How to gain subscribers? My advice as an experienced creator
From my experience ( about to reach 5k)
Firstly, your cover/pfp matters the most. Social media and all won’t matter much. If you want big audience, you can only get so if webtoon wants it. And the first criteria webtoon looks at is cover. If your cover if clickable/attractive then there is high chance you will be featured on front page. Chapter comes after. The first click bait is cover. Second is posting episodes faster. Yes! Webtoon doesn’t give two shits about how long or how detailed your work is, if you give faster updates, you are godly, thus increasing your chances to appear on readers feed. Third, if your story is not fluffy but mature then try to censor very carefully so that your episodes don’t get taken down. Frequent removal might make you a threat or annoyance in eyes of webtoon (experienced this) Fourth: try to be reaaaalllllyyy active in first 3 months. You should update 3 episodes in start together because webtoon give subscrib option at 3rd ep. After that, Update like crazy. Update matters the most to webtoon. Fifth: try having mutual webtoon artists friends on Instagram and other sites so you can do banner Swap, collabs and gain general advice from them. Make sure the genre of your friends webtoon is same as yours. Like mine is a bl so my friends are always bl creators. Having a action creator won’t benefit me as their audience will be hardly interested in my comic. Sixth: be consistent. This advice is overused but is most crucial. My comic literally hit 2.5 k in a week because of good art and story but due to studies I had to go on an unannounced hiatus. I posted like 1 episode after 6m then disappeared again for 6months. Then half my already subscribed audience got dead and it took me quite an effort to again rise back.
Hope you find this helpful. Enjoy your journey and don’t give up. GOOD LUCK.
