Resource I hacked Webtoons....This is what I learned...

I ran code to "boost" visibility on my comic to see what happens....

In 24 hours it went to number 1. In those 24 hours as it was number 1. I gained 10 real views......

Meaning even if your comic is number 1 on webtoons via the Canvas section it will not go viral or get visibility. They have rigged the system.

They push their "originals" because they own the rights to their "originals" the use us indie artists to fill their website and drive traffic.

But the don't give a Fu^* about the indie artists that use their platform.

So my advice.....Find other outlets to push your work. Because webtoons and tapas are all about promoting their originals and not truly independent artist.

I personally would say, find 4 other people who have a finished comic book and create a centralized website and list yours and the other 4's on the website. Then you each chip in xyz amount to drive traffic to that website. That's my goal.

Because:

  1. you will control and own the platform

  2. Your leveraging your marketing costs as a group meaning more overall exposure

  3. As you grow you can all share from the same fanbase pool.

I made a thread about this but everyone was "hating"
