How To Make A Living As A Manga Or Comic Creator (Make Money Selling Your Books!)

Apologies for commenting on an older video, but I only discovered your channel today.

Thank you so much for generously sharing this, it’s a brilliant video; super-helpful, concise and greatly appreciated. I wish you well in your work 🙏

I'm making my own manga that is based like demon slayer, one punch man, jujutsu kaisen, and there are references but i think it will be a bad Idea but most of the reference is demon slayer, i'm not a big fan of kimetsu but in my manga, the uniforms, swords, fighting styles ( breathing style but it's more different ), lore and some places, etc. I dont think this is gonna be Shonen but i already made 1 book.

What if you cant draw dont you still need to find someone who can draw your character and share the money with them

You don't have a patron or website or merch site it seems

Nice haircut though 👀

@Midnight Do u savvy any manga publishers & editors??

Thank you! Great video ❤

How much should I charge?

You're so pretty..

You are really cute.

You are very insightful , keep it up!

How to write stories without drawings? I'm really desperate to know

This is great information. I’m a voice actor making his first book. It’s my first time so I’m really thankful you made this video

You can create a pilot for the Manga and upload for free

How about making vertical panel comics more entertaining and enjoyable rather plain simple? check out my application, I made it especially to make your comics more enjoyable with an opportunity to build fanbase with passive income in the long-run if you became successful🔥. I watched multiple translators (who are not even the comic creator) making passive income using similar approach to my app. let me know in the comments your thoughts and suggestions 🙂

If you give your characters a birthday and make art of the characters telling them happy birthday your fans will spread the news like a wildlife getting you more readers

I just finished my first volume of my manga !! Lilith! I just finished it and is now for sale on Amazon!!! And I can put a memory in all your recommendations♥️ now is about making part 2 and go on!!

Anyone here intrested in making manga? Im currently looking for an artist to draw my story .. let me know if you're interested

Can you tell me what will happen when some one copy paste my work how do I patent it ??

This is great advice, thank you!

SmackJeeves was shut down in December 2020, and a lot of web comics are lost. However there are still archives online, which is how I found an old web comic from 2006 that I was drawing, inking, colouring, and lettering for a then-friend. I managed to download the archived pages/images, and now looking for a new place that accepts standard comic book format to re-upload my work.

You really opened my eyes. I saw a video about the "dark truth of manga artists" and almost gave up. But then I searched "how to make a living from manga" and you showed up.
What I see is that Patreon is a great plataform for us artists get our money and interact with the fans.
Thank you so much!

Absolutely gorgeous white woman

Umm Ik its been a year, but I emailed you, on this question, whats a good print on demand company? Like that will print it and ship it

Is this also for novel or light novel

Sounds so cool!
I’m in the art field and during the Covid I was able to gather some ideas.
Thanks a bunch Midnight X!

I am only just starting to create my own Web comics on webtoon but I want to make a living out of it someday thanks this video was so helpful

I am going to start a manga and then the anime because my cousin works at bandai and i love to draw

Reaching adults by advertising in MAGAZINES? Er....

Thanks for this! Now I feel more educated and hopeful about making a comic!

Thank you this video really helped me. Im halfway way there getting my volume 1 done for my comic book called Chroniclez Journeyz digitally copy rights of Sava-Nation Designs . I would love for you to check it out when done.

Btw, Junji Ito is still alive!
I was concerned at first, that he died… judging from how you talked about him XD

I want to write and publish my manga but at the moment I’m trying to go to law school. Is it still possible to publish my manga and still have a second job?

Thanks for the tips, I can finally know how to publish it in a batter way

gosh how are you so cuuuuuuuute!!!!!

Loved these tips and positive message.

شكراً 😩❤❤

Great content, thanks for putting your advice online :)

i see, i think online would be the way to go for me since i a m indeed a begginer, thanks for the tips and all

Does this apply to light novels as well?

So beautiful blue eyes.

I’m a good writer but I can’t draw 😃👍

I've had my manga story in my head for over a decade, I'm finally making a start on it. Very new to screen tones and paneling but I'm about 6 pages through so far. Your advise has been really helpful.

Japanese manga artist make 600usd

Midnight, you're a baller! :D This was helpful and informative, thank you for your tips! I enjoyed this one very much!

My day job is not that creative, the hours are long but flexible in terms of days and also pays very well enough.. And still, I just can't stop thinking about quitting, exploring what's out there, and ultimately making the leap to being a full time freelance artist. Then self-publishing as many book as I can. Isn't it crazy? Am I going to crazy?

Anyways..

Wait, the background music is 'Path of the Wind' from Totoro, isn't? Awesome taste in music I can tell..

P.S.: There was an belgian comic and later cartoon series in the 80s called "Les Schtroumpfs" or "The Smurfs" in lot of other countries by a belgian artist named Peyo. Well, I'm just bringing it up because your eye color reminds me of the classic Smurfs blue color. It's a very beautiful color and very very pretty eyes all together!! Or, I wonder, how would YOU describe the color of your eyes?

Take care and best regards, Dan!
