I've been posting a chapter a day in the morning, around 9am. At first I published several chapters, back to back, to keep my story on the new releases page. I noticed a lot of new readers on that day, and a steady amount of new readers the day after. However since then, with one chapter a day, I've had fewer new readers. I'm wondering if there are certain times in the day where there is more traffic? Should I maybe try releasing chapters during a better time? What time do most readers check out the site?

(lol, got some deja vu in this thread)

It honestly doesn't matter in the least.

If you post during 'hot' hours, then there will be more other uploads too and your story will vanish faster from the lists.
If you post during 'cold' hours, then your story will stay up longer on the lists but fewer people will see it.

Your best bet is to just upload consistently every X day(s), but at different times to maximize your multi-timezone audience

Do some research with this little information.

Based on the traffic to scribblehub.com by country. 31 percent is from the US, the rest is from Puerto Rico, Germany, Thailand, Australia, etc.

Find out your country's GMT and compare it with them.

The rest is piece of cake.

I always think that 11 pm is the best. Bored people/unable to sleep would try to reload the main page just for the sake of reloading it (I'm doing this rn). There are many US Americans in SH, so you can try to release it on their timezone. GMT +7 or GMT+8 is good too, because many asians here are in these timezones
