Your success on social media is influenced significantly by your practices. This is especially so when it comes to adding new posts. There is a good and bad time to add a post. In this article, we will be looking at the best time to post on social media.
Facebook is probably the most used platform in social media marketing. This is because of the freedom it gives marketers and its popularity across the globe. It has been estimated that over 751 million people use Facebook mobile with 80% of them checking their phones and updating their status each morning. With that in mind, people will most likely see your posts before they get to work. The best time to post on social media when using Facebook is from 6am to 8am then 2pm to 5pm. The worst times to post are on weekends and from 10pm to 4am.
Twitter is the complete opposite of Facebook. Its engagement rises by 30% over the weekends as compared to the weekdays. When posting, focus on adding short tweets that are below 100 characters. They receive more engagement. You should also ask for re-tweets and add two hash-tags for every tweet. The best time to post is over the weekends and weekdays from 1 to 3pm. The worst time to add a post is from 8pm to 8am.
Google+
Just like with almost all social media sites, posting at night will yield the worst results. The same goes for Google+. You have to analyze your audience and pages to determine the best time to post on social media. The best time to post on Google+ is from 9am to 11am. The worst time is from 6pm to 7am.
LinkedIn is widely used right before and after work hours. You will get more traffic from Tuesday to Thursday from business people. With that in mind, you will get less traffic with posts added during work hours. The best times to post on social media is from 7 to 8.30am then from 5pm to 6pm. The worst time is on Monday and Friday and from 9am to 5pm.
Pinterest is the social networking platform that appeals the most to the home decorators, hair stylists, party planners and DIY persons. On average, Pinterest gets visits of 16 minutes. This duration is longer than that on most social media websites. The best time to add posts on Pinterest is on Saturday morning and other days from 2pm to 4pm then from 8pm to 11pm. The worst time to add new posts is from 5 to 7pm and from 1 to 7am.
Blogs
With the blogs, you need to be regularly and consistent. Post at least once each week at the same time and day. Research your audience and only post to specific demographic. The best time to post is on Monday, Friday and Saturday at around 11am. Don’t post from 11pm to 8am.
Knowing the best time to post on social media is the key to generating the most traffic to your posts and website. Do your research. Understand your audience and target a specific demographic.
