Times in your audience's local time.
Why these are only starting points
These times follow a simple idea: post when your audience is likely to be scrolling, before work, at lunch or in the evening. They do not come from a study, and your audience is not an average.
Post at a few of these times for two or three weeks, then keep the hours that get replies and drop the rest.
Timing in Postlite
In Postlite, you pick the time for each post you approve. What matters more is whether the post is worth reading, so every draft is scored Read, Skim or Pass first.
Once a week, Postlite looks at how your own posts did. It learns from your posts only, not from other accounts.
Let Postlite write the post, too
Editors draft in your voice, and every draft gets Read, Skim or Pass before it goes out. A Pass on X waits until you fix it.
