker. Your safest bet is to take away any doubt and stress it's worth to potential buyers.
I haven't bought it, but I would gladly pay for that if I knew a little more about what i could be expecting. I could even see myself buying this type of stuff regularly and the bundling would be a good idea if you decided to do this more often.
I think in the future instead of linking right to the paypal page I should have my own page that tells you what you're buying. Maybe then I could implement the name your price thing, too, since it wouldn't be going straight to the paypal form, which I have no control over.
It comes with the flash file for peck and what's pretty much a video-recorded skype call of me and bob talking about the cartoon. Maybe next time I'll have a preview video or something, but I don't want to get too heavy into the sales pitch stuff - I'd hate to come off like a "buy my t-shirts" guy. I'm kinda hoping the people who want it will see the value in buying it without me having to push it on them, but I guess some people don't know what to expect so that would probably be for the better.
Well I bought it but I'm straight up patronizing you. The material in the package is really cool and I think it's so great to offer it, but I'm a sorta standard lunkhead and to be honest I probably won't ever even properly look at most of it. That being said, if it were up to five dollars I would have still bought it. Two dollars to support however is an undeniably easy choice. The only thing I think would be a cool addition to the digital package would be a wallpaper. That's all I got.
When it comes to stuff I usually buy to support the creator, me personally? Mostly T-Shirts. Doesn't even need to be an amazing design or anything. A simple logo is often plenty enough for me. Not saying this as a suggestion per se, just feedback for what I find I do as a pretty basic consumer.
Amazing work on Peck, thanks so much for all you guys put into it!
That's a pretty great idea! I know less people nowadays see the value in downloading or having an offline version of a video but it's a great thing to have if say for example you wanted to watch it on the go on a phone or laptop without internet connection. I think i'il definitely give this a buy, Peck made me laugh harder than anything had in a long time! Hope it becomes a huge hit.
To clarify - this isn't a video download of peck, you're getting the actual .FLA file to pull apart and examine in flash. I guess it should actually come with the video, though! I'll probably update that.
Thanks for the kind words!
Did you give Bob the money
I told you no!!!!
I will.
Don't. No bucks for bob.
I'll take that in Peck Dollars to go
If I find out Bob got a cent of my h. e. $ I'm gonna have to unsub.
dig that you're trying to find ways around ad money bullshit. selling something is definitely a solid route to go, and i like that what your selling is something that's actually relevant to the project/other creators instead of coffee mugs with a quote.
i know this was just a test, but i feel like you could definitely charge more. 10 bucks would be a pretty reasonable price that would also allow you to make bundles later on for like half price or something. the biggest hurdle is getting people to be willing to type in their credit card at all, once they've done that the difference between 2 and 10 bucks isn't anything. seems like you're still on the iffy side of charging people money, so maybe you could justify that charge to yourself if you included more process stuff? pre-pro sketches/boards/all that junk might add more value without extra work on your part.
Will the fla still be available in a week when i get paid? And what version is it. Great toon anyway guys
CC 2015, but it's backwards compatible to at least cs6. Possibly works on earlier versions, but I know for certain it doesn't open in cs3. I can try and dig up more info on that if you want. Or you could just buy it and I'll refund you the money if it doesn't work.
It'll be up for two months at least. At that point I'll be able to judge if it's worth keeping up
Wow, thanks for this detailed information, that's exactly what I was looking for
Bought myself a little Peck.zip file, I am extremely proud.
Emrox
I haven't given bob any of the money
