I am sad🙂‍↕️ #shareurmood

well, everything is slow and steady so sometimes it's hard to tell whether they'll work for you because so many things take time. Sharing interesting snippets and facts and art of your characters is often a good way to market them I've found, but a different method works for every thing.

So once I had hit 25 subs I stopped using the sub for sub and now I've been getting more views and subs than I ever did with sub for sub

[kyupol]

I feel like I am consciousness

I am tired, but in the good sort of way. Been trying my hand at other projects and it makes me motivated to work on my main comic. It's a lot of work tho (random animations) but it's been fun and I've recently switched up my upload schedule so the pressure's not too high

So, I'm not bad off rn.

Good luck out there!

I am an anxious wreck and needing hot chocolate or cookies or something.

[Skyy]

Is it bad that I have normal hot chocolate and seasonal hot chocolate

[2DLenzy]

I'd drink it every day if I could.
I put it in my coffee -- that is if I have any left XD

[Skyy]

I used to drink it every day

I don't want to go too much into my personal live but I am a bit stressed.

I am also recovering from surgery, which does give me hope that I will get better.

[VibrantFox]

hard to put to words but it's definitely a mitski - abbey kind of mood lately

still relatively optimistic but the fight through things like burnout are tiring to say the least

[Lensing]

I wake up every morning and feel thankful for simple things. It gives me a good start in
the day and I´m generally a person with a positive mental attitude and that´s what I recommend
to everyone.

It is very, very hard to get some attention with creative work and some people even try to sabotage
you on your way and bring you down instead of a little support. It is important to pull through and keep
at it and to have as much fun as possible while creating it, it will show in your work

[Rayfloret]

Lol! Consciousness?🤣

[Rayfloret]

Same bud! Comfort food really does help!

[Rayfloret]

Hope u get better soon..

[kyupol]

Yep. When you see (or get a glimpse of) beyond the fog, you too will feel the same way. It's a place where there is no room for hate (of self and / or others) or any negative feeling. But sometimes to get there, you must go through pain.

Lol honestly? Never done sub 4 sub, I'd rather have readers than dead numbers so I normally participate in Q&A, reading events, promote in groups that are more likely to have my audience. The forum is nice to promote on every blue moon, since new people come in sometimes, but the community here has gotten so tiny. You're just showing your stuff to the same people over and over again most of the time.

Comic wise, I've been on hiatus for over a year now due to two jobs taking all my time and energy. It's a little depressing because I want to finish the story so bad, plus drawing is my de-stress, so I haven't had many opportunities to just... breath? all this time. Other than that I'm doing good, just living that American Dream. Finances are tight but who isn't having money struggles in this day and age. Lol

Guys, maybe we open new thread/topic - PROMO with description to sub only if you like a story - I feel like it's a lot of sub for sub topic but less more quality ones like "what your character do"/ "what inspire x" or something like that.
idk

[Skyy]

I actually like that a lot, good idea

Greetings!

Just like our stories and comics, everything takes time. The right audience will find you.

I'd much prefer an interest in my comic than just saying "i liked ur thing, now like mine." It doesn't help me understand my audience if it's just done for a number. I usually go into regular promo once in a while and just post in a maximum of 3 the day of an update for myself.

I think your idea of the promo topic with the intention of garnering actual interest is good, but also borders on what is already there in the promo channel.

Then again... we do have lots of topics with people just talking about their stories. Imho, I don't like participating in those mostly because it detracts from a person going to my comic to find that info out for themselves. And a lot of fun questions for creators to share in the forums ask about stuff that some people can't take part in because of where their stories are, and how much they do/don't want to give away. Hmm...

But I think this idea has merit. Maybe it being specifically like a "library space" or "reading room" kind of thing. Like, "This is the reading room for the mystery genre for comics! And here are all the subgenres categorized under mystery with respective comics linked there!" or something!
