    Hi so I've been writing a novel titled, "The White witch and the Archduke", but I've been really having a hard time looking for a good online writing platform and earn money from it. My novel is greatly inspired from reading too much medieval fantasy themed manhwas and korean novels lmao. Thanks a bunch!

    And yeah, a lot of authors who make original works on the web do so using patreon and kofi. Readers donate if they like your work and can get perks ranging from being able to read stuff early to livestreams of chapter being written or edited or something along those lines for example.
    Some authors then go on to further publish volumes of there work on amazon for example - after some pro editing and all.

    That was the case in the past, but Amazon launched their own webnovel platform a couple of months ago. It's still very much in the early stages though – only available in the US for now and only accessible through browsers and the Kindle iOS app, no Android or Kindle ereader app support. No idea if the authors posting on it so far are having any success; I'd imagine its readerbase is still relatively limited.

    you should start by posting on platforms like wattpad and webnovel, with enough hype, people will gradually look for you to post on their platforms such as dream. I didn't make much but my one novel on wattpad had sold for about 500 dollars
