What are the best times to post to your favorite social media platforms? Bitly crunched the numbers and here’s what they found:

Twitter

• Post 9am-3pm ET, Monday through Thursday
• Especially post 1-3pm ET, Monday through Thursday
• Avoid posting after 8pm ET during the weekends
• Avoid posting after 3pm ET on Friday and at all on weekends

Facebook

• Post 1-4pm ET during the week
• Especially post midweek 1-3pm ET
• The very best time is Wednesday at 3pm ET
• Avoid posting between 8pm ET and 8am ET during the week
• Avoid posting on weekends

Tumblr (graphic posted above)

• Post from 4pm ET onward
• Especially post from 7pm-10pm ET onward, with Monday and Tuesdays being good
• Post on Friday evenings

(Sounds about right. Tumblr’s popularity in the evening supports my assessment that everyone likes to live-blog TV.)

Really interesting. Helpful for all of us who have to resort to shameless self-promotion on various social media platforms.
