Creator playbook

Step by step: how to use Inksiders as a creator.

This page explains what to do first, what each area is for, and how to use profiles, works, and updates in the right order.

01

Start here.

Use Inksiders in this order: set up your profile, publish your work, then use updates to keep the page active between releases.

If you skip the profile or the update layer, readers can still open the work, but they will know less about you and have less reason to return.

Step 1. Set up your profile.

Open your profile and add the basic identity layer first: banner, avatar, name, bio, contact email, country, languages, and availability.

  • Use the banner to set the visual tone of your page.
  • Use the avatar so readers recognize you in comments and updates.
  • Use the bio to explain what kind of manga or comics you make.
  • Use contact, language, and availability so collaborators know how to approach you.

Step 2. Create and publish a work.

Create a manga or comic, upload a cover, organize the pages, and check the reading order before publishing.

  • The cover is what people see first in Home and Explore.
  • The title should match across the cover, profile, and viewer.
  • The page order should be correct before the work goes public.
  • Publish only when the reading experience feels ready.
Step 3. Use updates after publishing.

Updates are for progress, previews, release notes, chapter announcements, sketches, or anything that keeps readers informed between releases.

  • Post an update when a chapter goes live.
  • Post an update when you want feedback on a preview or sketch.
  • Post an update when there is progress worth showing.
  • Do not post filler with no context; say what changed or what is next.
Step 4. Make interaction easy.

Readers can like works, comment on updates, and save works to revisit later. Your job is to make it easy for them to understand what they are reacting to.

  • Use clear titles and covers so people can remember the work.
  • Use updates to invite feedback with a specific question.
  • Credit collaborators when they are part of the work.
  • Label mature content clearly before readers open it.
