Has anyone heard about this new webcomic publishing platform?

@bluehoodie232004 - The site is still in development, so the first people to upload are testers. The layout and functionality will likely change between now and when the site goes 100% live after July.

Dillyhub's mother company 'Monster Heads' is based in Netherland, and Dillyhub's founded by their Korean developers. Their office is still in Amsterdam if nothing's changed.

It's a self-publishing platform and creator friendly. I have uploaded my work on Korean Dillyhub too. One of the artists has become quite successful there so that she got her film adaptation contract lately. It's small but I have no complains so far.

Visit Korean Dillyhub then you can picture how English Dillyhub may well look like in the future.

@starless - Thanks so much for this info and for the site! Good to know that it's a creator-friendly platform. Looks really well organized, too!

This looks kind of interesting! I'm uploading here and Webtoons now, but maybe I'll apply to post there as well. Can't really hurt, can it?

Exactly - since your IP remains yours, it definitely can't hurt!

In my experience, one should always be open to new places because they can be a new ground for finding readers and people of your time. Old places are easy to get lost in (no offense to them and you should still join them too). With the closing of Smackjeeves, it's a good idea to be open to places.

Thanks once again
I applied for this

bluehoodie232004 2021-05-20 13:32:04 UTC #30

How did you upload?.

Hmm.... I guess I might have to be less suspicious lol. I wonder if they're gonna do novels...

thel3tterm 2021-05-20 14:25:26 UTC #32

Woah! This definitely seems promising. I just signed up for the beta as well.

They had reached out to me via IG and I wasn't sure if it was legitimate or not. But reading this thread has me interested in trying it out!

I'm South Korean so I read Korean haha. This is my series 'Sagax' translated in Korean on Dillyhub.

In terms of monetization, you can choose among free/ wait for free/ charged without any regulation since it's self-publishing. There's no premium system. They don't have ads so there's no ad revenue, but there's tipping. It's like Tapas + Patreon.

I have a very little traffic but I earned around $ 6 by setting up wait for free. Not much but felt good. They accept novels too. English ver. will probably have a similar system.

Thanks for telling us! Dillyhub looks super cute. I signed up for their beta.

TheGentleArtist 2021-05-20 18:23:30 UTC #36

Oooh, I'll check this out.

memologue 2021-05-21 00:22:58 UTC #37

Never realised they were making a n English version, I’ve come across the Korean version when I was going down a rabbit hole :’)

Definitely going to give it a closer look!!

SketchbookKid 2021-05-21 03:14:22 UTC #38

Very interesting! i'll have to keep my eye on this.

AkaAllanah 2021-05-21 03:18:59 UTC #39

Thanks for letting us know! I just hope to get in on a small site and have those first small group of readers, because ya everything gets lost on the big sites

AkaAllanah 2021-05-21 03:24:56 UTC #40

The Korean site has a few ‘graphic medicine’ comics which is a kinda new genre I haven’t seen anywhere but indie publication. It’s what my comic falls under too so that’s kinda interesting. I’m excited for this place more now XD
