Hello Folks, Did you receive the new Plan that was sent by E-mail today? What do you think of it? I felt it was a bit confusing at first glance (distinction between challenger and credit, for example). I would like to discuss it with you Guys! I think it has some potential, though. I´ll be reading …

A theory on Line Webtoon

As far as I know a big loss after a feature is pretty normal. People will actually come back to it when it updates, and many decide its not for them on the second glance.

Patreon Revealed

Oh sorry, I think I was missunderstood. Getting Patrons is definitely a goal, but I don´t know that people get them "through" patreon. I think very few people search through patreon to find someone to back. They will usually find you on a different website, read part of your series and previews, bec…

Patreon Revealed

That sounds good! Hm, luckily, Patreon is different in the sense that most if not all followers you have come from an audience you built up on different websites. Getting followers or backers through Patreon isn´t really your goal. Post your link frequently, and let your followers know about the rew…

Patreon Revealed

I think it will. Once you go ahead with a post, there will be a bar on the right that you have to choose from before you can post. It says "who can see this post?" and you will have various options, from making it public, to only making it available for certain tiers. I usually don´t. When I want …

Patreon Revealed

Hi there! how many subscribers etc. I had about 5000 subscribers. I did wait until I had a certain audience, but you really don´t have to. It´ll be a lot of work to build up your patreon, so you might as well build up patreon and Audience silmultaniously. Regarding the tiers, what does the opti…

How you deal with low results? (comics/novels)

<- this is my reaction haha. Do better next time... when It´s about a series that doesn´t do well for a longer period, I reevalute what might be the problem. Am I not reaching many people because of presentaion, content or reach?

Flat colors vs Basic shading

I don´t think shading is neccesary, but (as @joannekwan already mentioned), you will have to have very strong lines, athmosphere and understanding of colour. I would recomend to you to keep shading for now. Be brave, use a strong shade and put bick and expressive shadows. From there you will automat…

Just finished my comic!

Congratulations on finishing! Your Comic seems really rad, I´ll have to give it a read later! As to finishing comics, my first project took me a year, had about 100 pages, a crime mystery (maybe as encouragement: I never reached a lot of subs or views with it, but learned so much from it!)

Does anyone live with their parents past 18?

Haha, I didn´t exspect that! Hm, if one of your cousins is from Hamburg, that means they are more likely acustomed with the "nothern" part of Germany, that is very much like more nordic countries, Denmark, sweden etc. They produce some very good music, not as densly populated as the rest of germany,…

Does anyone live with their parents past 18?

Not myself, I moved out soon after turning 19 (and finishing school) And that´s fairly common in Germany, too. Honestly, no matter how much I (will) love my children, I would not want them to live in my house past 20 unless it is unavoidable. I want to see them on their own feet, experiencing fre…

How does your Social Media Note at the end of an Episode look like?

Thank all fo you for sharing! It´s cool how many different approaches there are. I feel like they all reflect he different styles used in the comics, too. (you have a cat mascot, too, @Iris-Grimoire ? super cute!) I decided to simplify mine a bit, this is the what the new one will look like: [i…

How does your Social Media Note at the end of an Episode look like?

Hi Guys, I don´t know how many use this practice, but it´s very common on Webtoons: At the end of an episode, you´ll put a little playfull note containing where to follow you on social media, or to like/comment. I think this initially grew from the inability to link in the Webtoons Authors comment…

How many views per update do you have?

I only keep an eye on my webtoon staistics, about 10-15k views upon update, and then 7-3 k the following days until the next update a week later. Definitely decreases with days going by and then stagnant at around 3k until I update again. Edit: checked on tapas, around 500 views per update

Tips on doing a Q&A?

For my first Q&A, I only got a single Question, which went along the lines of "draw the main character in a banana costume". I was a bit dumbfounded at first, but then made a joke out of it - 2 years later (ans 2 more Q&As), it´s become a big running gag between me and my readers, and I now get mo…

What are your favourite toys from the past and from now? And are there any that you’d love to get?

Best time frame to update comic on webtoons?

In my experience, I get the most growth in Subscribers overnight, so american time I´d say from 6-11 pm. Since you can´t shedule your updates I have to update a lot earlier.

How to make living with your comic?

Well then, welcome I don´t do much freelance work, so can´t help you there. Cross promoting means that you promote their series while they promote yours. You can do it with the big theard or approach others/make friends and do it with them.

How to make living with your comic?

Ah sure. You don´t need to get another degree. I´m assuming you´re working a different full time job right now? Well, for Audience; make sure you know what Audience you are aiming for: What is the demographic? teen, young adult, older people? female or male? Certain countries? Look at the content th…

How to make living with your comic?

If you´re going for the online market, it´s very important to attract and sustain a large Audience. Not only will they create revenue for you, but their views will make you attractive to platforms and investors (for ad revenue). If you are going more traditional routes, It would probably be importan…

Licenses and Certification Aren't Necessary

And now you spent your pasttime as a multi milionaire on a random forum on the internet. I would call this a classic Troll allert. Multiple people have read that nice article you´ve presented, and they´ve come to the same conclusion, so I am definitely not wasting any of my time on it

Licenses and Certification Aren't Necessary

Honestly, Good on you for shifting through that article. I would have expected someone sharing his clamis with "evidence" to actually have read their "evidence". This settles this whole thing for me.

Licenses and Certification Aren't Necessary

I am so confused as to why someone would argue for no licensing. Licensing is quality control, and in important branches like Health and Education, those are strictly neccesary. I´m not letting some random dork experiment with me or my education. Sure, there are a lot of problems with the Health "…

Rot in the forum

Ok. I just want to clarify that I don´t know where that rumor orriginated, but I am in a lot of discords (also the one that´s been "trashtalked" these last days ), and I´ve never come accross the statement that anyone is too old for making comics or being on the forum, and I would hate to hear that …
