Advice on Webtoons update frequency vs. page count tradeoff, and teaser images

[jiany0u]

Hi everyone! I'm new here and excited to be a part of this community. I just started a new comic, Camellia, and have been researching hosting options. From what I gather, Webtoons audiences prefer longer, less frequent updates over shorter, more frequent ones.

Given that I can produce a page (4-6 panels) a week, how often should I update on Webtoons?
A page a week seems fine for Tapastic, but probably too short for Webtoons. I was thinking 2 pages/2 weeks, or 4 pages a month (Which is probably still too short for Webtoons, but whatever). However, I don't want to post so infrequently that I can't be discovered, but I want to have updates that are long enough for the Webtoons audience. What's the sweet spot?

Are teaser images OK for Webtoons?
I've only posted a single teaser pic on Tapas, which has generated enough interest for me to have some eyeballs when I post the first comic page. I want to do the same thing on Webtoons, but is that a no-no over there? Should I instead wait until I have the teaser page + a few comic pages before posting the whole thing on Webtoons?

Thanks in advance; I've already learned so much from the forums.

If the pro comics are any indication, teaser comics (like movie trailers as opposed to posters) are the way to go. Like 2-3 page worth of panels from various pages, laid out in a way that drums up interest rather than making people feel confused. And just like with movie trailers, you can insert brief narration bits to help things make more sense.

I update every other week there, and TBH I feel like that's the slowest I can go without having people forget what the story was about.

Good idea, thanks! Love your avatar btw. Your comic art is beautiful as well.

Thanks

I should mention, trailer comics aren't necessary; just saying they may be better received than a whole update consisting solely of a teaser image.

Gotcha! That's a good idea I hadn't thought of; I'll probably go with it. I appreciate the help!

Updating 2 pages/2 weeks or even weekly is good because depending on the genre a lot of them are saturated meaning you only are on recent for a few hours per update. What I do is update weekly, then once I hit the 4th page, sort of reupload for a part and take down the other pages, so that all 4 are together but there isn't that long of a wait. If you have decent traffic though, try to upload every 3 weeks at least because webtoons audience is not as loyal as tapas. Also, you won't get the moar comment for a while because they aren't as toxic with new comics. hope that helps.
