Tbh at this point you should just make your own webcomic app/website because it would probably be 100 times better than whatever going on with webtoon right now.

hahaha it wouldn't tho, sorry 💀

Here's the fundamental issue with webcomic platforms that a lot of people just don't realize (and why they're so difficult to run successfully):

Storage costs are incredibly expensive, it's why so many sites have limitations on file sizes / page sizes / etc. because all of those images and site info have to be stored somewhere, which costs $$$.

Maintenance costs are expensive and get more so as you grow, you need people who are capable of fixing bugs ASAP and managing the servers and site itself

Financially speaking, webcomics are in a state of high supply, low demand. Loads of artists are willing to create their passion projects, but getting people to read them and pay for them is a whole other issue. Demand is high in the general sense that once people get attached to a webtoon they'll demand more, but many people aren't actually willing to go looking for new stuff to read and depend more on what sites feed them (and what they already like). There are a lot of comics to go around and thus a lot of competition with a limited audience of people willing to actually pay for them.

Trying to build a new platform from the ground up is incredibly difficult and a majority of sites fail within their first year. Not only do you have to convince artists to take a chance on your platform, you have to convince readers to come. Readers won't come if there isn't work on the platform to read, but artists won't come if they don't think the site will be worth it due to low traffic numbers. This is why the artists with large followings who are willing to take chances on the smaller sites are crucial, but that's only if you can convince them to use the site in favor of (or alongside) whatever platform they're using already where the majority of their audience lies. For many creators it's just not worth the time, energy, or risk.

Even if you find short-term success, in the long-term there are always going to be profit margins to maintain. The more users you pull in, the more storage is used by incoming artists, the more you have to spend on storage and server maintenance costs, and that means either taking the risk at crowdfunding (ex. ComicFury) or having to resort to outsider investments (ex. Tapas). Look at SmackJeeves, it used to be a titan in the independent webcomic hosting community, until it folded over to a buyout by NHN and then was pretty much immediately shuttered due to NHN basically turning it into a manwha scanlation site and driving away its entire userbase. And if you don't get bought out and try your hand at crowdfunding, you may just wind up living on a lifeline that could cut out at any moment, like what happened to Inkblazers (fun fact, the death of Inkblazers was what kicked off the cultural shift in Tapas around 2015-16 when all of IB's users migrated over and brought their work with them which was more aimed towards the BL and romancee drama community, rather than the comedy / gag-a-day culture that Tapas had made itself known for... now you deadass can't tell Tapas apart from a lot of scanlation sites because it got bought out by Kakao and kept putting all of its eggs into the isekai/romance drama basket.)

Right now the mindset in which artists and readers are operating is that they're trying way, way too hard to find a "one size fits all" site. Readers want a place where they can find all their favorite webtoons without much effort, artists wants a place where they can post to an audience of thousands, and both sides want a community that will feel tight-knit. But the reality is that you can't really have all three of those things, not on one site. Something always winds up having to be sacrificed - if a site grows big enough, it'll have to start seeking more funding while also cutting costs which will result in features becoming paywall'd, intrusive ads, creators losing their freedom, and/or outsider support which often results in the platform losing its core identity and alienating its tight-knit community.

If I had to describe what I'm talking about in a "pick one" graphic, it would look something like this:

(*note: this is mostly based on my own observations from using all of these sites at some point or another, they're not necessarily entirely accurate to the statistical performance of each site, I can only glean so much from experience and traffic trackers LMAO that said I did ask some comic pals for input and they were very helpful in helping me adjust it with their own takes <3).

The homogenization of the Internet has really whipped people into submission for the "big sites" that offer "everything", but that's never been the Internet, it relies on being multi-faceted and offering different spaces for different purposes. And we're seeing that ideology falter through the enshittification of sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. where users are at odds with the platforms because the platforms are gutting features in an attempt to satisfy shareholders whom without the platforms would not exist. Like, most of us aren't paying money to use social media sites / comic platform sites, so where else are they gonna make the necessary funds to keep these sites running? Selling ad space and locking features behind paywalls.

And this is especially true for a lot of budding sites that don't have the audience to support them via crowdfunding but also don't have the leverage to ask for investments - so unless they get really REALLY lucky in EITHER of those departments, they're gonna be operating at a loss, and even once they do achieve either of those things there are gonna be issues in the site's longevity, whether it be dying from lack of growing crowdfunding support or dying from shareholder meddling.

So what can we do?

We can learn how to take our independence back. We don't have to stop using these big platforms altogether as they do have things to offer in their own way, particularly their large audience sizes and dipping into other demographics that might not be reachable from certain sites - but we gotta learn that no single site is going to satisfy every wish we have and we have to be willing to learn the skills necessary to running our own spaces again. Pick up HTML/CSS, get to know other people who know HTML/CSS if you can't grasp it (it's me, I can't grasp it LOL), be willing to take a chance on those "smaller sites" and don't write them off entirely as spaces that can be beneficial to you just because they don't have large numbers or because they don't offer rewards programs. And if you have a really polished piece of work in your hands, look into agencies and publishing houses that specialize in indie comics / graphic novels, don't settle for the first Originals contract that gets sent your way.

For the last decade corporations have been convincing us that our worth is tied to the eyes we can bring to them. Instead of serving ourselves, we've begun serving the big guys, insisting that it has to be worth something eventually and that it'll "payoff" simply by the virtue of gambler's fallacy. Ask yourself what site is right for you and your work rather than asking yourself if your work is good enough for them. Most of us are broke trying to make it work on these sites anyways, may as well be broke and fulfilled by posting in places that actually suit us and our work if we can. Don't define your success by what sites like Webtoons are enforcing - that definition only benefits them, not you.

Backlinks can work wonders for your website, acting like recommendations from trusted sources. However, there's a right way to go about it! Let's explore seven crucial tips to ensure we make the most of this valuable tool.

Do's:

Prioritize Quality: Focus on obtaining backlinks from reputable and relevant websites. A handful of high-quality links outweigh numerous weak ones.

Foster Relationships: Establish genuine connections with site owners, fostering lasting and organic backlinks through natural interactions.

Anchor Text Relevance: Ensure that the anchor text aligns with the linked content, enhancing its resonance with search engines.

Context is Key: Embed backlinks within contextually relevant content, aiding search engines in recognizing their significance.

Say No to Purchased Links: Steer clear of purchasing backlinks, as search engines penalize this unethical practice.

Stay Relevant: Avoid acquiring links from unrelated sites, which can arouse suspicion. Opt for logical connections within your content.

Abandon Keyword Overload: Refrain from excessive keyword stuffing in the anchor text, as it may trigger penalties from search engines.

Beware of PBNs: Exercise caution with Private Blog Networks (PBNs), as they involve low-quality sites exclusively utilized for backlinks, a practice frowned upon by search engines.

I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that's awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don't do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here's the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn't totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don't blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu's paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪

Link Building for Small Businesses: Simple Strategies That Work in 2025

Running a small business is hard enough—you’re managing sales, handling customers, and trying to stay ahead of competitors. So when someone tells you, “You need backlinks to rank on Google,” it can feel overwhelming.

The good news? Link building doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, with a few simple, honest strategies, your small business can start building quality links that boost your search visibility—without spending a fortune or hiring a huge SEO team.

Let’s break it down in plain English.

First, what is link building?

Link building is the process of getting other websites to link back to your website. These links are like digital thumbs-ups. Google sees them as signals of trust and relevance, which helps your website show up higher in search results.

For example, if a local news site links to your bakery’s website, Google says, “Hmm, this bakery must be legit.” More trusted links = better rankings.

Why Small Businesses Should Care About Link Building

Here’s the truth: link building isn’t just for big companies. Local and small businesses can benefit even more because it helps you:

Get found in local search results (like “best plumber near me”)

Increase website traffic from Google

Build authority in your niche or area

Outrank bigger competitors with smarter strategies

And the best part? You don’t need hundreds of backlinks to see results—a few good ones can make a big impact.

7 Simple Link Building Strategies for Small Businesses

1. List Your Business in Trusted Directories

Start with the basics. Make sure your business is listed (and consistent!) across platforms like:

Google Business Profile

Yelp

Bing Places

Yellow Pages

Industry-specific directories (like Houzz, Clutch, etc.)

Tip: Use the same name, address, and phone number (NAP) everywhere.

2. Write Guest Posts for Local Blogs

Reach out to local bloggers, community sites, or niche publications and offer to write a short, helpful post. In return, you can include a link to your website.

It’s a win-win: they get fresh content, and you get a backlink and exposure.

3. Join Your Local Chamber of Commerce

Most chambers have a members’ directory, and they often link to your site. These backlinks are great because they’re relevant, local, and trusted.

Bonus: You also build real-world relationships that can lead to even more referrals.

4. Sponsor Local Events or Charities

Support a local sports team, donate to a charity drive, or get involved in a community event. Many of these websites list and link to sponsors—giving you a high-quality local backlink.

And hey, it feels good to give back too.

5. Create Share-Worthy Content

You don’t need a huge content team. A simple blog post like:

“5 Things to Know Before Hiring a Roofer in [Your City]”

“How Our Cafe Sources Organic Beans Locally”

“Top Safety Tips for Driving in Monsoon (by [Your Business Name])”

If it’s useful and locally relevant, people will link to it—or at least share it.

6. Ask for Backlinks from Partners & Vendors

Do you work with suppliers, freelancers, or other businesses? Ask them to add your logo or a short testimonial with a link on their “partners” or “clients” page.

It’s simple, natural, and often overlooked.

7. Respond to HARO or Local News Requests

Sign up for Help a Reporter Out. Journalists look for quotes or local experts. If your comment gets published, you could get a backlink from a news outlet—great for SEO and credibility.

Conclusion: Start Small, Stay Consistent

You don’t need fancy SEO tricks to grow online. Focus on earning a few honest, relevant links each month. It might be from a local blog, a supplier, or a community event—but each one helps you climb a little higher in Google.

Link building for small businesses isn’t about chasing hundreds of backlinks. It’s about building real connections, creating helpful content, and being active in your community—both online and offline.
