Tips and Tricks: When to Post on Social Media

Professional greeting card designer Kate Harper has a wonderful blog where she shares lots of tips and tidbits relating to the business of successfully creating  greeting cards. Recently, she shared a graphic she made on the best and worst times to post on social media—meaning the time of day when your followers are most/least  likely to see your posts.

How it breaks down for the best:

FACEBOOK:  1-4 p.m.
TWITTER: 1-3 p.m.
PINTEREST: 2-4 p.m. and 8 p.m.-1 a.m.
GOOGLE+: 9-11 a.m.
LINKEDIN: 7-9 a.m. and 5-6 p.m.

These represent your local time. Of course, international artists may be in a different boat. We live in the Netherlands, but our primary card buying audience is in America. You may want to take time zone differences into account in that case. Or not, as you choose.

Thanks to Betsy Bush of Dragonfire Graphics for the heads-up.
