Hiii~~
I am a webtoon artist. I was wondering if there are places other than tapas forms where I can advertise myself so that I can collaborate with a writer? Like places that post job listings for something like that idk.
tyyy~~~

There's also the Discord, if you aren't on it already! Other places also include ComicFury, which is less scroll comic focused.

instagram,tiktok,pinterest (upload whatever scene you like and put a link for your comic), twitter, tumblr, pretty much every popular social media can be used for promotion

that way people will see your work on many different platforms and they might want to work with you

I've tried instagram but it's hard getting a following on there. But I haven't thought of pinterest. Thank you for the suggestion.

I'm part of a couple servers on discord but they are mainly for commissions. I'm looking for more of a long term project. But thank you for the suggestion :)))

I'm sure people will see and love your work

Regurarly I see topics here where a writer asks for an artist for collaboration. Keeping an eye on this forum might get you the writer that you want:)

You can try out checking Discord Servers, both for illustrators or webcomic artists. As well even if it's long term, is still a commission, so advertise yourself in those channels too.
Try to be in at least 100 Facebook Groups focused on comic/manga/webtoon creation, you may find something
There is a lot of job offers on several Sub-Reddits, like this one, specially for assistans or colorists.

Just a piece of advice:

Try offering a solid style/type of work and price
Make art constantly, update often on your social media, and add a small "Hey, if you like my work for comics you can hire me :)" and then a link to your offers, prices, etc.
If you're on Webtoon / Webcomic Discord Servers, try to chat a bit and comment about looking to be an assistant or artist, some may consider it and want to discuss things further on DM.
