      How to use the schedule

      Use your audience’s time zone

      Times are local to the people you want to reach, not to you.

      Your statistics beat any average

      The built-in analytics of each network shows when your followers are online. Where it disagrees with this plan, trust it.

      Change one thing at a time

      Keep format and topic similar while you test times, otherwise you will not know what moved the numbers.

      Let the calendar post at the right time

      Schedule the whole week in one calendar for 14 networks, and see which posting times work in your analytics.

      Questions

      What is the best time to post?

      There is no universal best time. It depends on when your own audience is online. This planner gives sensible windows to start from and a way to test them.

      How often should I post?

      Pick a number you can keep for three months. Three to five good posts a week beat daily filler.

      Are the windows based on data?

      They are based on common daily rhythms and each network’s usage habits, not on a private dataset. That is why a two-week test is built in.
