Creator Guide - General

After you have prepared your page, now continue reading the following general guide! This will help you understand more about how to effectively use KaryaKarsa and maximize your experience as a creato

Types of Works that can be offered on KaryaKarsa

You can offer or sell any type of work on KaryaKarsa. Whether it's weekly comics/comic strips, tutorials, cover songs, audio podcasts, short stories, novels, and much more. For specific explanations, read the following guides.

The works offered should ideally be in digital format. However, if you have physical works, such as books, merchandise, etc., you can still offer them. Just keep in mind that there is no shipping option available on KaryaKarsa, so you will need to handle the shipping manually.

💡 Tips!

The works you sell do not need to be heavy or lengthy. Most supporters prefer works that are like "snacks," meaning they are light and short but functional, consistent, and can be addictive.

Setting Prices

In KaryaKarsa, you can offer your works in two ways: individual sales and bundles. Additionally, you can also activate tips.

• Individual sales

In your work post, the individual price you have set will appear as a blue price button. (See the example in the image below). This price can be set in the "options" menu that appears every time you upload your work.

For more details about setting individual prices, you can read in the Creator Dashboard Guide.

• Bundles

Bundles are a way to offer multiple works in a single transaction. You can think of a bundles as a box for several of your works. In your work post, the package price will appear as a red price button. (See the example in the image below).

✅ Update

Since 1 November 2021, bundles be set for 30-day access or "lifetime" access.

You can set the bundle price in the "Bundles" menu on the dashboard. For more details about setting individual prices and managing bundles, you can read in the Creator Dashboard Guide.

The two ways to offer your works are designed to provide more options for your supporters.

For example, if you publish a comic or serialized story every week, supporters can choose whether to buy individual episodes or purchase a bundle after several episodes have been uploaded.

Types Of Bundles That Can Be Offered

If you have read the "Getting Started" guide, you should already know that there are templates that you can automatically use.

Although there are only 6 fields available, you can edit the template afterward. For more details on how to edit packages, you can read in the Creator Dashboard Guide.

Here are 5 Recommended Types of Packages You Can Offer to Supporters:

1. Exclusive Content and Content Windowing:

   • Creators provide content that is not available elsewhere or that will be published elsewhere but is released on KaryaKarsa first.

2. Behind The Scenes/Work In Progress:

   • Creators share working files (e.g., unflattened PSD files) or showcase their creative process (e.g., speed drawing videos).

3. Exclusive Access

   • Creators offer exclusive access for interaction (direct communication, phone calls, emails, chats, video calls, or private meetings).

4. Personalisation:

   • Creators mention the names of supporters within their works, adding a personal touch.

5. Sale of Works

   • This can involve ordering specific works in a certain quantity, allowing supporters to request custom pieces.

By offering these types of offerings, you can create a more engaging experience for your supporters and encourage them to invest in your work!

Examples:

Nyne Comics offers early access for the lowest package, for those who want to read the comic before it is published on social media.

REVINATVT offers exclusive writings only available on KaryaKarsa, like short stories sold as individual work, or educational essays about law offered through a subscription bundle.

Whoamel offers head shot illustrations of provided photos at Rp 100 thousand, limited to 10 people per order period.

For bundle pricing, you can offer at three price variations, for example starting with the most expensive:

Package A [Price: Rp 200.000]. Contents of bundle:

The configurations above are merely an example, and you can arrange them as you like. For another good example, you can visit the page of Bagus Tri Cahyono.

Promote your Work!

It is important to remember that KaryaKarsa does not provide supporters for you. Therefore, you must actively promote your works across various social media platforms. Here are some promotional recommendations from KaryaKarsa:

Promotion Recommendations:

1. Link in Bio:

   • Place your KaryaKarsa link in the bio of your social media accounts. The format should always be: karyakarsa.com/USERNAME.

2. Consistent Promotion:

   • Promote your works regularly and consistently. Align your promotions with your release schedule, whether weekly or monthly. Supporters will appreciate regular updates on your works.

3. Teasers on Social Media:

   • Share teasers on your social media. For example, you can look at how KALAWIRA does it. Additionally, you can share snippets of your work that pique your followers' curiosity, similar to what Kostum Komik does.

Insights on Supporter Growth:

• Data from KaryaKarsa shows that the conversion rate of visitors to supporters increases 2 to 3 times in the second and third months. This indicates that the process of offering your works organically takes time.

• Allow sufficient time for potential supporters to get to know you. They may be observing your first, second, and third works, but after that, they may become loyal supporters.

Case Studies:

• Data also indicates that after reaching 100 supporters, there is typically a significant growth in sales. For example:

  • Nyne Comics took 3 weeks to gain 100 supporters, but in the following 3 weeks, their supporters reached 500!

  • Kartunesia took 7 weeks to reach 100 supporters, but within the next week, they surpassed 200+ supporters.

By following these promotional strategies and being patient, you can build a loyal supporter base and see significant growth in your works over time!

Still Working It Out?

Feel free to experiment with the settings; over time, you will become familiar with how everything works. You can also take inspiration from the settings of other creators, including how they market their works.

Example of effective promotion: Damar Indra: He conducted polls on Twitter to gather feedback and insights, which proved to be valuable for the development of his work sales.
