Business Proposals ( Last Updated: May 14th, 2009 )
Though I'm wary of their intentions, and have yet to accept one, I have received quite a few
business proposals over the years. But, more often than not the proposals I receive are just
modified affiliate agreements that require me to dedicate portions of my site to the HOPE
that my readers will buy goods, services, games, etc. Though some have asked about outright
investment in the site/comic itself. Unfortunately, I'm not so much a businessman as I am an
artist with a good head for business. Yes, there's a difference. So I can't really write up
the kind of documentation required to handle direct investment and return.
That being said, what I can offer is the opporunity to invest in specific GU projects. The idea here is simple. Interested parties will invest enough money to get a project moving, and once the result is available for sale to the GU readership, the investors will receive an agreed upon portion of each sale equal to a relative portion of thier investment plus profit. (investment / units + % of profit) If you are interested in these or having something else in mind, please don't hesitate to contact me at: business@gucomics.com. Project #1: GU Books
Readers have been asking for a GU Book for years now, and I've just not found a company that
can produce them at a quality level that justified the expense. The quotes on bringing this
project to bear have ranged from $7,000 to over $20,000.
If you're interested in this proposal, email me at: business@gucomics.com Project #2: The Ted Figurine
I love toys, so of course I'm eager to make GU play things. One of the items I have researched
is a 6 to 8 inch Ted figurine made by Gensen.
Unfortunately, I can't get a quote on mass production until the prototype is made. The cost of
producing the prototype is $660 for the 6 inch figurine or $770 for the 8 inch figurine. Because
the cost of prototyping is not a profittable endeavor, this cost would be absorbed by GU as
soon as possible, or rolled into the return profit percentage once the figurine is made available.
