Things like ad sales and donations tend to be secondary sources of income, although obvious there are exception. Collections - Obvious enough. You either do a print run or you a Print On Demand service like Lulu when people order. These days, you can also do ebooks and have them available on itunes and the like. Merchandise - Like collections, you can either do it yourself, or you can a CafePress type service to fulfill the orders, or a mix of both. Tee Shirts and the like seem to be the order of the day, but also mugs, shotglasses, buttons and whatever. Ads - Some webcomics do their ad arrangements, but the usual thing in webcomics is Project Wonderful, an Adsense type thing geared towards comics. Some of the big performers actually make decent scratch from it. Last time I look getting a banner on Girl Genius was something like twenty five bucks a day, and they have a bunch of spaces. Donations - Or you can just ask people for money. A lot of people give their readers some kind of gift like a wallpaper or whatnot, but having a tip jar is pretty common. You can see a good mix of techniques at Girls With Slingshots - Girls with Slingshots: Two girls, a bar, and a talking cactus, five times a week! - where Danielle Corsetto does all of the above. Or my webcomic, for very little monetization - The Assignment 01 • R&R Publications [...] [...] Re: Monetising a webcomic The way most webcomics make their money is through sales of collection and merchandising.
