How long does it takes you to reach 1000 subs for 2020？

Took me two and a half years to be halfway there.

Reaching 1000 subs depends on too many factors to say how long will it take. Some people gradually build their audience and some just get lucky.

[ItzaMeLuigi]

There's way too many factors to suggest any sort of meaningful timeline. Is your artwork good? Is your story compelling? Are you advertising your story outside of just posting episodes? Are you networking with other creators?

If your answer is yes to all these questions, I still can't give you a date. Sometimes good stories get lost in the sea of new releases, sometimes you get lucky and get promoted which leads to a flood of new subscribers. The only surefire way to hit 1k subs is to constantly and consistently push quality updates.

It really depends! if you are extremely popular on other app it would take around 1 to 3 months but if you start from scratch it could go around 4 months to 1 year... it all depends on what you are posting!

I was laughing so hard at this... You made my day.

[gempompadour]

That's how it is. I follow a comic that started 5-6 months later than mine but got quickly noticed by webtoon staff. I have ~160 subs and they are near 10k.

Takes people different lengths of time. Luck plays a huge role. Update schedule effects it as well which kind of depends on how much free time you have where you are in your life. Advertising helps as much as it can. But it's still different for everyone

[TheDoublekey]

Sums it up pretty accurately.

I've been updating my comic about a year and I'm at 675, so... I have no idea, honestly. Realistically I don't expect to hit it any time before the end of the year unless I get another Staff pick, but I do think I'll get there eventually.

I just reached 1k subs today yay! that's i think hmmm 5 months here in tapas, maybe because I update almost everyday,
in webtoon i think 3 years? cause I've been on hiatus, maybe that doesn't count.
but i think it depends.

[KJBatson]

I doubt I'll get even 100 let alone 1000

[domisotto]

I think it's a never for me, but I am happy with people just reading my stories

[sushy00]

still haven't reached it ...

[thomaslmcdonell]

I was up to exactly 999 on my comic on Webtoons when I rebooted it and started from scratch. I think I may be cursed. XD

(it's at 998 at the moment)

I started posting in May of this year, and reached 1k about halfway through June. Idk, im still floored. I have virtually 0 following anywhere else, so it wasn't like I could direct traffic to my comic that way. I think it came down to two things:
1. GL isn't nearly as popular a genre as say BL or general Romance, so maybe I had more visibility with an audience hungry for GL.
2. I started posting a mermaid centric comic during Mermay, so maybe readers were more open to reading my comic at the time.
I think in my case and many cases, the growth comes down to dumb luck. I feel really lucky anyway Also, I was and remain enthusiastic about my comic and stuck to a schedule, which I think goes a long way in pulling people in.

[GesuGesu]

I hit 1k 4 years ago, but I started a new comic this year around May and it's sitting around 300 subs after 4 months. The growth on Tapas in 2020 is much slower than in 2016.

I don't promote my new comic either, so it's either returning readers or random new readers.

[elpenor]

I've accepted that it's not gonna happen lol

my comic's an offbeat serial comedy with a handful of rough tonal breaks. it's not for everyone

[ninjashira]

There are a lot of factors involved, so it's different for everyone. I've been posting my comic on Tapas for about ten months now, and I just hit 1,000 subscribers. Some people will make it there faster, some will take longer to get to that number, and some may never get to a thousand. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Comic.Kikikora]

Wow that is very good result!
