Honestly I think growth on this site is a lot fairer and better than other platforms. When my comic was active, I had a steady growth of subs, likes, views and comments per update. I only got a couple comments but the ones I did get were great because it was genuine feedback. The quality of my comic…

I think people hear the advice to "network" by interacting with other creators and turn it into these spam campaigns. It's not networking its just CTRL-V

Not a bot since I guess they're promoting their own comic. (Not like tumblr where all the bots are promoting some obscure anime mmo)

This isn't the first time I've seen people do this, but it's such a lazy and cheap way to promote your comic. How would you like it if someone gave you feedback only to find they'd copied the same message to dozens of other creators? [image]

I work with an artist, because I can't draw very well. I started off trying to do my comic alone - in the form of a serial story but I much prefer script-writing to actual prose. I also love the idea of making my story a visual thing. A nice thing about working with somebody else is that they can br…

My comic is black & white, with occasional coloured panels for emphasis. Nobody seems to mind I don't think, although it wasn't a switch so who knows. Imo I don't think it would affect the overall reception of a comic or anything like that, I mean The Walking Dead is black and white. A lot of mangas…

So far I've joined Webcomic Underdogs as a facebook group, but it's mostly just other artists amongst themselves sharing tips and discussing comic related stuff etc. But I haven't found other webcomic groups to actually accept my join request... Facebook groups probably wont get very far for promoti…

Skip me! Just replying to donathinfrye Thanks so much Donathinfrye! We've been noticing your likes of the pages stuck_out_tongue The comic is drawn by Betty Swagierczak (@bettyart on twitter) not myself. But I will pass that on, I think she's been improving with every page too, it's great to see! I write the com…

Alright well I'll give it a try, thanks for breaking it down smile

I don't have much luck with twitter, I'm also not too well versed in hashtags. When I update a page and post it I'll usually do #scifi or #webcomics or something (the character limit is pretty restrictive). I've always thought hashtags to be kind of meh, unless it's a trending topic - are people act…

Do you think it's worth advertising my comic via facebook? I get the option to 'boost posts' every time I update, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to run an ad since I can target people who like various things that relate to the comic and all that jazz. Has anyone had any luck with it?

I like the cartoony look, very colorful (and christmassy! Even if it is April! :P) Comic sans is a little bleh but it looks like a fun series smile Here's my latest update: For context, NOVERIUM is a sci-fi series initially following a rescue mission to a prison outpost overrun by a zombie style cont…

ohhhhhhhhhhh I get it (hours later)

...huh? I mean I saw the movie holes but...what?

Hello! Just wanted to introduce my comic Noverium - I'm the writer and creator and it's illustrated by Betty Swagierczak. Noverium is a sci-fi horror with an entirely alien cast. The story so far follows a small crew responding to an SOS from a prison outpost, but it isn't exactly what they expe…
