LINE Webtoon and Patreon team up to invest up to $3,600,000 in webcomics

If you are a web comics creator, this is probably a dream come true.

LINE webtoons are very successful in South Korea (employing hundreds of full-time creators) and now they are looking to duplicate that in the English market.

Webtoon x Patreon for Monetization on Discover

Webtoon is teaming up with Patreon to bring all Discover creators a new investment program and integration. Starting today, creators will have the option to link their Patreon accounts to their comics on Webtoon and let readers pledge directly for ongoing support, and on top of it, LINE Webtoon will additionally pledge up to $1,000 per month per qualifying creators for a year as outlined below.

Why Webtoon x Patreon?

Both Patreon and Webtoon are creator-friendly platforms dedicated to fostering new talent and helping creators monetize their work in the digital realm, while still granting creators full ownership of their own IP.

Another way the web is changing how traditional media is being published and consumed.

Anyone can publish and if your work is popular enough, you can make a living at it.
