Last week I shared some research from Dan Zarella on [timing and frequency of Twitter and Facebook posts](https://www.hypebot.com/dan-zarrella-on-timing-twitter-facebook-posts/) and related research on [email and blog posts](https://www.hypebot.com/quick-guide-to-timing-emails-blog-posts/). Here's a quick cheatsheet with just the top timing tips for Twitter, Facebook, email and blogs to maximize reader interaction.

**Twitter:**

- For retweets, post in the afternoon and late in the week.
- For clickthroughs, post no more than once an hour around 11 am and 5 pm and on weekends.

**Facebook:**

- For likes, post every other day.
- For shares, post very early in the morning, around 1 am to 3 am, and on weekends.

**Email:**

- For opens, send early in the morning and on weekends.
- For clickthroughs, send on weekends.

**Blogs:**

- For page views, post in the morning, around 10 or 11 am, and on Mondays.
- For comments, post early in the morning, around 7 or 8 am, and on weekends.
- For links, post often and early on Mondays and Thursdays.

Remember that Zarella worked from a large amount of aggregate data, over 9.5 billion emails from Mailchimp, for example, and that experimenting and keeping an eye on reader stats is key.
