What I write is just a dream. I don't hope for it.
if you suddenly had a big budget to use on your webtoon (and not go on a lavish holiday or something like that!), but could only spend it on one thing, what would it be and why?
Commission a good online composer (with good orchestratic root) co-create some major themes for my series.
Commission a good video editor to make a few trailers (long, short) and more.
Maybe planning some special merchs.
I want my series to be more legit (and a bit professional) for the readers and potential fans. It's also something I would love to have.
Would you spend it on advertising? If so where would you spend it?
If I can buy it, I would buy some publicity by with some mid-level indie comic reviewer/influencer youtubers, let them review my series, or promote it, or something like a scripted interview.
And also if I have extra money, I may want hire a long-term translator + PR person. (If I want to expand more than my 2 languages it'll be Spanish)
Would you spend it on commissioning a big comic star / your hero to work ./ collab with you?
I'm not really know about people in the "industry" or any big comic stars. Not my focus. The closest would be the mid-level indie comic youtubers if I need their help to push my series.
