Hey, so not to be the asshole who registers just to promote his own stuff, but...
Really, though, I'm a big QC fan. I've just never come to the forums. Anyway, I just started a webcomic at:
Cronny.com
I've been reading webcomics with the ambition of creating my own for a long time. I'm trying to avoid what I've identified as the typical pitfalls and cliches of webcomics (knowledge of nerd culture notwithstanding), and I've tried my best to make it stand out. I already have a couple of general story arcs that I'm building towards, with enough room to dick around with that it'll hopefully still feel unconstrained. If you have any input or criticism, I'd love to hear it. Or if you like it and want to link to it from your site, that would also be great.
I have no idea how to get my name out there. I agree that the internet is most definitely a meritocracy, but I think that for webcomics, there's sort of a missing step.
1) Create webcomic
2) Tell your friends
X) Miraculously get lots of hits
3) Start selling t-shirts/Quit your day job
I'm very serious about this thing, but I'm a little bit at a loss as to how to make people aware of it. Jeph, I'm new to the boards, so I have no idea how much you check out threads like these, but if you want to take a look, I'd really appreciate it.

Your sketches are really cute!
Cronny: Just like with any art form, webcomics have to fill a need, if "need" is the word for it. QC is my soap-opera comic, Dinosaur Comics is for the lulz, A Softer World is for the dark lulz, xkcd and Overclocked for the nerd quotient, and so on. Figure out what niche you want to cover with your comic. Of course most webcomics are around for YEARS before they become mega-popular so I wouldn't quit your day job just yet. Seriously it is really hard to support yourself with a web business in this day and age and that has to be even harder when the only "product" you're selling (aside from t-shirts) are your ideas.
(If you do sell t-shirts try to send them out promptly! Wink wink.)
Cronny:
Oh, yeah, for sure. I'm not hoping to becoming an overnight success, I'm just lamenting the missing step in terms of making people even aware of you.
