Here are four tips for growing your webcomic audience and increasing your subscriber count on LINE Webtoon (or "Webtoons" as most of us call it). This focuses on the Webtoon Canvas section.

Hi! Thanks for watching! Please consider liking, subscribing, and ringing the bell for notifications.

This is my first attempt at this kind of instructional video. I hope you like it. I learned a lot in the process and I hope to address things like the too-many jump-cuts and not looking directly at the camera. Like webcomics, the next one is always better. :)
Thanks again for watching - and for reading this stuff! :)

Thanks so much! I've been doing The Middle Age for four years and I'm still trepidatious as I hit the 'publish' button. I think, if we really pour our hearts into these, it's only natural that we're concerned about how each episode is received. Just remember that most readers are rooting for us. They want us to do well. Jerks will be jerks and we're not creating webcomics for them. :)

@@sstarsodaa most of those who makes uncomfortable gay comics are actually the gays themselves literally all of them are either trans, lesbian or a gay men(they look the part too). The one who fetishize are the viewers who are more likely straight. I'm not homophobic but its literally how it is. Yes there are some butterflies who actually makes comics that fetishize them but most of them literally have the slit brow and a checkered polo.

I had so many doubts in the first page, making thumbnails was hard at first, coloring was hard, character design was hard, everything was intimidating and some things still are but i am a little happy now that i realized that is normal to feel like that and at first is frustrating because you are a beginner but you can't give up and have to keep pushing cause you will keep learning and improving untill you get to a comfortable point where you feel happy with what you've done.

I think as I work to make more buffer episodes this will be easier to experiment with and I have already selected two genres which I am considering changing as my story develops. The results of this have not made any significant change so far. However, I did add my comic-persona at the end of the comic with a comment about the episode which increased some conversation in the comment section and more engagement with the comic as a whole.

Philip, hi! I checked out Clover and Nugget and the cover art is adorable! I've subscribed! Another recommendation regarding Genre (which I didn't have time to mention because I felt the video was already getting a bit too long), is that you should consider including at least one of the main Genres (Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, Slice of Life, Sci-Fi, Drama, Action, or Superhero). The two Genres you've selected (Animals and Heartwarming) are initially hidden from view under "Others.' If you choose, say, Comedy and Animals, you'll get in front of a lot more people. Definitely something I'd suggest trying.

For help with posting often, I highly recommend not posting your webtoon episodes right after you finish them and save a few episodes for buffers! I know it's tempting to upload right when the episode is completed but save a few! It's nice to have a few episodes completed so you can schedule them for steady upload schedule, and even to have some ready for weeks when you get busy and can't finish comic work as easily. When I was a Canvas creator, I had an unsteady freelance work schedule outside of my comic so I'd make batches of 5 episodes and then post when I finished the 5th one. Then I'd get to working on the next 5 while not having to worry about uploading. I'm currently an Original creator and I have a 10-13 week buffer in case something ever happens so I'm not scrambling or needing to go on hiatus to catch up. Find what works with your life but having a few saved will help keep a steady upload schedule!

Lauren, that's fantastic advice. When my webcomic had twice-weekly updates it saw the most growth. This year has completely thrown off my schedule and thankfully my readers have been patient with me.

@@SteveConleyArt Yeah, keeping a steady pace is hard even if you produce fulltime. Life and other things always happen! Buffers are hard to set up but they’re helpful in case of emergencies. And yeah steady uploads are super helpful with engagement if you can manage it but only at the pace you can realistically go. Great video btw!

Great editing and the format of the video was very easy to follow. I honestly didn't think I'd want to watch the whole thing due to my own short attention span and the fact that it was longer than ten minutes, but you kept it interesting and to the point. Helpful tips too- I hadn't heard these before so I learned some new things. Thanks for sharing :) Edit: Also, I just thought of a question. Not sure if you'll see this, but if you do, do you think it's necessary to already have an audience before airing your first episode? Or, do you have any advice about using social media to advertise your comic? I had no social media or any kind of online presence four months ago, but made an account on Instagram recently because I heard that it's very difficult to gain readers without that.

@SteveConleyArt 3 года назад
Thanks so much, Dreaming Blue! As for your questions, I'm planning to address those very questions at length in a future video but, quickly, I'd say that social media *can* help but it's not as helpful as it once was and losing effectiveness every day. Social media is only a small piece of what we can do to get the word out.

The last tip about 'posting often' really gave me food for thought. How you were saying with the 'long scrolls', that's something I really liked about webtoons and wanted to incorporate myself. So i do have really long episodes that I post weekly, but they take so much time that I've gradually ran out of buffer. In between chapters I'm able to catch back up, but the chapters themselves are gonna start getting longer as well. I might be able to make them shorter but post twice a week rather than the once? Idk, I'm just commenting my thoughts. If you had feedback that would be helpful, the comic itself is called Dark Zone (drama/sci-fi): www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/dark-zone/list?title_no=483773

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll be sure to try out the different times method to see if anything changes. I've always had it set on the same time, but seeing how you mention that can change the statistics overtime, I gotta plan better. My comic's name is "Noir the Bloodborne" by MiniMichi, if there's anyone who wants to take a look. It's fantasy/drama with perhaps a hint of action but we don't have an option to apply a 3rd genre.

@SteveConleyArt
@SteveConleyArt 2 года назад
Brian, I started graphing how long each post appeared on each Genre front page and found that I could, after it dropped off the Comedy front page, switch the comic's genres to a less popular genre and the comic would instantly appear in reverse-chronological order in the new Genre section. In the end, I don't think it would result in more readers since Genre is really about reader expectations - likely the subject of another video.

I think John Gallagher is who pointed me at your video. I am looking at hopefully putting a comic up on Webtoons soon-ish and have been trying to get more insight into the app/service, the other comics there, and how best to launch and (hopefully) find an audience. So I really appreciate your insight, especially from someone in the Canvas section as opposed to a featured creator. Not because I don't value what they have to say as well, but I know it's a long haul if we ever get to that point. I'm really interested to hear about your switching genres though. How did that go with your audience, moving from Comedy to Romance? Have they responded well to it?
@SteveConleyArt
@SteveConleyArt 3 года назад
Hi! I only switched The Middle Age from Fantasy/Comedy to Fantasy/Romance for a short period of time - I didn't really notice a change in the subscription pattern. I made the change because itjust seemed like a more honest label for new readers which I think is important. I could go on about it, so much so that genre expectations may be the subject of an upcoming video. :)
