Oh boy!

As long as you cw it properly an 18+ image isn't that bad :) Provided, of course, that the comic is 18+. For reach; use hashtags - since people can follow them and the feed is chronological they have punch. 3 - 5 is a good amount. Boost your comic toots often too.

Another thing you can do is talk with people who shares your interests. It's a bit hard to get out of the stand-up version of social media that is fb/X/etc, but it's rewarding in the long run.

@MarthaCrimson yeah! That is what I'm noticing! Before here I was already in bsky and I feel the same, that it is not a place for being passive and just going with the tide. Which is a good thing!

@renatozechetto Great to see more comics people on Fedi, unfortunately I don’t have anything to offer on the technical side. You might try the (hashtag) GetFediHelp, and maybe checking out that (hashtag) WordPress feed to see if it’s in anybody’s profiles/bios for someone to reach out to.

Hello and welcome! I use Wordpress myself, although admittedly updating it has been on the back burner recently.

@JenJen has definitely gone through the whole rigamarole of organising a Patreon replacement with Wordpress, and iirc she's using Paid Memberships Pro with WooCommerce.

I can't remember what newsletter plugin she uses now, so if she's not stuck in deadline hell she might be able to help. There may even be a video about it.

@feff @renatozechetto @JenJen cool.

Does that plugin also support #Monero?

Cuz U.S. based and/or sexworker-denying payment services are a no-go for me.

@renatozechetto @anderssonHQ for tips, "be a human, not a brand" is honestly the core of it

oh, and if you have the spare energy and you want to reach a queer audience, I'd recommend an instance that's a bit less block-happy than mastodon.art

@renatozechetto Hello and thank you for sharing your lovely painting !
I've heard others comic artists say Wordpress's MailPoet plugin is great for newsletters. I don't have any wordpress tips, but https://comixcleric.com is coming up as a wordpress alt~

To reach people,you can check https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverse to add to your posts!

There are also groups you can post to to share your artwork more directly to anyone that opts into following the group https://about.fedigroups.social/directory

Not to my knowledge. You'd probably have to ask the PMP devs or Monero devs.

I know Jen uses Elavon and maybe ccBill?

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

@feff @F3715H CCBill for sex worker things. Elavon is more complicated. They accept me, but I make tittie art. If I was doing proper sexwork they probably would have issues.

@renatozechetto@mastodon.art idk about reaching people here in the fediverse to get eyes on your Wordpress site. I’ve been on the fediverse for almost three years and my music endeavors have been mixed. I get people to link to my Linktree site fairly often, but my Wordpress site where I have tried to sell music and paintings is a bit of a dud. One reason is that most of my followers are fellow musicians and artists, while what you need to do is find hashtags that appeal to your target audience and use those hashtags to boost your posts. Also, follow as many people as possible, only about half of people you follow will follow back, if my experience translates. Also, the audience here in the fediverse is a bit skimpy, with about 11 million users and only about 10% of those are actively using the fediverse.
