Who's your target audience?

[anitacomics]

aaah, it's a harsh question! I've started considering it would be teenagers, but writing the story out it seems more directed to 20somethings. I'm sure it's for people younger than me, and so far I seem to be right based on feedback

[Rhombik]

Gombik is made for kids but in the same way that Adventure Time is made for kids.

It's supposed to be for English language learners.

I hope it will appeal to a lot of cultures but I know that some people might not get some of it. However, I'd rather that then go for broader appeal and lose some of the fun.

[R.n.P]

My target audience are shonen/seinen manga fans

[UrMom]

Never had a target audience in mind to be honest, I just made my comic because I wanted to. I guess, technically, people who like dark subjects and angst would be my target? While I would say adults should be the preferred audience, it depends on how well the person handles it. Sometimes kids can be more mature about adult themes than adults can, I myself grew up watching mature cartoons (Ninja Scroll, Devil Hunter Yohko, etc) and horror movies knowing fully well they weren't real, and never took them seriously.
So my comic is open to anyone who is open to reading it.

[KennDemon]

I guess teens or young adults.

For the longest time I just wrote what my sister or I would be entertained by (since she was my only audience), and I still write similar stuff now. That would make my target audience teens and young adults who feel alone/bored in life, as well as people looking for LGBT stories.

[XzynderVexymous]

For my story Earth's Immigrants I target people like me. People who enjoy a complex and comedic story.

[tayo_rafferty]

Anyone who's 13+ and enjoys reading Fantasy with splashes of Mystery and Action and just a hint of Drama.

[Cielle]

I'd say older teens and up who enjoy fantasy-mystery stories and philosophy. I don't write my comic for a niche audience, and I'd like to think anyone could enjoy it, but who is to say? I'm creating a comic I would enjoy reading, so maybe my audience is people like me.

[Shanny8]

Anyone who likes to read various genres of comics...

[KingsClubComics]

My audience is: 60% male, 40% female (near to it), Mature readers between 25 to 60 years old (data collected from 5 hosting and peeping the subscriber profiles), American comic book based (non super hero, but crime drama. non supernatural themed), readers like classic page format the most (despite I'm posting here as mobile oriented), genre Pulp Neo Noir Crime Drama and Conspiracy thriller. I knew for whom I was creating for, and the numbers confirm it when I uploaded the stuff. It means... a very specific niche genre which is much more niche online than in the "printed realm". And you know what? I LOVE dealing with my mature audience! For me, they are the best!

[modrawmanga]

I feel like mature audiences tend to be more invested to the content they really like?
cos in general, adults have less time than teenagers, so they choose the content they like more carefully instead of treating it like a disposable findings althought it depends on each individuals I guess....

[toddcmoshier]

My comic is essentially what I was and am into in comedy which stems from anime like Bobobo. So people into that sort've humor style would be my target audience. Sort've niche but one that I truly love.

[sarahrebecca58]

Honestly latest book had been 25-35 year olds. It's so hard to determine, because it really depends on the book.

[purrlpankras]

For Two Faced, I was aiming for mid-teens to adults. But apparently alot of 12 year old's read it...

[OgonoArtFamily]

For my comic Osca , I make sure to appeal to myself first--regradless of anyone else's options. I've had a "former" friend who would constantly annoy me on how my story should go. It's called MY vision for a reason, haha. I'm my biggest fan and my greatest critique. Similar to my artwork, I critique the story to see if it passes by me (I'm really picky in my taste).& I love entertainment!

But at the same time, I understand my motives for making my comic is to inspire people through storytelling. My target audience would be directed towards ages 15+ . But, the comic gets a lot darker to be secretly 18+. At the end of the day, I feel everyone can watch and learn from it

[yondoloki]

I'm not sure... generally I just make whatever I would want to read, but I talked with a publisher at a festival once and showed him some of my work, and he said early teen to teen girls, so I'll go with that?

[shaylafarley5]

I have yet to figure that out, but my style type is a mixture of manga and western style. Or that's what others tell me sometimes.

[KingsClubComics]

I agree! I'm an old lady with very little time in my hands, and because of that I'm a picky person. But, dude, when I like a content, I REALLY like a content; following it as a loyal fan (and buying the stuff related to it). And being a creator, I know how hard is putting a content together, so I have all the respect for all creations ^^ (but, I'm a fan of the few).

[lil-sea-salt]

my target audience is girls 13-18. But my actual demographic is more like 16-25 according to where Dead End Florals was published previously.

I am a real true fan to a very few things out there, but they hold a special place in my heart for a long time
