Dude! Where’s the Email Signup Box?

We TOLD you we were new at this.

A few of you have emailed us (probably didn’t want to embarrass us with a public comment) asking where the Email Signup Box was.  Some of you wondered if we were even considering a Newletter or not.

Well, yes, we’ve planned all along to have a Newsletter, email updates and — even a surprise or two that I mention below.  But with our excitement over the new blog… 

To tell you the truth — we just forgot about it.

EMAIL SIGNUPS — DO IT NOW! 

Okay, if you will look up to the top left side of this blog you will see the EMAIL SIGNUP BOX.  It’s a little on the Homely side — but it’s very simple to use and get signed up — just enter you name and email address and you are all set.

That’s all there is to it.

WHY SHOULD I SIGN UP?  WHAT ARE YOU GONNA SEND ME?

First off, let’s talk about what we are NOT going to send you.  Most of you guys know Scott or Gregg.  Those two are working with Paul and Mark so you know that we’re okay guys, too. 

So you know we are NEVER going to send you spam.  We also are NEVER going to Sell, Give Away or Trade your email address with anyone, ever. 

But we’ll even go one step further.  Our business plan calls for us to make money from advertising (thus giving you the content for free!) — but we will NEVER place an outside ad on this particular Newsletter.  Ever.  You can feel safe opening it each time knowing that you will enjoy the contents.

OKAY, THAT’S GOOD.  BUT WHAT CONTENTS?  WHAT ARE YOU GONNA SEND ME?

Glad you asked.

Addictive Comics has a very ambitious and agressive plan for our webcomics.  Yes, we are gonna start out REAL slowly and make sure we do it right, but very soon we plan to be offering many different comics, by many different writers in many different styles and genres.  Not to mention all the blogs, forums and additional sites we have planned.  

You won’t be able to keep up with everything without a Scorecard.

The Newsletter is your Scorecard.

Each week we’ll tell you what new with you favorites and what you should check out.  We’ll let you in on the new additions to the family and tell you where to get even more of the good stuff.

BUT, YOU EXPECTED THAT, RIGHT?  HOW ABOUT THIS — ?  

We know the value of a Newsletter for helping us stay in touch with our readers (the web is a big place and we are all very busy.  We wouldn’t want you to forget us.)  So we are totally committed to making it stupid NOT to join. 

Expect Newsletter-Only content and promotions such as extra comic pages, additional artwork, new stories and even Newletter-Only products and discounts on those products. 

AND ONE VERY SPECIAL PLAN

We are also planning a Full Color, Downloadable ADDICTIVE COMICS MAGAZINE!

ADDICTIVE COMICS MAGAZINE will include Articles Artwork, Interviews, Short Stories, Photos and even EXCLUSIVE MAGAZINE-ONLY comic stories that you won’t see anywhere else. 

It will be available only to Newsletter subscribers for the low, LOW price of FREE!

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  SUBSCRIBE TODAY!

Sorry, we got carried away and lapsed into informercial-speak. 

But really it IS a great deal.  It costs you zip and your gonna enjoy it.  What’s not to love?

Enter you name and email right now before you forget and we’ll see you soon.

Scott & Mark

Note — the magazine is not part of the newsletter and will include advertising.

The sign-up box is missing again…

Mark Hester @ 12:52 pm

Thank you, Doc. for the head’s up. It is not us this time (Thank Goodness) but or service — The usually 100% reliable, Aweber. I hope it’s nothing serious.

In the meantime, I have written a quick post to explain.

Where is the signup box? I tried to sign up, but it brought me to a “New Talent search” page that didn’t seem to have anything to do with the newsletter… Thanks!

Mark Hester @ 12:40 pm

Hey Brad,

Not sure exactly what might have happened. I just checked and it seems to be working.

I do know that on some browsers (XP in particular) the signup box moves to the very bottom of the left hand column sometimes. Maybe it is there.

Anyone who is having trouble with the Signup Box — or ANYTHING ELSE — Please let us know so we can help you and correct it.

Thank you, Brad. I will keep an eye out for you address.

I see the problem… The email signup is not appearing at all when using Firefox. I went to the same page with I.E. and was able to signup.

Win XP
Firefox 3 - no signup present
Internet Explorer 7 - Signup present

And now I really see the issue… AdBlock Plus in Firefox kills off the forms.aweber.com script. So, your more privacy sensitive viewers have no shot at seeing the signup form.
