Wix's marketing team is on the ball; they know that creators are tired of dancing to Webtoon's tune and are feeling a little burnt about other platforms. I've been running my own webcomic on a personal page since 2013 and there are advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Sooner or later, something will go wrong and you either need to become a techie really quick, or hire someone. But as mentioned, you get to be the captain of your own ship and set your own schedules, look, widgets, etc. that maximize your comic's experience.

@mysteriouswolven 3 жыл бұрын

Bruh, this is super cool. I like that you can take pages off the subscription plan as new pages come out so there's a reason for people who cannot pay to still come back and keep reading like on webtoon, and those that can afford to pay can still contribute.

This was so useful, thank you ♡, ive made one a while ago when making my first unpublished webtoon, but it was kinda difficult for me, it took longer than id like to get stuff set up and i wasnt too happy with it. I love that you made this video and i feel more comfortable to try it again ♡♡♡

@Pluvias 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for sharing this, it's super useful and simple! I'm wondering though, what if you wanted to monetize the website with Ads instead using Google Adsense, do you have an idea whether it's doable? And how easy/hard it would be to implement? Running a subscription model is an amazing way to earn. But in reality, most people would want to read for free, and would rather wait than pay that $1/month. Thus, that would make the website more of a liability than an asset. I believe running ads can bring good compensation to us creators for the views we'd receive.

This video is extremely helpful. I tried this out and successfully made a test website. I learned a lot. But I realized that the quality of my images/pages are good on the laptop, but when I read it on my phone. It's very compressed. It very visibly ruins the quality and reading experience. Is this fixable? If yes, how ? Did anyone else also have this problem? Note: I am using the free version. So maybe that's just the issue.

@MariMarisol298 Ай бұрын

@sonsonny6589 Sorry, I don't speak English. Talvez debas ver el tamaño de tus páginas de cómic, al ser demasiados grandes para los píxeles de un celular no se verá bien. Al crear tu página de cómic en tu computadora, comprueba desde tu celular si es legible. Espero haberte ayudado 😊

@kyupiangel90 2 күн бұрын

@@MariMarisol298 Translation: "You should really take a closer look to the size of your comic pages, because they can be too big in pixels for a cellphone screen, so i really recommend that, when you do your comic pages, you check with your phone if the size is the correct one for a good mobile reading as well, checking if it readable or not. I hope it was usefull 😊" (I'm a spanish speaker as well, so, te lo traduje x ti mi pana, de nada.)

I'm going to do this because I uploaded a Dark Fantasy to webtoon, and they removed it because it was "too violent." Their reasoning was "gratuitous violence." I was pissed off and I'm not going to let webtoon make me forcibly censor my story and my vision. The violence is to set the tone of the story. It's a messed up world.
