From registering your work to adjusting the cover, correcting white lines, and resizing images…! I’m happy to be entrusted with all the detailed and time-consuming work, and it’s very helpful! Thanks to you, I am able to concentrate more on my work, and I am truly grateful! ・Circle name “Yoneda Poloris” I would like to focus on writing without doing as much administrative work as possible, so I am very grateful for the affiliated distribution service, which allows me to consolidate data for tax returns without having to go through any troublesome procedures after applying. Also, with other companies, transfers may be made once every few months, but with DLsite, transfers are made every month, so I look forward to the first day of the month when the sales are recorded. If you also set up automatic participation in campaigns, you may find that your sales increase at an unexpected time when your sales numbers have calmed down, which can be a fun surprise. I’ve heard from people at our business partners that they found out about it, but I feel like I haven’t done anything special, so I’m really happy that the number of readers is increasing even though I didn’t know about it. Highly recommended for those who want to start new business without hassle ■viviON Business Promotion Department Content Sales Manager Comment ・Background of “Manga Hub” release viviON is one of the largest doujin content distribution sites and women’s content distribution sites in Japan, operated by group company Asis, and is a pioneer in the digital content industry with a membership base of over 13 million people and core fans. Along with digitalization, the manga market has grown year by year, and while operating the site, creators have been asking us, “I want to distribute it on e-book services, but I don’t know how to go about it,” “I don’t know how much profit it will bring,” “I can’t do it on my own.” We received comments such as “It’s too much work.” At viviON, whose purpose is to “create a society where users and creators can have fun and live happily,” we started “Manga Hub” with the desire to “become a hub for creators and users.” We also have support functions for creating and distributing manga from scratch. If you already have a work or are planning to create one, please take this opportunity to register.
