Best Time To Post On Social Media (And Worst Ones Too)

In the video above I cover the best times to post on the top social media platforms.  Let’s look at these networks so we can see which times are the best and which ones are the worst.

Twitter – With Twitter the best time to post on social media for twitter is 1-3 PM EST time.  The worst time to post on Twitter is 8:00 PM  – 8:00 AM

Facebook – Oh my dear Facebook.  For doing status updates on Facebook (and you should be doing 5-8 of them per day).  The best times are between 1-4 PM.  The worst times are similar to twitter with it being 12:00 PM – 8:00 AM EST.

Google + – With Google Plus you better get to it early.  I think this is because of all the international users of Google +.  But the best time to post is 9:00 – 11:00 AM EST.  The times you want to avoid are 6:00 PM – 8:00 AM.

Instagram – The best time to drop photos on Instagram is between 5:00-6:00 PM EST time.  The worst times to post on Instagram are between 12:00 PM – 8:00 AM.

Linked-in – I found linked in to be pretty surprising.  This study found the times to avoid on Linked-in are between 9:00 am – 5:00 PM EST time.  Looks like working hours do not work on Linked-in.  The study did not tell me the times I should be posting on Linked in.  But I found out it is 7:00 am – 9:00 am and again at 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM.  We can assume you just want avoid the 9-5 trap.

So there you have it.  The best time to post on social media.  I also gave you the worst.  I got this information from a study done on sumall.  They looked a millions of posts and were able to figure out the best and worst times to post on social media.  Bookmark this page and refer to it often.

I know first that when you post on Social Media can make a big difference on how many people see your posts.
