Who says writers are not paid well? The truth is that writers earn a lot depending on the type of content they are writing. Ask digital comics authors and they will tell you just how profitable the industry is for them given the evolution of digital comics over the years.
Comics have been around for some time. With changes in modern technology, a lot of people thought that the comics culture would die out. The truth is that it has just gotten more popular. This is also thanks in part to the popularity of digital comics.
We no longer read comics through a book these days, but we read them online. The platform has changed but the excitement and thrill remain the same. If anything, the overall experience has just been elevated to an entirely new level.
With visual and sound effects incorporated in the comics being read, more people have become enticed in reading them. These comics are easily accessible with the use of the computer and smartphones.
This is also a good thing for aspiring writers. Those who have been a huge fan of comics over the years can make use of their talent by being a webtoon author. These authors are paid well because of the increasing number of readership in recent years.
Those who have successfully published online content are paid up to $80,000 per month. This figure will even go higher as webtoons are becoming popular in various parts of the world.
