What time do you normally post your comic?

[lizm]

Timezones, people working late shifts, unusual sleeping schedules--there are always countless people asleep/awake no matter when you update, so I'm not all that bothered by a potential audience being asleep when I update. If you're concerned about it, try experimenting by uploading at different times and see if there's a 'trend' in views/subscribers on certain days or during a specific timeframe.

That being said, I have no schedule whatsoever besides updating daily, but lately it's been around 6-8 pm CET because it's the most convenient time for me. Sometimes I update between 6 - 7 in the morning before I leave the house. Sometimes at completely different times.

I post my comic when it's done B)
schedule? what schedule? <---total professional

Trying to figure out when to cast my net is a chore. So I don't. I'd try liz's suggestion if you're up for the challenge.

Hmm, I think you have a point...

I post Mondays and Fridays at 10 AM PST, which is about 19.00 local time. It seems to work out okay, even if I do see the subscribers' activity spread out across Tuesdays/Saturdays, too.

Also, it's possible to schedule pages, so they'll post even while you're asleep.

Maybe this chart might be helpful for you to determine the best time?

I always post my comics past midnight PST.

[Mharz]

I post my comic at around 7PM GMT+8:00 onwards. Just post it whenever the schedule favors you. Your subs will always be notified anyway.

I post mine around 1:00 AM PST, or 4 AM EST here, since I'm always up at 4-5 AM for early shifts and I generally have enough time to get on the computer and quickly post something on other sites while Tapastic gets it early (I love the "Post Later" option that thing is incredible). It's especially nice for Tuesdays.

And while it doesn't quite apply to my Wednesday series (usually have that day off) it's become a force of habit for posting things preemptively on here and it's nice to know that Tap has it earlier than Deviantart and Smackjeeves would.

i try to post every friday by midnight

[fighterxaos]

I post at 9 am PST, noon Eastern. I figure it's a decent time for those in the US at least.

That chart is pretty cool, @zerofruits, but it doesn't mention which timezone they're using! 3pm PST is pretty different from 3pm GMT, after all.

Yeah, I think they are refering to EST timezone, I saw this in one of their comments on the site I linked to

"Hi Shawn, the majority of studies we looked at did not specify a time zone, but the Bitly study does note it was conducted on EST. We feel their findings should translate across time zones. However, we recommend testing at your local time in your time zone and then adjusting post times depending on your results. Some of the free tools we listed can be helpful in adjusting and tweaking the posting times to your specific needs."

I try to post on Mondays around 7am PST. I have no idea when the most optimal time is, but my logic behind it was "Monday mornings suck, here's a comic to make it a little better!"

[Ankur]

The chart is very interesting, but I wonder if the stats would be different on sites for comics or stories, because the content would not be as quick to go through, as compared to Twitter, Facebook, etc.

(I didn't even notice that the timezone hadn't been given =P Thanks @AnnaLandin )

[efdvorsky]

I schedule my comic at 4pm PST (which is 8pm for me in EST+1 ) It seems to work though it usually takes about an hour or so to see any response but hey it's up! (Although looking at that VERY NEAT chart, it seems I should push it a tad later)

[thekampe]

I'm one of those that usually posts as soon as I've finished a page, which is usually around 10pm for me lol

[Aetherwing]

I post on Sundays and Thursdays at 9:00PM PST which is midnight on Mondays and Fridays here for me in EST!

[joannekwan]

7 am PST, because if I have to stay up late the night before finishing a page it's still on time, also I wake up to some great comments! \o/

[kylemiller1985]

I post at 8AM PDT on Saturday's, which is okay for me. It posts at noon my time. I think this makes it a good time for availability to my targeted North American crowd.

[Bluejay]

I tried posting every 2-3rd day? But, then it just went downhill from there, since I'm so bad at keeping up schedules. Now I just post whenever I feel like it's ready. Which I either release of updates like a rattling gun or release a turtle with one page. Hahaha

I genuinelly wonder if posting in a specific time can help you with your audience or not?
