Hi Guys! For todays webtoon artist rambles blog post I wanted to share some ways you can make money from your webtoon for any webtoon comic artist who may be struggling with figuring out what streams of income they can create for their comics.
WEBTOON CANVA is different from the featured artist use see in the front page of of LINE WEBTOON. Typically Featured artist are paid on a monthly base due to them having a signed contract with the company. The amount of payment can vary sometimes based off of what featured webtoon artist have shared on twitter.
Some artist make more depending on their page views and some make less but typically their is a base amount given for each episode uploaded. You don’t receive a base payment for your webtoon episode published if you are posting with WEBTOON CANVA free platform since that is a free to use service.
But what if you’re not a featured creator on LINE Webtoon? Don’t worry, there are still ways to earn money. Here’s a list of options to consider:
- Sponsorships or collaborations with brands or companies to promote different digital tools or assets that you use to create your webtoon
