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!

@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?
