Huh, that looks like a useful thread. Maybe we should try to make a new updated one!

Yeah it hasn't updated since I posted mine back in july... there's also this thread that you can put youself in the tapastic creators map.

I just put myself on it! (: That's pretty cool - I think I'll put a link to the thread in the original post!

I'm in EST (New York time) and I found that my comics do well when I post them around noon? Anywhere between 11am - 2pm has worked best for me and if I post them in the evening they don't really get attention.

It would be interesting to see where most of our tapastic readers are from! I can do that with the stats on my wordpress page and it's not really overtly helpful... but I'm always really interested when I get a reader from a new location.

Hello there

Hi there!
I'm from Barcelona and it's 10:47 PM here (GMT +2)

In addition to all of this, and related to the "activity periods", I use a tool called World Time Buddy to keep an eye into different timezones: http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

I like to schedule my comics with three timezones in mind: GMT +2 (that's my tz and some kind of "standard Europe time" that works for me), GMT -7 (for all the US west coast) and GMT -4 (east coast).

Also, I always set my comic strips to be published at 6 PM GMT +2 (9 AM in GMT -7 and 12 PM in GMT -4). The general idea is to avoid "weird"/non-practical hours (If this kind of thing can exist, of course : P), but this requires to know your readers and their behaviour (for example, my spanish comic is scheduled at 8 AM 'cause lots of my readers works in offices and open my website when they arrive at their workplaces in the morning) so maybe I'll need to change or adjust this time in the future...

Wow, that's really interesting that you have it planned in so much detail - that tool looks really useful, too!

koopaconan 2015-09-04 21:00:06 UTC #40

I hope so! Let me keep this schedule a few months and then I'll be able to analyze the results.
