In the past 6 years, this is a topic I have covered on various occasions and no matter how many times I talk about it, the findings always change.
The best place to start is finding a balance between listening and sharing. You want to be sharing informative pieces of information on a regular basis but you don’t want to risk annoying your followers so finding the right time to post, and adjusting your social media schedule is crucial.
Automated scheduling app; Buffer shared their social media automation plan which included posting on Twitter 14 times per day, Facebook and Google+ twice a day and LinkedIn once a day. The reason I have shared these statistics is to show you how a huge, American business use social media. This is something that as a small business, you should NOT try to achieve.
Take a look at the below statistics from What She Says, with input from Social Media Today, ConstantContact, Digital Trends, and Bit Rebels for the best times to post on social media.
