I’m a night owl, it is true. I tend to putter around in the wee hours because there are no distractions, no interruptions. For more than a while I’ve noticed that when I publish a blog post late at night, I don’t get that much feedback from readers on my side of the world. I’ll get likes and sometimes comments from people on the other side of the world, where the sun is shining at 1:00 am my time. I need to find that perfect “publish button” time — the time where one side of the world is waking up and the other is about to head to bed, but both have opportunity to stop by for a quick visit.
Do you notice one time being better than another for publishing your blog posts?
I have the same tendency. If I’m blogging, it’s late at night when I can hear myself think. I’m not doing it regularly enough to notice when a good traffic time is, but I think my stats are showing 2 pm EST is a good time. I know WordPress has a scheduled publishing button (which I don’t use often) but maybe that will help you get more traffic on this side of the world. 🙂

Yes! I used it last night to time this for morning publication. I laughed when I got a notification that it had published! I’d forgotten about it. 😂

I’ve experimented with timing blog posts. My followers tend to respond better when I post after business hours, between 5-8 pm. Weekends are hit or miss.
