Best Time to Post to Social Media Networks

Image
Question: What is the Best Time to Post on Social Networks? Answer: It depends on when your customers are frequenting the social networks. (this requires some research and learning) Anecdotal Rule of Thumb: Mornings before 10 am. Afternoons between 1 to 3 pm. And Evening times depend on what network. However, your customers may be the late night audience, and are only logging in after 9 pm. In that case, you better have your posts pre-scheduled to show up after 9 pm... Or stay up and post them yourself. Here is further evidence that could dispute what I just said earlier: Facebook:  Traffic is highest between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET. Best time:  Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET Worst time:  8 p.m. to 8 a.m. ET Pinterest:  Saturday morning is the best time to post. Best time:  2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET or 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. ET Worst time:  5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET LinkedIn:  Post before or after business hours. Best time:  7 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET or 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET Wo...
