Is there a good way to gain subscribers quickly?

Aside from what people already mentioned I personally think leaving pages with cliffhangers is working to gain intrest too. Not all pages of course, but ocassionally pull the cliffhanger card so people look forward to what'll happen on the next page.

Is there anything in particular you did to reach your goals?

You guys forgot that in addition to the BL tag, the art must be in color and drawn in an in-offensive unoriginal way preferably with influences from manga/anime or stuff floating around tumblr derivative of Steven Universe and other series and/or artists with large fanbases over there.

But in all seriousness, just put up the best quality you can muster consistently. Advertise on any social media accounts you have and definitely don't be a stranger here on the forums! I pretty much know of everyone here and the respective series they do.

There is literally no way good way. No tricks, nothing.

I got quite a lot of followers on my comics by doing nothing special. For instance: I don't have any following on social media, I don't update frequent, I never think about what my followers would like to see, I don't really interact with my followers nor with other people on Tapastic and I'm not active on the forums at all.

So I think not caring about your follower-count, but just making the comic you want to make, is the best way to get a followers. Because that's really the only thing I did.

BUT telling your friends and family to look at it may be rewarding, my mom was one of my first subscribers haha.

I think just putting yourself and your comic out there on different social sites works, but don't shove it at people, just have it linked in the descriptions and make a pinned tweet of it helps too.
