Ngomik.com Releases Premium Comics Can Be Purchased With Credit Cuts

Ngomik.com today officially released premium comics that can be purchased by comic fans directly from their site.

Ngomik.com is a service that provides facilities for comic artists to display their works and be read by comic lovers. Previously the existing comics could be read for free, now apart from free comics they also provide premium comics that can be purchased by comic lovers. Ngomik also provides various other facilities to foster their community, such as the Mural feature.

For premium comics the mechanics run by Ngomik.com is to make a selection from the submissions of comic artists, if the comics submitted have passed the selection and meet the quality standards of the editorial team, these comics can later be displayed and purchased by readers. There are two payment mechanisms that you can choose from, the first is a deposit by transferring to Ngomik.com and the second is a credit cut facility.

The following is an explanation from Ngomik.com for these two payment facilities that I quoted from the official release by email:

Deposit by transferring to ngomik.com. After the transfer process is complete, the user's deposit balance will increase and can be used to buy premium comics. Meanwhile, for the process of purchasing premium comics using credit cut, the user must first enter a number handphone (currently customer only Telkomsel). After that the user must verify by sending an sms 'ngomik ver' to 9296. Then the user will get a reply sms in the form of an activation code. The user then enters the activation code on the page profile-his. Once a user has a number handphone Once verified, users can buy premium comics and their credit will automatically be deducted. This mechanism is expected to be accepted in the Indonesian market considering the large number of users handphone making it easier to buy comics.

For revenue sharing, the Ngomik.com divides it with a 60:40 system (60% for Komikus and 40% for Ngomik.com), but in the explanation via Email, this distribution is done after deducting the costs involving third parties, which means the revenue sharing is done after deducting the costs from the operator. It could be that there is a difference in the distribution portion between the deposit method and credit cut, in addition, the distribution portion with credit cut can change with special negotiations.

Ngomik also provides facilities dashboards for the comic artists who sell their comics, dashboards This will display data from the sales of comics that they upload and sell on Ngomik.com.

As written in DailySocial previously, this has indeed been prepared by Ngomik.com and of course can be a source of income for them, even though the price of comics is quite cheap, around Rp. 1000, but in its development it can become an opportunity in itself, especially if the sales are in large quantities and the comic editions are carried out continuously (at the time of writing, the highest sales of comics amounted to 159 with a price of 1.000 rupiah).

In addition to releasing comic sales and its payment system, Ngomik.com has also made several improvements to existing features, such as the Mural facility, which now provides users with the facility to modify the appearance of the mural on their profile by changing the background color or replacing it with certain images. that user can mention other users, similar to what can be done on Twitter.

Cooperation between publishers through facilities publisher preview has also produced two publishers who have joined this facility at Ngomik.com, the two publishers are Gramedia (Koloni) and Mizan (Koin).

Along with some of these updates, the display mobile devices Ngomik also underwent improvements. Then what about buying comics via mobile devices? Ngomik.com explained that now, in addition to improving the premium comic facilities on the web, they will also make changes to the latest version for mobile web.

An interesting new facility from Ngomik.com which now has 2.043 comics on their site and 5.623 active users. They just need to provide quality and interesting comics to sell, moreover services like Ngomik.com are not the only ones. Komikoo also provides premium facilities but with a different method different.
