I also write mainly for the female gaze, both straight and LGBTQ. I'm sure that other people can enjoy my work, but I primarily write for them. Probably helps that a lot of my cast is female, Gunhild is a lesbian and Loki is gender fluid

I'll be a bit of an outliner since I was writing for mostly a male audience since they tend to not be targeted as much for webcomics.

(Not a bad thing, just figured I'd find more of a niche.)

My target audience is anybody who wants to read my story.
Everyone is invited to participate and give their suggestions for the plot:

Content wise, it's pretty much G-rated stuff, so anyone could read it.

Anyone that can help me grow. but ages young some things are 14+ but for the most part they are highschoolers!

@KevinReijnders although I don't agree with you, I think what I said to you yesterday was quite rude and I want to apologize. No one in the world wins alone and, although I don't depend on you for anything, I know that I depend on other people to be able to do certain things that I need, and if I wouldn't give those people the treatment I gave you yesterday, neither should give it to you, since no one knows tomorrow. I'm sorry and stay at peace.

My specific target audience for my story "Ein UFO kommt selten allein" (Where there's one UFO, there are usually more)
was kids between 10 and 14 who like funny european comics in a certain european, funny cartoon/comic style and who are not
into violent or superhero action comics and not into romance comics. Younger kids wouldn´t understand the comic, older kids
would think the comic is boring. It convinced the jury and that was my second target audience
because I wanted to win the contest.

I believe that the more precise you know and name your audience the more likely you have success.
At least when you work for a specific target audience

I don´t think about my target audience when I create something all the time,
because most of the time I am my own target audience. The best things that I created where things
that I created for myself and then other people just happened to like it too.

@Lensing I sent you a private message, look there

I'd say my target audience is anyone who likes somewhat cozy romance. It's regardless of where you're from or who you are (Even if you aren't a human. I hope the aliens like it too), I hope you'd like it.

The only way I can promote currently is through here because I can't have social media.

conventurecomics 2024-10-14 03:49:47 UTC #46

My target of audience is anime and manga fans, cosplay convention con-gers, retro and some newer video gamers.

Lensing 2024-10-14 03:59:59 UTC #47

I´m an alien and even though I can´t speak on the behalf of other aliens,
I can assure you that there is a huge group of aliens who are into cozy romance

Cass 2024-10-14 04:03:38 UTC #48

Oh I've never met an alien before! Welcome to earth! It makes me extremely happy that an alien and I have something in common. You should check out my book sometimes if it's up to your alien tastes!

SumireHime 2024-10-14 04:13:08 UTC #49

My target audience is definitely aged 18 and above. There's some naughty adult humor that I wouldn't want to expose kids to. I reach them through social media advertising.

thepenmonster 2024-10-14 12:31:16 UTC #50

Who is my target audience:

Anyone without shit taste.

how do I reach them:

Despite the bowing and scraping to the almighty algorithm, there has only ever been a single path to glory: The audience.

They have friends to recommend the comic to. They have links to share, images to right click and post on their socials, and names to drop. The algorithm depends upon how they act as well. So if your audience isn't paying you cash, they need to be paying you in P.R. otherwise they're failing to live up to their side of the deal and you are dead in the water.

NewAgeComics 2025-02-05 22:35:26 UTC #51

My target audience is any one interested in reading a short and complex action fantasy story. I also want writing experts as well so they can point out where I make mistakes

jwabeasley 2025-02-06 00:16:49 UTC #52

My target audience is young women, especially those who like magic/occult/tarot/astrology and so forth. I find it helps to focus my writing to have a specific audience in mind. It helps keep me from going ham on elements that they don't necessarily find interesting.

Of course, I'm not against people outside the target demographic liking it, too. It's just easier to communicate if there's an intended someone to listen.

I am especially writing for my wife and daughters - if they're not interested in the story, there's no point to it!

enderdragon 2025-03-26 10:25:04 UTC #53

The target audience for my current comic (The Moonlight Manifesto) are, in general, people who enjoy sci-fi (or any other fantastical genre fir that matter) zany, subversive humor and deeper philosophical themes in equal measure.

runeslime 2025-03-26 11:04:50 UTC #54

My target audience is anyone who loves fantasy, adventure, ttrpg, and rom-coms. There's so much serious fantasy (that's amazing) out there, but sometimes you just need a fun little story to get through the day. So I wanted to make something with similar energy to old pulp fantasy and situations that happen in Dungeons and Dragons games. Also, some slow burn romance

In regards to how I hope to reach them - I'm just going to throw things to the wall and see what sticks. So, posting on socials and smoke signals.

Elven Crusader is fantasy comic that has four-quadrant audience with exciting action and romance. My main target audience is older kids and young teenagers, male or female, who are fans of fantasy, action/adventure, and romance. The question is how I can market to the demographic.
