Do you publish your webcomics on other websites?

[budweedzz]

I've been using Tapas to publish chapters of my webcomic since 2019, and I absolutely using it, even gaining a somewhat consistent audience, recieving likes and comments and collaboration offers. And while I enjoy Tapas and will use it as my primary publisher, I always wanted to expand the webcomic to other websites as well, who knows, maybe I can gather a small audience there too. So far I've been consistently publishing my works on two other websites: Webtoon and Okida. Other than those two I haven't really been able to find any more new hosts so far. Any suggestions?

By the way there's my series if you're interested

you know of webtoon, so I'll skip that one

comicfury - most creator friendly (you get a website for free for your comic and you can edit its html, also very friendly to adult series) but with way smaller audience than webtoon/tapas (mostly due to it not having a mobile app and being a passion project of one person as far as I know without a budget to spam ads :P)
I feel like more western, cartoony comics in page format are most popular there

flowfo - similair deal as comicfury, pretty much no censorship, so no mobile app and so smaller readerbase, it is mostly home to mature queer comics, it also lets you put parts of your comic behind a patreon-like paywall

globalcomix - very creator friendly and most active when it comes to promoting creators, censorship level like it used to be on tapas until apple upped the censorship to ridiculous level, they recently added a mobile app which really boosted the readerbase, there are also traditionally published comics on this site from publishers like top cow, with a clear distinction between those and stuff posted by users but not in a way that hides the user published ones like webtoon and tapas kinda do...

itch.io - mostly a platform for indie games but you can also post pdfs on it - good place for when you've got some more stuff finished

I also use mangatoon and webcomicsapp - both have a similair level of censorship as webtoon and tapas mobile app but requires your stuff to go through manual review before it goes live, big readerbase but your stuff is also very likely to be buried under the sea of their translated licensed works, both are more for scroll type comics

NamiComi is new enough to not have pulled any tech company fuckery like Tapas and Webtoon... That I know of.

But it's very small and may never grow past what it is now.

Then again, it might. If people can abandon MySpace and FaceBook they can abandon any site if they really wanted to and start anew.

I don't... but I really, really should. Especially because I get the feeling B&W comics kinda get shafted on Tapas? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like a colour-heavy site.

[BlairFujin]

yes, your best bet for success on tapas is a scroll format, fully coloured, anime-styled romance/isekai/villainess/whatever is popular among the premium comics comic
the further you go from this the more rocky your road will be

[budweedzz]

yeah i've noticed that theme a lot too. even going to the main featured page of tapas all i see is just anime + romance (mostly bl) + really detailed dresses.

[budweedzz]

damn the interface looks clean as hell, ill genuinely try that one in a bit actually

[budweedzz]

thanks a lot especially for the quick summaries! i will look into each of those in a bit!

For various reasons, my current comic, I'm only publishing to my own website.

Like others said, you could try Globalcomix and Comicfury. I hear those mentioned a lot. You can also try adding your comic to lists/indexes that link back to your comic, cause that's another good way for people to find you. Just trying googling sites like Piperka, Comic Rocket, Topwebcomics, Belfry Webcomics Index, etc.

[budweedzz]

omg i love the design so much, it looks so clean and polished out! it also makes the comics seem a lot more exclusive if you know what i mean, i adore the idea! did you use a website maker or did you code out the thing yourself?

[MK_Wizard]

I do. I mirror on quite a few places, but my most notable mirrors are Drunk Duck, Global Comix and Comic Fury. Here is my comic if you're interested too.
