Best days and time to upload new content?

[yuliusefferven]

I might be wrong, but I imagine the weekends are when people check the most. I update Pink and Blue 4 days a week and on both Saturday and Sunday. I think I did get more view on those days although I just started and I don't have many pages up yet.

Good luck and nice comic

Weekends and then probably late morning for the continental US. Though I would also like to suggest that you upload at a time when you can reply to comments for a while as everyone loves when they feel like they're being heard.

AHHH this helps!!!ive no idea when to upload it!lol!

The general view in terms of blog posts - which I assume applies to web comics, too - is that the best times to post are between 1030 and 1400. Lunch times are good, because that's when people have time to browse. The most important thing I've been advised is that if you start publishing a web comic you need to stick to the regular schedule you decide on, whether it's daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. I'm posting new episodes of "Crucible" on Thursday mornings UK time, for example, and I do the dame for another comic, "Witchcraft Street", which has its own web site and I'm curating for friends.

Hmm At night best time cause really....does anyone who uses the internet needs it?

I would really like some statistics about that... maybe the tapastic staff can help us out here (on the other hand it would be a bit boring if most of the updates come all at once). I made good experience with the weekend too. But somehow (and I still don't get why) there was always a boost of subscribes and likes on tuesday/wednesday for me...
But I'm still trying around with my schedule...

This is something I did not take into consideration well enough. My time zone is JST, but I have always posted at midnight PST just because it gives me that "it just turned Monday in the continental US" feeling. But after a few weeks I realized... who is awake that late on a Sunday night?! Foolish me.

Perhaps I will scoot the time back by a mere 12 hours-- it will still be technically Monday in my time zone, hehe!

Hello there!

I guess I'm just curious about when everyone updates? Coming from traditional comics, my thought process is to release the comics on Wednesdays, but I'm not sure if that's best? Help! I should probably mention that I'm new to Tapastic and webcomics in general.

I don't know for sure but I update my series every Sunday because I figure that's when most people are at home to relax. What better way to spend your time relaxing than catching up on comics?

[Joshlikescomix]

Yea, that makes sense, although I've heard that weekends are bad for social media engagement? My current thought about dropping on Wednesdays is to take advantage of the hashtags that are trending on that day because of new comic books. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad idea though.

Never do Friday nights. Avoid them like the plague.

It sounds like a good idea but im not entirely sure. I update on Thursday's my comic isnt very popular but i get about 12 views that day. And thats alot for me. Sometimes it ups on fridays or wensday. Then i get 20-40 views then the rest of the week slooooowness. I hope that helps

I've typically gotten the most response uploading on Monday evenings. Weekends, especially Fridays, seem to be the worst times.

[Mikayi]

I don't know about this site, but normally if I am able to update it's around Monday/Tuesday nights into the next day. right now on here it uploads everyday till it's caught up with my current ones, but looking at stat wise Wednesdays seem to do okay.

[zaksimmondshurn]

I was wondering the same thing this morning!
After looking at a few similar threads it sounds like weekdays are generally better, Wednesday sounds like a pretty good choice.
I update on Sundays, but am considering switching to a weekday at some point.

[joannekwan]

I think a large percent update on Wednesdays, one of my series does, so if you want your comic to stand out and not get lost in all the updates, avoid that day lol.

[MegaStorm252]

So I'm hopefully going to upload a comic today, but with past upload experience from sites like deviantArt, I know that certain times on different sites can have more people around to see what you upload. Is there a certain time that's best to upload, or is it better to just upload whenever?
