How Do I Get More SUBSCRIBERS?!

dglisson 2016-02-19 16:35:02 UTC #69

Who wouldn't like more subscribers? I have to say that currently, I have 15 episodes up of Beast Bait and I have 11 subscribers--and boy do I value every single one of those 11. I made the decision a while back that these are my 11 fans, I am going to make do my best for those 11 people and give them a hell of a good story.

I did change the subject of my comic from "Horror" to "Fantasy" because there is no category for "Supernatural Urban Adventure"... but I am perfectly happy with what I have going, I had to make that decision, and that when my first chapter is all posted I will seek out feedback and see how I'm doing so far and really start pushing on social media to try to get more. In the meantime, I try to engage with my 11 folks and hope they will grow organically as I keep doing my best to tell a good story and put out quality product.

I recently used Imgur and i think it is very effective than reddit here's my stat. I got shocked with a mix of happy when i see my stat.

My idea, is that, I could just get so many pages released, that more people will read it and then I'll gain subs.....................................................................cough

Views are great.......but all the views on my comic were mostly on the cover. sniff Sniff*

I was wondering the same thing tbh. I'm super new and was curious to what others do here is my comic http://tapastic.com/series/Los-Esmeraldas and i only have 5 subs. after reading this it was rather helpful.

Hi, I'm actually asking the same question, I'm updating my comics but i can't seem to even attract some friends. How do i?

marayekki15 2016-02-26 03:53:24 UTC #78

I feel you bruh .__. i mean, I wonder how do they do it? Is it because of friends? Cuz i ain't got any yet on Tapastic...

Truth be told. We have a lot of our readers because 1. We've been doing it for a LONG time. 2. We paid for advertising 3 My husband works in marketing and knows how to get stuff out there. 4. I hope we tell a good story and people just like it.

As for making friends. I wish I had better advice for you and I was better at it too. I don't have a lot of friends either.

I actually got the more views likes and everything else I've ever had on imgur http://imgur.com/gallery/8HfOpJ8 (110 upvotes) 10,000 views with 628 likes on facebook and 100 and something upvotes on 9gag all linked back to my tapastic site and... got a whole 30 views on tapastic out of it lol this game is tough

justieno 2016-02-26 20:29:55 UTC #81

that's all from this one comic alone, I really don't have a clue what's going on, mabye people just don't like tapastic links or are afraid to click them because they don't know what it is?

joannekwan 2016-02-26 20:32:08 UTC #82

I think it's because your series is more suited to those sites because it's a gag-a-day.

justieno 2016-02-26 20:36:02 UTC #83

hmm, what do you think i should do about the whole driving traffic to tapastic thing? it's been tough

joannekwan 2016-02-26 20:38:38 UTC #84

Hm, aside from the usual advertising, incentives are always nice, like if you post one or two strips on Tap ahead of the other sites.

justieno 2016-02-26 20:43:12 UTC #85

I'm trying to make tapastic my main site too so that's not a bad idea, I think I'll definately start doing that from now on! thanks for the advice!

I think most new comers to Tapastic are turned off by the pop up login window that comes up when scrolling down a comic. Especially if they're visiting just to read one strip. Maybe consider making an official site for your comic, use that link on imgur and such, and provide a link back to your Tapastic series on your site. It's good to have an official site anyways.

I know a way but you won't like it.

It involves a contract, your soul and a red dude with horns.

Sorry, there was such an abundance of great advice, I just went with being silly. I'll go away now.

Do you have any marketing advice for us, perhaps? I've been trying to research that kinda stuff online, but it's pretty overwhelming : O
