How can I promote my comic without social media?

[generalpluto]

I prefer to not use any platforms like twitter, facebook, instagram, deviantart, tumblr, etc. so how could I promote my webcomic without using any social media?

Looking for comic related forums around the net is one way. Reddit and other sites can get you eyes.

And then there's the old fashioned boots on the ground way by going to cons and tabling.

you can post it in forums on Tapas, Webtoons and Reddit. But forums are a form of social media as well, so...

I barely use social media to promote my work. Sometimes a little insta, sometimes a little Twitter. Just stick with it, keep pumping out new content and eventually your audience should grow. Word of mouth is still a thing.

As @kaiwang868 said, you can promote on forums. The forums here have threads dedicated to promoting creators' webcomics and/or novels. This one is an example.

As for my opinion, if you have a Discord account or any access to private messenger groups, then you can promote there too. You can also share your comic to friends and family (if you're comfortable showing it to them.)

You can go old school, and give a way zinz shout out from the corner like old newspaper boys, pamphlet.
The truth I hate using social media. but, unless you have a number of good friends that can spread the word about your work in a "virus" method, I don't see other ways.

Is there is a specific subreddit that's good for this kind of promotion? Reddit is pretty much just a giant maze to the new user.

honestly, I don't know...I don't really use Reddit myself, but I have friends who do. If I find anything out, I'll drop a line in this thread
