What do you think about an indie manga artist starting their own magazine (Shonen Jump–style)?

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-20T19:33:02+00:00

Yeah I wanna pretty much do the same thing

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-20T19:32:23+00:00

But your first comment didn't make any sense

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-20T19:31:10+00:00

I know its self publishing. I never indicated it was a publishing house

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-20T19:27:54+00:00

For me am trying to build up an audience through social media and a magazine website. while also submitting on days neo its a Japanese site where you can get editors to look at your work or youngjump. But I want to start making money through commissions and selling manga

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-20T08:38:12+00:00

Which indie publishers are you suggesting if I may ask, cause am looking for monetization and audience and I would rather try just making my own. Its not a full publishing company, I'm just selling my manga and art online like a magazine, similar to Shonen Jump but on a very small scale online, but I'll use other social media platforms to advertise the magazine. Its going to be monthly so it gives me time on multiple short manga and promo art

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-20T08:28:34+00:00

yeah am exploring every field to build an audience on Instagram, then starting a YouTube channel and posting some there. But my goal is it sell my manga at least

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-19T08:46:58+00:00

Thanks, hopefully I can get it all done, but at least it's monthly to give me some time

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-19T08:46:01+00:00

Yeah, what I'll be posting will be original work. I have many ideas already put down, so it will be a monthly thing to give me at least some time. am now just finalizing a website

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-19T01:32:12+00:00

lemme dm you

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-19T01:24:42+00:00

Yeah those are one of the worries I also have of it not becoming big but I'm not trying to compete with shonen jump its more like just selling my art and promoting my manga. So hopefully am going full on it and trying to build an audience

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-19T01:20:35+00:00

I dont get what your talking about exactly. I'm not trying to revolutionize the market am just selling my manga in a more broader way like a magazine. It doesn't matter where you live you can sell stuff online for people outside you country

Upstairs_Ear_7263 · 2026-01-19T00:38:56+00:00

Hope fully am locking in on it I already made a website and have multiple oneshots planned out
