Do you know any other forums I could promote my comic on?

[DiscountedArtist]

I guess it's possible to promote my comic here, but I feel like this place is better for advice. Do you guys know any other forums that I can go on?

Nope and if I did I wouldn't tell you because you would probably spam posts on there.

[DiscountedArtist]

you would probably spam posts on there.

You don't know me, so don't pretend that you do.

[CommanderMarty]

I wasn't, I was going off the amount of posts you made today.

[DiscountedArtist]

This is my 3rd post today. I don't know if that's considered a lot.

[CommanderMarty]

This is the fourth post.

[DiscountedArtist]

Four posts isn't spam.

Can we please just stop arguing, I don't want Ratique to have to close this thread.

[Random_Guy]

Make this your last topic of the day okay pal.

Sorry to butt in, wait no I’m not, but you don’t really have the authority to boss him around like that.

[CommanderMarty]

You do make a good point but four topics in one day is a bit much.

[Random_Guy]

As for promotion, I don’t know about any other forums per say, but I’ve heard it’s best to advertise on social medias.

[Random_Guy]

Eh, I’ll agree it’s the tiniest bit excessive, but it’s hardly spam my guy.

They were spaced out enough that it’s no issue.

You do make a lot of topics and posts but it's understandable because you're new to the platform and comic making so you have plenty of thoughts and questions. It's good to be curious about these things because it means you're putting effort into making a good comic .
So to your question. The only other forum I knew of closed down earlier this year, I believe. It was the Smackjeeves forum. Maybe get a reddit account and look for comic sharing subreddits on there. I know there are art communities on Discord that are always looking for new members so consider that.

I know a forum you can promote your story on, but there's a rule that you should only have one promotion thread per story. But the community is nice and helpful and artists as well as writers are always welcome. It's ShanniiWrites Forums
I guess on most forums it depends on how active you are and how many people see you around doing other things that just promoting your story. Friends you find on forums are more likely to check out your story!

[DualDragons]

Yeah, this forums is mostly creators. The majority of readers are on social media. So it might be worth your time to do research on how that works.

You could also do things like DTIYS or other events on social media so people get to see your art and work.

Have you tried posting on reddit?

Theres also the comic fury forums you could hit up.

Does Reddit have specific subreddits for comics? I know it has one for fanfiction (i might try posting my fics there but also I'm kinda scared haha)

[But_a_Jape]

They do, it's r/comics. I post my comics to Reddit on r/comics and r/funny most frequently - if one of my comics contains themes that can also apply to a different subreddit (e.g. r/gaming), I'll post there as well.

A few pointers for people who want to post to Reddit but aren't too familiar with the site:

• r/funny does not allow you to create a thread until your account has been around for a while. I learned this because I made a new account specifically for my content and my first couple submissions were removed for this reason. I don't know how old your account needs to be, but wait a while (maybe a month) before trying to post your stuff there
• Read the rules of the subreddit you're submitting to - you don't want to keep getting your posts removed because something about your submission violated the rules
• You WILL get downvoted - even more so, you will never know why because most people don't leave comments. Maybe they had a good reason to, maybe they didn't, you won't know. Whatever you do, DO NOT call attention to your downvotes or complain about them, this will only invite more.

That's all I can come up with so far. Feel free to ask about anything else and I'll answer what I can.

Deviantart is still a biggy. I'm not as much on it anymore. At least, not for now.
They have a pretty good forum and there's the groups too.

Id recommend tapatalk, the webcomic section, all they mainly do is review webcomics. Keep in mind the users are pretty blunt when it comes to reviewing webcomics. Only go there if your not afraid of harsh criticism.

[CursedBeasts]

Thank you!

Yeah, I have a Reddit account. It's not super active, I mostly just comment on things once in a while.

I might try my luck in r/swtor, the subreddit of the game my comic is based off of, actually.
