Query about Webtoon?

I was looking for the first time on webtoon and I saw a bunch of tapastic comics there. I was wondering whether it is a good thing to have your comic on more than one site and whether webtoon would be a good one?

Thanks!

Having your comic in more than one place means you reach more potential readers, which is a good thing!

I'm not on webtoon (though I'm definitely considering it), but it seems like they'd be an interesting option, especially since they just integrated Patreon-buttons and stuff.

Webtoon is a pretty good option for a 2nd site to upload to, and in my personal experience I've had some success there. It might help you expand your reader base if you upload there but in the end its your choice ^^

I just started using Line Webtoon and so far the experience has been positive. I upload my comic to three places. Tapastic, Webtoon, and my own site. I've found the audience at Line and Tapastic seem to be different, or at least a lot of the people commenting on my comic on Line Webtoon have never seem my work before.

There's no reason not to have your comic available to multiple audiences, the only catch being that if you ever get selected for a paying thing... like Hiveworks or Line Featured, they like you to be exclusive. Which just means you'd need to take your series down wherever else it's hosted.

Is there any way to see who are your subscribers on Line Webtoon, cause I wanted to thank them for subscribing but I couldn't?

I'm pretty sure there's no way to directly contact them even if you could see who they are. There's no profiles or direct messaging, as far as I can tell.

Yeah, sadly you can't do that on Webtoon. The best option is just to post your thank you image in your update so your subscribers can see it. It used to be a thing when you reached over 1k subscribers, you will unable to tell how many subscriber you are getting until it hit 1k1, 1k2, 1k3 etc and I used to hate that :C But now they have a stats check so it's all better now!
