Hello Freedom! As the title asks, what do you think is a fair uploading schedule for your YouTube channel?

I try to upload every Friday, Saturday and Monday. I only upload one video on those days, that way I have time to edit said videos. =]

Sincerely, Edwin

I'd say whenever you came, just stay consistent with it and always have content flowing on the channel. Personally I upload every other day, but thats just me and if I have to it goes an extra day

Yeah in all honesty a schedule can actually make constant worse. You'll encounter times where you make content for the sake of meeting the deadline. I feel like I have much more creative space now that I upload when I feel like it.

I upload every Monday, but I don't have a ton of time to make videos, so I can really only upload once a week.

Normally I work on videos and then schedule upload them for Mondays , Wednesdays and Fridays.
But I guess this differs from person to person depending on how much time you have to make videos.

Having a set schedule is good so the people subscribed to you know when to expect videos rather than when you just upload whenever you feel like it, a good upload time is at LEAST once a week and go above if you have more time, what I tend to do is record 7 videos on friday, saturday and sunday because that's my weekend and schedule all of them to go up every single day and from there on on i just repeat

Monday, Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, and repeat.

4 days apart for personal life, editing and going through it all before finally uploading the actual video. Additionally you could use the time to record extra footage, edit or animation in your editing programs as well as rendering and picking out the tags for your video. Furthermore, you could (if you work on your own thumbnails) use your time traditionally to sort out a better thumbnail for it.

I find the timetable I just listed one of the friendliest ones, as they are in countable order, it also gives you a lot of time to do what you want to do during the process.

I upload every Thursday and Friday to give time to edit as well

Once you have a schedule just keep going with as your subs know that's the day you upload.

Why Monday may I ask?

I think it can depend on the type of content, but doing a series you should probably upload at least once a week at a specific time. Other than that though, I don't think people mind if you can't keep to a schedule. I can go a few months without an upload but still have loyal subs that will stick with the channel :D

Depends on the type of content you do really. Let's Play type content should be once or twice a day depending on the length of videos and time available.

Other type of videos the range could vary a ton depending on how much scripting and editing is involved.

Many people dislike Monday because it's the beginning of the work week. I figure I'll upload something comical for them to watch before/after work to lift their spirits! =]

I do the same thing! It also gives me a good start to the week, because it makes me feel like I got something done!

That's quite a lot! You really are Unstoppable, Frost! =]

I've been meaning to ask: What's the norm for 'Review Channels', for both ways?

Makes sense, to get something up on a Monday would put too much pressure on me over the weekend.
And I'm not organised enough to be a week ahead lol.

Best of luck with your videos.

Last week I switched to scheduled postings on YouTube. Everyday at the same time.

This actually felt realy great from the start.
