When did you have your biggest jump on subscribers

[spicy_sweets]

When my novel was featured on staff picks and noteworthy in July.

Mine was on the third or fourth day after publishing my story. I got 40 subs. It was 2 years ago. Then sub just raise gradually I guess.

I got 16 in October, not sure why, it's all been downhill since then.

I had the biggest jump in subs when I was featured in the Noteworthy Novels section. Right now I'm seeing some big growth in subs for my current work ELINA because it's being featured there

Elina | Tapas

My comics subs is so slow it's bringing flashbacks to 90's internet connection, that you waited a few minuets just to see a picture on a musty text site. and it was even a GIF format.

When i showed the first page of my comic in a topic about sharing the first 3 pages of your comic, and when i showed that same page in a topic about showing a funny scene of your comic.

I usually get more subs when I start a new chapter because the comic I'm working on is a learning exercise - every time I finish a chapter I gather a bunch of feedback and I make the required changes in the new chapter.
Since I have a big jump in quality I find more new readers subscribe than before, as they're seeing the newest and most improved version of my work.

At least, for the current project that's when I've found my sub count moving the most.

Definitely when I first started out my comic - I got at least 400 of my subscribers in that first week. Still trying to figure out how to maintain/increase my sub count!

[zoonland]

According to my experience: never.
It takes a long time to get new subscribers, but I never noticed a real jump.
I don't have much subscribers, by the way

[kaiwang868]

In my experience, for novels on Tapas, the only way to get subs is to either get featured or write BL.

[Tanako]

Lol thanks for the compliment. yea, I felt that was the only choice I had. good then I don't have an issue with M/M to F/F relationships lol that would have been though.

[Tanako]

not necessarily. yes I understand that "BL" is like flaming hot right now but thats not the case. there are many Hetro comics that are just as good if not even better. and, you could start a BL and no one would read it so keep in mind not every one reads ever story just because its BL. if you don't have interesting story lines or characters with personality or volume, no one will gravitate towards it. and no one will read it. just saying.

I experienced a big growth once I made it into 1k on webtoons. I think that builds up some reputation, haha. I can agree to what someone said before me, though, consistency is key! Without it I´d be nowhere.

[Carossmo]

It was after the comic collab I had with a friend, last November 2018 XD
Maybe 30+ subs all of the sudden :'D

[Kittosaurus]

I was really lucky in the beginning I was almost immediately put on the staff picks list when I started uploading on Tapas, so my first full month of uploading I got over 200 subscribers. After that my subscriber growth took a nose dive. Now I see a slow but steady growth.

I've found that posting/ being active on the forums has been the best way to get a viewer boost besides upload days...

[Tanako]

while consistency is definitely important, it seems to me the key is clearly to transition into BL haha XD;;there is not much you can do if the audience is not interested in a m/f love story, but there is something to be said when you got featured multiple times only after starting a BL story (and i'm pretty sure your other stories where just as good to begin with)

Thank you. I believe so too. honestly, it was kinda disheartening when I realized that my fab base grew because of BL. I've always enjoyed creating BL and I have nothing against Gay relationships. but I struggled with accepting the fact that I enjoyed drawing and reading it and my natural response was to stay away from it. it was hard to share that with my family as well but somehow and feeling that they would think I'm weird or crazy made me feel paranoid. I also had a thought, why to bother drawing at all if I can't draw what I enjoy somewhere down the line I didn't care anymore. I had successfully convinced myself and that's how I finally accept reality then created STRINGS AND TIME. I still struggle with the idea that people will judge me so I don't share it with people I know so I leave it to my online fanbase. how pathetic right? at least I get no judgment there. anyway, yea that's the real gist of it. so overall, I'm happy creating content that my fanbase like and I enjoy doing it

When I changed the genre to "BL"

Edit: For reference on just how much of a difference it was when I changed it

Edit 2: When I mean the genre, I don't mean the story content, it was always in there just wasn't the main focus, even though the lead character is gay I think it's more of a fantasy, coming of age drama series. What I'm talking about changing is the actual genre tag on Tapastic.

[DasIstWunderblyat]

Never...
Never got any jump, never got luck, yeah

What I learnt from this forum thread: change your genre into BL I'm just curious.

[Rosso]

!!!!! D :
...... so like
the majority of my main cast are bi for plot reasons...
only one couple are in an established gay relationship.................
..... i am tempted to try this out for like a couple of days X"D
but it'll be misleading... ohno i didn't need this kind of discouraging info lmao
