I have been finding that if I post a new update in the afternoon and tweet a link, I get very little traffic compared to when I do the exact same thing around 10 am. My rationalization for this is that people are most likely to be active on Twitter/blogs between 10-11, once they have had some coffee and checked their e-mail, but before the pressure of the end-of-day deadlines start getting to them.
Is this accurate? I have a very small sample for this, so I can't be sure if you just don't happen to like the content that I have been posting in the afternoons, compared to the pieces that have gone up in the morning. This could easily be random based on the amount of data that I have, but the beauty of having direct connections with your audience is that I don't have to wait for the sample to grow.
Also, if I am way off base feel free to let me know. If the content is bad (or too long), I can't promise that it will improve, but it can't hurt for me to know about the problem.

ReplyDeleteI tend to read blogs, check facebook, etc.. in both the morning and the afternoon. However, checking in the morning is kind of a part of my routine, eat breakfast, read blogs, etc... whereas checking in the afternoon is usually only if I find myself with a little downtime.
