You may have noticed, I have altered the timing for my daily posts. Originally, I was posting on weekdays, and scheduling for 5 PM EST each day. That worked, but in truth really encouraged me to create the posting at the last minute. Since I have been trying to pre-schedule content as much as possible, in order to avoid forgetting or being distracted at the last minute, the time really has become rather arbitrary.
I have also noticed thru metrics that several of my posts don’t really get any attention (of what little attention they do receive) during the same day – it is more traffic driven on the following day. I am guessing this is because the content is lost among so much other internet noise in the evening, so I wanted to try a different schedule, and opted for a morning release. Personally, this encourages me to think ahead the night before, but still gives me time in the morning in case something came up.
Will give it a bit, and check the metrics, and who knows? I may switch back, or try another time if something else seems to make more sense.
Give me some feedback if you wish – when do you typically browse the internet for updates and news? Is it in the morning, or in the evening?
