I then took the titles of the last three stories and developed plots around them. I loooove puns! Rather than squeezing out the title out of your script, it's best to look into the big idea of your story.
You can use puns, idioms or some catchy phrases or sentences. Also consider your genre. If your story is more drama, look for words that has a dramatic feel to it. That's what I did to "Not yours, am I? You speak good English, don't worry! Good luck! I guess it depends.

I came up with the story first, the title evolved over time I had a few other titles over the years but I wanted to do something different and came up with this and I've just run with it it lol.
The title will come when it comes, before, after, in the middle Dont force a title, let it come when it comes. Thinking up titles is the hardest part for me. I always think of the story first and then the characters and lastly the title. I try to pick short catchy words and blend them together. After deciding the best I survey my friends and ask them which is the best. Some of the other titles I had in mind was 'by the bay' 'sunsea' and 'solace' before finally Sundaze.
I definitely thought about the title once I wrote the whole scenario. Just to get one that fits the story! Mine was a hard one. It took me several months and several title lists to find Shades Of Men! I mainly thought of the main character, and what she becomes: a hybrid.

Regardless, none of these are a guaranteed method of attracting readers, but they can help make the title easier to recall later. Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is a bit complicated and takes time to properly explain; for those not familiar with the concept, consider this a crash-course.
SEO is the analysis and manipulation of browsers to yield more results leading to a particulate website or page. To put it simply, looking up a word on Google or some other search engine leads to a massive database that then pulls up the most-visited webpages prominently using that keyword.
This is why sites like Facebook and Wikipedia, which have millions of users and immeasurable amounts of ever-increasing content, often appear on the front page. Using these keywords can also help a webcomic title appear on the front page of a search more often, and part of this comes from networking to a large variety of sites like The Webcomic List, TVtropes, and any number of webcomic forums so that the title is widespread.
Here are some things to keep in mind for webcomics specifically:. Not only does this help get the SEO started, but it can be a good way of gauging audience interest early on. Network early on, spreading the title as far as possible. By the time the webcomic itself is released, not only will more new readers know about it, but internet browsers will bring up more examples relevant to the webcomic when people search for terms associated with or similar to the title, even when the story is still in the early stages.
The true test of a webcomic ultimately lies in the sum of its parts. A bad webcomic with a good title will still be bad, but a good webcomic with a bad title might never be noticed.
