When is the best time to post on steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

Everyone wants to know what time they should post in order to maximise their rewards from posts that they have spent time on. There's no better feeling than having a post receive the profits you feel that they deserve. The first thing to take into consideration is the main user base of steemit. Now this I could mean one of 2 things: demographics or region. From what I have noticed, demographics are not all that important for steemit and it is used by a diverse range of people which is absolutely fantastic, exposing people to cultures not familiar to their own. So since you won't have to rely on demographics too much, thinking about region should be your priority, particularly to do with time zones. It can easily be assumed that steemit has a majority of users being from North America, as many platforms of this kind are, so you might want to adjust your posts to this accordingly. Knowing this, you can easily adjust to posting your content in the evenings, relative to a North American time zone.

This graph, courtesy of @scrawl, shows that average payout of all posts in SBD based on the hour that they were posted on the blockchain. This graph is actually based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, UK) as opposed to a North American time zone but you just need to roll these times back 5/6 hours depending on where you are. So from this graph you can see it would probably not be the best to post between 6am and 3pm GMT.

Hopefully you found this post somewhat useful. If you did, upvotes and resteems would be very helpful to me and a follow is always appreciated. Also do feel free to leave a comment.

I've found in the last couple of weeks that between 6am and 11am EST was the most rewarding for me. Perhaps it has been a fluke but lately I've tried to always post within that time frame.

This past weekend was the US long weekend and activity on Steemit was low. I regret not saving some of my content until this week but I couldn't resist so oh well. Steemit has a hold on me! lol

Hey thanks. Sitting here with a great blog and not wanting it to just get buried. :) I will try your time frame.

That's interesting. It's also been half term over here in the UK so maybe that has something to do with it? I'm sure during Holiday periods the payouts will fluctuate quite a bit.

Nice thanks

No problem, hopefully you get some benefit out of it.

This little guppy can use all the help he can get lol

Thanks for that, something new for me to consider 👍

Every little helps.

Thanks for the info

You're welcome

Thanks a lot! :) Very handy.

Also browsed your blog and see you posted about the simulation theory and I am pretty into tossing that idea around in my head so I am following you and going to read that blog! :)

Thank you, that means a lot. I've also been researching into the possibility of time travel and planning to make a post about it in the next couple of days. Hopefully that will be something that interests you too.

Over my head but definitely like learning more. I feel like it is so insanely out of reach or even impossible but I would love to know what people much, much smarter than me scientifically have to say. :)
