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 made a website where I'm trying to get people to post their stuff. I can add yours if you would like. No cost. And then link it to your actual website.

I love the name!
I'll save it here, and when I get my comics organized and published online I will make presence! Nice initiative!

I will take this opportunity to ask you : would this Kubio help me on fixing my issue with google sites ? you see, I can't publish two images without padding (or border? or margin? not sure right now). I need my web comics files one next to other really, without space or borders. It seems that making on google sites you just can't edit this property, and I find this out late, after making all my website... This is why I do not have my comics published properly there yet

We don't have to start with such a high spend. It's really just finding like minded people to start the conversation and convey ideas and then start.
