It's a premium series. They usually split 50-50 but I'm not sure if it's less in this case because it has to be translated as well or if translations are already included in the deal.
Minimum 50%? That's ridiculous. Taking complete advantage of the artist. Wish I could pay directly to the artist. That'd be better.
Yeah, it sucks but it's still the best way for the vast majority of creators to earn money. At least the author of a premium series gets an editor and Tapas then basically becomes their publisher. For everyone else, Tapas is just a site on which they can upload their comics. They can make money with adds and tipping but Tapas still keeps 30% of the add-revenue (again, they do nothing other than providing a platform and still keep 30% of it). The tips go directly to the author but even the most popular series aren't tipped well. Most people tip significantly less than $1 ( the amount of people who only tip 25-50 ink, which is about 3-6 cents is quite shocking) and there aren't enough supporters.
So yes, it sucks that Tapas keeps 50% but out of all the shitty options there are, going premium seems to be the least worst.
Thanks for the info. How do you too?
Sorry. How do you TIP?
When a series isn't a premium series there should be a support button next to the author's name when you klick on "more" in the summary. Could be different for the mobile version or app though.
I signed up to Tapas for this manga. Does anyone know the percentage that the author gets from this website?
