@@TambriArt I pray that you have all the happiness and success in life. I've been in a point that I thought there is no hope for me but good things happen and here I am still standing.
What you said about capitalizing on momentum is so true!! my comic was featured last month so I posted every week and got 1500 subs in a month. Also I think heartwarming romance fits Fairy Lantern perfectly. ✨️🧚♀️
It really only should be done as a hobby at this point. There was a 5 year period where you could make $100+ very easily and even $1-2k/month if you worked hard and stuck with it. Now it's only an evenings and weekend hobby.
as someone who started working with webtoon 7 years ago. im telling you. THIS IS SO CRAZY THIS IS SO HARD! the only reason people came to canvas was because webtoon was paying artists 1000$ a month. and its really crazy. if someone wants to make a life out of it. they become a complete loser.
Yea. It's become even more challenging to be a webcomic creator and earn decent money from it. I'm still trying to figure that one out. For now, hobbyland it is. 🫡
It's weird how inconsistent the amount of money per view is. It fluctuates so much. I'm also an ad revenue canvas creator and the lack of provided stats/transparency from webtoon grinds my gears
tambri : i'm not hear to fearmonger me : i had no expectations, you cannot disappoint me. (no seriously, i assumed you weren't even paid until your comic was an original)
I was thinking of making a webtoon comic and decided to start now...I already made 4 episodes ( out of 10. I wish to have 10 episodes ready as a head start before I publish)in my sketchbook and will start the digital process after 😋 Im geniunely interested in the ad revenue since it will be a nice income for me ( I'm 20 and live in Central America, every dollar is worth double here) and I wish to do webtoon comics (and other means of art) full time one day
I'm absolutely grateful for this insight, it's so interesting to see the development, so thank you very much for it. Also I think webtoon content on youtube is a very underrated niche but one that can do very much for you if you do the work (I may be biased bc personally its my fav youtube niche, but I'm also not denying that it can be pretty difficult to get views).
Honestly it's much less than I expected. Oh well, it is like a rewarding yourself as a creator. But not much of a career. By the way, you have a nice voice that can help you with TH-cam
I’m currently writing (and doing concept art) my own story in hopes of publishing it in Canvas sometime next year! I wanna go into this with the mindset that I just want to tell a story and I want others to read it. I don’t wanna get overwhelmed by the numbers and potential earnings, if I even make half of what you earn lol (or if I even earn at all 😂). But I just wanna know from you if it’s worth it to post in Webtoon. I’ve been doing research, watching yt videos about artists voicing their concern and frustration with Webtoons and how it’s not worth it anymore.
I still think it's worth it in helping find your audience and fostering a community around your story. But yea, money-wise, I'm still looking to find better ways to support my comic financially, and as I'm discovering new things, I want to keep sharing them here on my channel and help out as many indie webcomic artists as I can. ☺️ Good luck with your story!! That's very exciting!
@@TambriArtthank you for doing the good work for small artists! Wishing you the best also in your art journey! Was wondering btw, if Webtoons picked up Fairy Lantern for Originals, would you go for it?
@meekofortin14 When i first started, it would have been a yes without any hesitation. But now, I honestly don't know if I would. My current life obligations leave little room for comic work. It would really depend on how much they would be willing to work with me in keeping a good balance. Also, if they ever did, I'd want to keep the Canvas version of my comic up for future artists to see the difference between canvas and originals. I think it could be very helpful. But that's just me, and a lot of hypothetical stuff. 😆 thanks for asking!
Read all of Solo Leveling... had to of spent close to 80 bucks on tapas. First arc on chainsaw man was 59bucks plus tax for the paperback... I think doing 1 arc free with ad revenue is good as long as the next arc is paid to read. If your readers aren't sucked into the world by the end of the 1st arc to the point they gladly will pay for the 2nd arc, I think it is time to use everything you learned and build a new world, or use the same world but with characters/plot and do another 1arc free /2nd arc pay until the formula works.
Currently finish my firts episode and making my second I dont have clip studio paint so I'm using a drawing app that was already on my laptop it was called paint 3D, I works well its simple but I would love to buy clip paint studios it will make it easier, I want to use my own money because, independence
Patreon seems pretty consistent if you have sustainable rewards. Advertise it where your main audience is. In my case, putting it at the end of a completed comic episode (in the body, not the authors note) seemed to be the most effective. For your own website, ideally, you'd have your comic there, and naturally, readers would just click over to the shop side of your website after reading. But yea, marketing is its own big challenge.
Thanks. I’ll look into all that. If I’m gonna spend my time on it, it’s important to understand how you can make as much as possible with it. I appreciate your answer.
With that many subs, charging even 1 buck per episode would generate nice returns. Totally think 1 buck an episode and 50 bucks per Arc is reasonable in the states.
That checks out. I've seen quite a few creators do a "fast pass" type model by making more episodes available on patreon. It seems to work pretty well.
Heyy, I wanted to ask if you know what kind of webtoon would be too violent for advertisement? Cause I wanted to do an action webtoon, which would have a lot of fighting scenes and depressing moments. Would for example Action in a niveau like Demonslayer or jujutsu kaisen be too violent for webtoon?
Thank you for making this video! It is very useful! I have a question too: do you know if the payments are the same for different countries? I love your channel is very informative :D
Hi @vcali1319, I just watched this video (which was incredibly helpful) and I wanted to tell you my experience since I'm from a different country. Canada is usually categorized as North America but Webtoons does pay me in American USD so when it translates to our dollar, the payout gets is often higher because our dollar is lower. Because of this I believe it doesn't matter what country you're from, what you earn is always distributed in American and then your account converts it.
Hey, I’m trying to find a way to publish my own comic on canvas but I can’t figure out how to publish using iPad. Can anybody please help😭😭IVE BEEN STUCK FOR TOO LONG.
Ooff. That sucks, but thankfully there are other ways to make money from your comic. You can still use your comic to promote something like maybe art commissions or a shop where you sell merch of your comic and other things.
There is a tactics I want to try. WT implemented this Advance Read for money thing. We do not know the % we’re getting from payments from advance readers. How about putting all your advance read material under Patreon? The audience pay you directly for the advance read
@@peterxyz3541 I've seen that tactic work really well for a lot of webcomic creators. My personal problem with it is that I don't have a buffer of episodes to feel comfortable doing it. 🤣 maybe one day!
@@TambriArt oh I see thank you for clarifying. I'm about to launch my long form comic on webtoon and looking at the ad rev . I'm wondering if read-along-comic videos on yt is a thing. I've had dms for my other comic to voiceover and it got me thinking if this could be another revenue stream 🤷🏻♀️
Roughly, yes. And it does seem to fluctuate depending on the season. (Like the holiday gauntlet generally seems to have more ad revenue October to December. )
Quick review: it's okay. Just another way fans can support their favorite webcomic creators. Still not as effective as Patreon or Ko-fi. Also the cuts taken out of the super like by both webtoon and the card transaction provider leave the creator with roughly 30% of it. So there's the controversy. Not worth the time and effort making a whole video about. I'd rather work on my comic. 🤣
@TambriArt There were a lot of Canvas amateur who was struggling to get the requirements for ads on their webtoon to make revenue only 40000 monthly views plus 1000 at least subscriber now withel the super like only 500 or 1000 like can activated it and if the reader like it the reader can pay you directly, Patreon take 25% 😉 by the way, i think for 125 billions visitors annually webtoon is the best platform right now to get amators creators recognition.
@TambriArt fun fact Did you know if you oublish your webtoon in other languages like Spanish you can get three time more reader, why because in english to much creators are posting if someon post in the canvas section in english in 10 minutes the episode published is not in the first page anymore while in spanish it can stay for days , because there's more readers than creators in spanish.
@webtoondemocraticroleplayingga yep. Patreon leaves a much better cut for the creators currently. Every little bit helps, though, so having super likes is just another way fans can help creators out. I am glad they lowered requirements for Ad revenue on canvas.
If your comic got accepted to be an original by weebton company they will pay you per episode for a specific number of chapters and the payout depends on the contract , for example if you signed a contract whit weebton that say "1000$ per episode for 50 chapters then they expect you to post 50 chapters on time in return for 50000$ so in general they will pay you 1000$ per episode you post" but this depends on the money you agreed on in the contract from what I heard the payout can varies from 500$ to 2500$ per episode , that's for originals but OFC canvas get paid very very very less , you should have a good art style and a decent story to be selected as an originals , I only see canvas creators complaining here on TH-cam about the payout you can't expect a small app to pay you cash for your bad webcomic
Is there still creator reward which pays $100 dollar per month for 40k views or it has removed? Tell me please because if i start my own webtoon but even hitting 100K views and getting only 10 to 40 dollars it will be very disappointing.
yep. unfortunately, Webtoon Canvas got rid of the creator rewards bonus program. but as far as I know, both Tapas and NamiComi still have theirs which are pretty good. it's harder to reach the same view counts since both platforms are much smaller than Webtoon.
hmmm probably manually. I'd imagine one person would have to manage the pay for both, but don't quote me on it. I'm a solo team. lol! You would have to ask an artist/writer combo--which there are quite a few on webtoon canvas.
As far as I know, they're not ending ad revenue. It looks like they've even expanded it by lowering the requirements for ad rev. It also looks like Webtoon the company is going from private to public which is pretty interesting. It might mean more money for creators (original and canvas soon) I hope.
@@TambriArt and what do you estimate by your experience they make? Cause I wouldnt mind putting my heart and soul into something but im trying to determine if its even worth investing my time into if that makes sense If people are at 100k readers and doing no better than you I'd say the platform itself isnt a viable option for people who treat their hobbies as investments
I'd say look for an artist who's willing to work with you on your comic. Or you can go the novel route. There's quite a few wattpad novels that have been adapted for webtoon. So focus on your strengths in writing a kickass story. Good luck!
honestly that is simultaneously more and less money than I expected
