Update Schedules
26 February, 2025 12:22 AM
Many webcomics work in a serialized fashion, updating with a page a week or batch of pages every so often, and this is something we probably borrowed from newspaper comics and issue format comics. With that, we wanted to talk about what it’s like to keep up with our own schedules, expectations with retaining readership, and the process involved with sticking with something that works for you.
Listen to this episode on YouTube:
Some topics we'll touch on in this episode:
- What was the process for figuring out your update schedule?
- Why do we need update schedules at all? What benefits are there for keeping an update schedule, for both the creator and the reader?
- What is your advice to someone who is just starting out and trying to figure out an update schedule? What kinds of things should factor into your choices? Are there any things you should avoid when deciding an update schedule?
