When do you post?

[Animo]

I just wanted to put an open question out there; what day of the week do you usually publish your work? If so, Is there also a particular time you do it?
I work as a Journalist full-time and I usually send a lot of emails out during the span of the week. I usually found more success with emails being sent on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and it brought up the thought of whether there would be a peak day to publish my work too. Any thoughts on this would be great!

When I have time, which is usually on the weekend.

That does make a lot of sense. Since most people would also be free throughout the day during weekends I'd also think that would probably be one of the more superior options logically speaking.

I publish on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I try to publish when there not much trafic to have more time appearance in the last update page.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Never.

I post every day, but that depends on your goals. I want to give my readers a consistent flow of content, especially as my novel does not fall into the "popular" camp of genres (isekai, litrpg, genderbender, harem, smut, etc.) which means I'll have to rely on other things to hold my audience. I've also experimented with releasing a massive chapter once a week which has earned middling success in terms of visibility.

If you're writing isekai litrpg you can honestly just post whenever from my experience.

Apparently, the majority of readers tend to not read the weekend. The more trafic happen between 11am and 12am in week day.

I heard somewhere that monday was the best day to post but I'm more interested in trying to set a pace I can maintain than trying to increase views.

What time zone are you currently in - Is there a predominant region that scribblehub readers are based in?

Europe and the predominant are American from what I see.

This makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing in a majority of cases, especially for more niche genres, they need to cater to a pace that suits the majority of their readers.

Oh wow, so do you tend to post 10AM CET or around that time zone, or do you try and match it with 10AM ET or PT.

Approximately every 1.5 weeks to a month.

In the more free parts of my life, I post chapters every day, or as soon as they're ready. But lately I've been posting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Gives me time to write new chapters and prof-read before posting them.

You have a better score than my sister then. She writes the highest quality novels/fanfics I've ever read, but chapters come out every two months at best. I think some of her works haven't been updated in a year at the moment.

I tend to publish at 3pm CET would mean more or less 9am in America time zone.

Sometime after I teach my kid to read on his own so he stops grabbing pencils out of my hand when I attempt to write.

When i feel like it

I used to upload any day (At least once a week) for my main story, but now it is Tuesday. Not for any particular reason, I just wanted to try and be more consistent and Tuesday just happened to be that day.

Second story is at least one chapter a fortnight, with that chapter always being on Sunday (it was going to be Monday, but decided to have at least a day separation between them).

Time wise, I usually upload between 4~6 am, cause timezone reasons. Which can be a little annoying, cause while I do get more views when I upload during those times, I'm still asleep for a bit so I can't interact with people....

 

[WingsOfPhantasy]

Yes.

Every day. For my SH stories, one chapter per day, for my AO3 stories as many chapters as I have written on that day. I don't want to end up with a stockpile of novels.
