Views or subs or both?

[jordanthelass]

At first, when I started my comic Whose World, it was all about getting subs and views. I got extremely jealous when comics popped up with three or four pages that got 10K+ views and 4k+ subs in a matter of days.

I've been sticking with my guns and posting content consistently over the last two and a half months now--and that's all that matters to me, really. My comic is fun to draw. The views and subs are perks of perfecting the craft of comic making (in my case, a comic strip. XD).

But, to be honest, I think both are great. ^_^

Wouldn't more subscribers lead to more views and more likes? I feel like they all go hand-in-hand. It's like a snowball effect, the more subscribers you have, the more views you're going to get when you post, the higher up in the trending algorithm you're likely to get, thus reaching new subscribers and so on and so forth

the view- subscriber circle of life !!

So what does it mean if you have little subs but a constant number of views that out grow the sub number?

[Sanz]

Im pretty sure everyone has more views then subs. But i guess if you have like 1 millions veiws and only 3 subs maybe something is turning them off from subbing? I wonder is there is like an equation. Like for 100 veiws you get at least 2 peoole will sub. I dunno.

I don't know about views vs subs, but I try to get a feel for how effective an individual joke/page was based on number of likes vs views. I tend to average ~10% likes vs view (1 like for ever 10 views), and try to aim to get higher than that to increase the average

Comments motivate me most

I think I value comments and likes,makes you feel somebody's really reading it ;>

I really don't pay much attention to the view count. A view doesn't say if someone liked the comic or not, but a like does. Subs are rarer, but show that the person is interested in following the story long-term.
But my favorite are comments. A like is nice, but comments let people give you real feedback. It means more because they actually have to take the time to think of something to say. And you get to reply to them, making it more social.
You know what I mean?

Even though I havent released my series yet, I agree- I like when readers/viewers leave comments...it shows that they're interested in your work.
