...Now? What about now?
Track Maven recently analysed 17.5 million social posts by 17,737 brands to come up with a clear guideline for posting times over various forms of social media.
It turns out the best time to post on Facebook is 8pm on Thursday, while for Twitter it's 5pm on the same day.
It's bright and early for LinkedIn types! Judging by the prime time of 9am (Particularly on Wednesdays), I'd say that while checking emails first thing and seeing some notifications, it's leading to some early morning LinkedIn visits!
Instagrammers and Pinners tend to have a scroll at the end of the week, but at different times of day.
Instagram posts are most popular at 7pm on Fridays (Oh gosh, what does this say about us!?)
What about for your business pages? Do you think your Facebook insights are an accurate representation of your busiest times?

So your social media fellowship is growing, but is it at a good rate - or is social media inflation accounting for your gained followers?
