Commenting on other people's comics has helped me in the past on forums like Duck and Comic Fury ^^;

Hi there! Engaging with other creators comics is a great suggestion from HeadyPidgeon offered. Another suggestion would be to look into planning ways to self promote. There are tones of different ways, and lots of different social media to choose from. It helps to understand who your audience might be, even a guess is a good place to start!

The staff and I have created a few articles to explain some ways you can grow your readership, and I'll list them here for you:

4. This article teaches you how to look at your GlobalComix analytics and know which self promotion posts work, and where your readers are coming from, both from your self promotion and from other places online! It can be helpful to find new places to try that you didn't think of before: https://globalcomix.com/news/details/413/creator-tips-and-tricks-25-how-to-read-your-globalcomix-analytics

I mean my promotion is instagram and facebook but nothing is helping and i check my analytics no one has seen it is my art that bad that no one wants to read?

@mpsychic-witch I don't think it's at all about the quality of the art. I took a look at your comic and I think the paywall might be too soon. With one panel per page, I'm wondering if it's not giving enough story for the reader. Do you know how long your Dracula series will be in total by chance?

@mpsychic-witch How long have you been making comics? Is this your first time?

mpsychic-witch posted Mar 3, 2023

I just started going to comics again but for trying to earn an income this time but my art people say no one will read

mpsychic-witch posted Mar 3, 2023

I set it for free but I'm trying to earn some income its going to be a long series but I might redraw it and see where that takes me

You need to spend time continuing to work on improving and posting anything you feel like sharing but your art is not at a point where you should be thinking about trying to monetize it.

Don't give up but don't focus on making money right now.
