How to get more readers on WEBTOON for your webcomic

[@csoniah4432]

I thought this was webtoon channel's lmao because of the editing design of the video , great job !

[@SteveConleyArt]

Thanks! This was my first video like this. :D Good luck with your webcomics!

[@artist-hime2901]

I’m still working on the first chapter. I’m scared, tbh. I’m not very popular on social media at all. I have like negative infinity social skills, lol. But thank you for the specific and detailed information. It really helped.

[@SteveConleyArt]

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. :)

[@justincowgill8875]

My plan was to make animated trailers for my webcomic.

[@dreamingblue3939]

ooo that sounds cool! What's the name? I'll check it out

[@iamdrewsauce]

YES! I’ve done this, and it’s really fun! I want to start making motion comics as well, for those who want sound effects and music while they read 😁

[@jazsmansmith9893]

This is the best idea I just wish I had the time myself

[@silverrose9407]

Same and I want to make a yt so I can make short animations for my story

[@koppii2]

Yeah that's exactly my plan too because of the Japanese Manga Marketing

[@nmydesign]

That no.1 fact is true. As much as some people think they only draw and post it because they love it, the audience for their webcomic is still important and time is the key to success to gain more subscribers. Thank you for the tips, master!

[@csoniah4432]

@@LeoArmada Yes i am working from 9 till 12 am , then from 14 till 17, everyday now and doing 5 - 10 painels per day , my hands are not hurting anymore i am using some stuff in my arm to make it more comfortable lol and i am actually surprised by how fast i am improving. 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.

[@LeoArmada]

@@csoniah4432 drawing webtoons is the fastest way to improve,only downside is after doing 10 episodes you look back at ep 1 and relise its shit LUL,im glad its not hurting you no more,and when you get used to the work its not hard,but just time consuming,its seems like you are working hard,very nice,i am too a bigginer but let me give you this edvise,DO NOT do more then 25 panels per episdoe unless it is to end a scene then go over of stay under,because on webtoons,the most important thing is going weekly whiles having deasont amount of panels per episode,so dont do 140 panel episodes,short ones but freak went

For the four people who disliked this, what's wrong with you??? These are some great simple tips, I know I'll use, that I haven't heard anyone else talk about. Switching up your genres?

You’re technically insulting a whole genre lol. I would never read a romance with trashy art.

[@sstarsodaa]

@@kawaiiismymotto6441 well, most BL and GL stories are insulting (NOT SAYING ALL ARE!! SOME ARE OKAY!!) but a lot of them fetishize gays and lesbains and it makes us a little uncomfy being represented the way it usually goes in those comics

[@pepetiredofursht]

@@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.

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.

I just have a small comic called Clover and Nugget, and I've tried a few of the suggestions you mentioned like changing up cover art etc, but I never really thought about changing up the specific times and testing those waters. So thank you!

[@SteveConleyArt]

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.

[@laurenschmidt4351]

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!

[@SteveConleyArt]

I hope the tips help, Rodrigo! As for the cover, the best thing would probably be to try a few different ones and see which ones work best. Just keep in mind, the covers/thumbnails are seen alongside a dozen other thumbnails and you want something that stands out from the crowd.

Great webcomics tips, Steve!

[@SteveConleyArt]

Thanks, Dean!

[@charko6139]

this has so many good tips in it! thank you!

[@Zoodraws]

I was wondering about genre switching, thanks !

[@SteveConleyArt]

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.

Great video Steve! Thank you!

Fantastic simple advice !

What’s your story called?☺️I’ll take a look at it

[@im12batman44]

I have a comic on webtoon called Elemental Adventure. Problem I was facing is time and how I'll run the story. Luckily I have an idea's for the story and the right time thansk to this video

[@adadpapapiro]

Thank you for these tips! This addressed my biggest concern actually. I’m preparing about 50 panels of comics in advance before I officially launch my webtoon, but I kept wondering if multiple updates of shorter pages or one big update would be better. I dream of becoming a webtoons original, but you’re right, Canvas operates on different rules of new and small creators.

[@happycowardlyks5064]

Thank you for the tips, it's really helpful. i'm currently reading a comic on webtoon which title is no is NO. I talked with the illustrator(her psuedo is KuruLife) and she said that people were intentionally rating her comic one star and sending her racial slurs because she's black. Please go support her and give her a higher rating, she is talented and deserves to know it !

Omg thank you for the tips! I wish I get staffed picked though 😭 my comics is A Cup of Coffee. it's on Romance & slice of life genre.

This video is amazing, do you think you can post your process on making webcomics soon, i would love to know your techniques.

[@dreamingblue3939]

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]

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.
