My advice is to post your finished versions/ if any at all in order (if you are posting the comic in it's or near it's entirety), once a week to allow a build up of excitement for the next page. It works in garnering interest and excitement, or anticipation.

I am definitely going to do my best to do one a week, however I wanted to get these pages up and done with, from here on out it will likely be every Thursday. However I do have two other jobs, I can't promise every week. XD I'd finished these pages almost a month ago.

you don't need to post them the week you finish them, you can also try doing Bi-weekly or once a month depending on what works for you. I would also strongly recommend promoting on all platforms to garner attention. Get people in suspense for the next update, you must also make sure it has a good flow from one page to the next so it keeps people wanting more and waiting, and checking for the next update. When you get enough pages and enough support you can come to a "close" between one story arc and the next, and compile the pages into books to sell.

I am aware that I do not need to post them the day I finish them. I had been promoting the release of Naor on March 25th for the last month or so. I was already late, and wanted to get the pages up to stick to my promise of uploading the first chapter. That is the only reason that I posted so many at once.

I already have a publisher and a plan for printing the books. I infact already have a template together for InDesign that I'm been placing the finished pages in. I'll be doing 32 and 96 page books as I complete them, and posting online weekly or bi-weekly, depending on how busy I get. This is the first time I've attempted a single page in a week, so I'm not sure how fast I am. The first month or two will be a bit odd until I find a rhythm that works well for me and my schedule.

I do know that comics need to be motivating from page to page.... I did study them for 3 years in college. I already have the story written in fact, so I know my arcs and books. They are already lined out and simply need to be drawn now and printed as I complete enough pages. I also have a publisher working with me on this, so I have to work with what he wants as well. I'm sure once I fall into a good pace, my readers will begin to respond and get excited for my regular updates as I put them out.
