Ultimate Cartoonist Guide

🐹 How To Grow ACartoon Channel 📺

Funny, weird, or wholesome? Whatever your style, the world is watching. Here is the strategy to build the next big animation brand.

Why Cartoons Fail 📉

Creating characters is hard. Making them popular is harder. Avoid these traps.

Is it for kids or adults? If you mix "South Park" humor with "Peppa Pig" visuals, you will confuse the algorithm and parents.

Viewers forgive bad drawings. They do not forgive bad audio. Get a decent microphone and learn basic mixing.

Uploading once every 3 months kills momentum. Simplify your art style if it helps you upload every 2 weeks.

Using famous songs or characters is a shortcut to getting banned. Create original IPs.

Mickey Mouse. Spongebob. The Minions. Your main character needs a simple, distinctive design that people want to draw, meme, and buy as a plushie.

Visual comedy (slapstick) travels further than dialogue. If someone can laugh at your cartoon without turning on the sound, you have a global hit.

Cartoons thrived on TV in 11-minute segments. On YouTube, they thrive in 3-minute bursts or 60-second Shorts. Keep the pacing tight.

Episodes should stand alone, but having recurring jokes or a loose storyline rewards subscribers for watching every single video.

Cartoon channels have the highest merchandise potential. Design your characters with t-shirts and stickers in mind from day one.

Build a loyal cult following

100Viral uses official Google Ads to ensure your viewers are real people, not bots. This means:

Do I need a drawing tablet?👇🏻

Yes. A cheap Wacom or Huion tablet (under $50) is essential for any digital cartoon work.

How do I do voices?👇🏻

Practice! Or record yourself and pitch-shift it. Or hire friends. Bad voice acting can be part of the charm (see: ASDFmovie).

Is it safe for kids?👇🏻

You must decide: "Made for Kids" (no comments, lower ads) or General Audience. Be clear in your settings.

Can 100Viral help cartoons?👇🏻

Yes, we can target specific demographics (e.g., fans of Adult Swim or Cartoon Network) to grow your channel.
