I am actually submitting at Tapas, Webtoons and WebcomicsApp.
I plan to submitt my next project on GlobalComix.

Who knows. In one of thems I could hit the jackpot :expressionless:

I'm posting to... checks my carrd site with all the links
tapas
webtoon
globalcomix (I tend to appear in the most popular comics of the year there :3)
flowfo
comic fury
webcomicsapp
mangatoon
patreon
and bundling stuff up into pdfs on itch.io

you never know where you'll find the audience that clicks with your work the most

I've posted on the webcomics app, and its nothing that notable. You have to cut up your canvas more than for webtoon, and scrolling on the app is not that smooth, it takes a bit for the images to load in. Also- each episode has to be approved individually which takes some time. I'm not up to date with my comic on there for these reasons. You can't see how many people have seen your comic or likes either.

But here's where I actively update and why:

  • Webtoon: My largest readership is there, and it's where the most accessible version of my comic is, with it being in vertical scroll. Most of my marketing is for that site on places like tiktok because I know there's a good chance people already have webtoon installed on their phone. Also nice and smooth reading experience there.

  • Tapas: The best place for me to post the page version of my comic, with a pretty good readership. It's been really nice to have staff feature my comic regularly on there, which has helped people find my work! Also way less competition in the horror genre which allows me to rank pretty high.

  • Instagram: Surprisingly is competing with my webtoon audience! With marketing, I post reels that direct people to following my account, which has helped me find people to read the comic on there. Some people don't go on comic sites but want to keep up with my work, so Instagram is helpful with that. Although, cropping and quality of images have gone down the drain recently, really annoying. Also can't go back and update old pages there rip.

  • ComicFury: Great for posting uncensored content, also good for page format. Scheduling on there is super easy so I can space out my updates throughout the week.

  • Globalcomix: Nice since I only have to post on there when I complete a 50 or so page chapter so I don't have to worry about it every week. I don't have much interaction on there tho, but I'll see how it goes.

Ofc a lot of my points here are in regards to expanding readership :sweat_02: If I'm not really seeing anyone reading my comic on a site, I'll stop posting to it and save myself the effort.

WHOA WHOA WHOA. HOLD-UP.

Did you just say... Newgrounds? I didn't even know they take webcomics. I was thinking about just putting my videos there, but if you're able to post your webcomics there then that would most likely help me. Especially since the stick figure community is big over there.

Do you have a link to your webcomic on the site so I can see how things work?

I'm thinking of posting on royalroad soon :smiley:

Yes, even though I grew to like Tapas as a platform for comics, it does seem very friendly here I wanted to try out Webtoon for comparism on how the comic grows on different platform. I have seem most people do post here and there at the very same time however I'm planning to keep Tapas as my main platform for comic.

If you are doing a comic I would suggest posting on canvas webtoons, tapas, mangaplus, and other sites that will increase your fan base. But you have to decide what is your main goal?

For example, do you want a chance to grow big or go home? I recommend webtoons for that. Canvas section can easily get you a fan base since webtoons app has a huge fan base compared to other apps plus canvas can really grow if it has good art or great comedy.

The downside of webtoons. Even though you can grow a lot I have noticed fans prefer art over a good story on webtoons. Many new canvas win the opportunity to get serialized but their story telling is super lacking full of plot holes (even awful grammar) among other things but great art.

Now I do notice anyone with an original concept comedy wise tend to be a big hit over there even if their art isn't amazing like the best webtoon over there. That's a plus for anyone with a concept such as stickman isekai. Another plus is that newly updated canvas do get seen a lot so winning a fan base isn't as hard as other webpages.

Now if your goal is just to increase your fan base post everywhere you can.

THERE ARE NO RISKS posting on multiple websites EXCEPT the obvious copycats here and there. But usually copycats are not super common unless you make a huge fan base.

I guess you could also forget updating one platform if you consider that a risk?

I mean, it's a good thing to post on different sites and have different mirrors. This is the best way to get a wider audience! Now, about webcomicsapp, I wouldn't really suggest you post there. They don't have that good of a reputation and I haven't heard good stories about them. I might be wrong, though, so in the end it's up to you.

The sites I'd suggest you to post on are Webtoon Canvas, GlobalComix and Comicfury.

I tried, but it either became too bothersome or I didn't like an aspect of other pages.

I publish my comic on Tapas and Webtoon.
I want to try in future Global comics and that app made by medibang (I don't remember the name) but I need to upload full chapters for the last one.

Oh yea I post on Newgrounds and comicfury has my largest readership, I actually love that site sm. And I've been working on a scroll version of my comics for mobile readers so i can hopefully do webtoons

Was thinking about deleting my old TSFI Webtoons page and starting anew by posting daily. Not sure if I wanna continue from it since it's been a while I posted. Plus I want the thumbnails to only show the anime side.

I post on Tapas and Webtoons.

I don't like WEBTOONs because it's hard to get eyeballs on your series unless you promote using outside social media sites like Twitter.

I tend to post some of my one-shots on Instagram. You would have to work within the formatting of the site, which can sometimes look weird with some comics. It might not be the best for serial series, but OK if your focus is gag-a-days.

I post my comics on five platforms:

Instagram: As much as I bloody hate the algorithm, that's where most of my followers come from due to its colossal userbase which makes it easy to redirect random people I encounter IRL to.

Twitter: I don't get nearly as much engagement there since I can't figure out how to promote myself there. I still have my 2nd highest follower count on the platform nevertheless.

Webtoon: While it's the biggest webcomic platform out there, it's the unfriendly one in terms of community. There's no way for users to directly interact with each other or a forum which makes it hard to communicate with fellow creators. I know there're Discord servers, but I prefer the structure of traditional internet message boards. Plus, their search engine sucks, hiding the results for my comic unless you search for it on the Canvas section. Thanks a bunch for shooing away potential future readers /s.

Tapas: My favorite webcomic site by far. The traction here started with the same meager numbers as Webtoon, but as I've been increasingly active on the forums here, I've managed to build up a larger readership in a short amount of time. It also has the best moderation team that's timely and reliable with their responses.

Dilllyhub: It's like Webtoon and Tapas and contains many great features. However, since no one uses it, it just serves as a place for me to archive my comics.

Global Comix looks like a tempting option, but it's already tiresome enough to post my content in 5 places at once.

Nah Webtoon will most definitely not allow my comic and I gave up on other sites :sob:

Posting my comics only on here and my website for now... may move over to webtoons if I start a new series tho. :slight_smile:
