Tweet Power

I'm no social media guru, nor do I want to be. I do, however, want to know when the best time is to tweet so that people actually see what I'm saying. After a little digging, I unearthed some great information for all you tweeters out there.

The absolute best time to post a tweet is between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. Yes, that's right, AM.

I know what you're thinking . . . What the heck? Who in the world looks at Twitter in the middle of the night? Nobody!

Well, actually, you'd be wrong about that, Hoss. According to a massive four-year study put out by Buffer, that window of time is the best opportunity for you to get the most engagement with your Tweets exactly for that reason . . . not that no one will look at it, but that there are less people posting at that time.

You see, the most popular time to tweet is the middle of the day in most time zones, which makes for a lot of clutter on everyone's feed. That's why the 2-3 time slot is gold -- less clutter.

But if you're like me and happen to nearly always be sleeping in the wee hours of the night, here's an even better bit of information: the next best tweeting time is between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m.

Happy tweeting, little buddies!
