Did you get featured or did you not have a jump and everything has been slowly going in the right way?

I have seen my comic in trending though honestly I think I only got jumps of subscribers if something is actiony/suspense is going on.
For me, it was the first four months. I got about 75subs/month and was posting twice a week. I believe I kept posting that frequently for a while after, but I didn't have that much visibility as I wasn't "new and noteworthy" anymore 
It'd be pretty cool to get a spotlight/daily snack someday 
That would be a few days ago and it was like a 10 subber count jump. I'm still fairly new to the site so I'm not expecting to experience a lot of subber count jumps but its great to see it when it does happen.
Tappastic definitely bagan to grow a lot more when I made a lot of creator Friends; and then again when I finished my first comic and dove into the second one with a lot more experience and better Art.
For Webtoon, I can say as soon as you have that sweet "1K" sign on your thumbnail, people do subscribe a lot more.
I've just barely made 25 total subs, but I've jumped this month thanks to being more active on the forums.
I think it was a daily snack (never got to actually see it), but I had a 600 sub jump overnight last year 
Biggest jump was when I first got active in the forums a while back. That seems to be my biggest help...Dunno why.
As for me ummm i think it was when i transitioned into BL comics. I've always worked on Heterosexual comics where the love interest is man& woman. but as soon as i started Strings and Time, i got a good head starts then i was featured several times in the trending so it went up a bit. as of right now i think it slowed down tho. but i have a bigger fan base on webtoon. either way, the key is "CONSISTENCY", if you can post religiously you should see an improvement.
Speaking of the english version of my comic, my biggest jump was in April; I got 5 subs in that month!
Happened in January.
I don't know how it happened, but a story I put out got a spike in views and subscribers.
Unfortunately, the episodes that followed failed to reach even half of what the first one did.
I'm one of those with slow but steady growing. Since my art got better, more people got interested and I have 57 readers now. And I think that's totaly fine, as my art is still improving and my first chapters looking bad.
A while ago I stoped carring too much about the numbers and just enjoy making comics
Also a nice icon realy helps, because it's the first thing, people see.
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)
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 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
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!
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

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

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

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 TIME1. 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.
I'm just curious.
