What are the best hours to post your tech tips on twitter?

Just wanted to ask you, when do you think are the best hours or timeframes to post your content on Twitter?

From my quick tests during these days I found:

Mornings: Reported my article a 0 views increase, so not too good specially for people like me that does not have any followers.
Afternoons: Reported my article a 30 views increase, so looks like a better time.

    Think of your target market. Their morning is not always your morning. Experiment and see what is right for you.

    Honestly, I gave up thinking about this. There's no pat answer. My audience is mostly based in my country, so I avoid posting during the very late hours (1am to 5am). Otherwise, I'll post whenever and cross my fingers. If I really want people to see it, I'll retweet/quote tweet later.

      yes, retweet is a good tool, I have tried it last day and it worked perfectly, so I am agree if the tweet did not get the visibility you expected, a retweet in a different day and hour could improve that.

    I run https://fullstackheroes.com and I usually post my articles in the morning on Thursday/Fridays.

    There is no scientific reasoning behind this, I just feel that most developers have slow mornings later in the week, where they like to check Twitter.

    Also it heavily depends in which timezone you are and the timezone of your audience. For example, I am in Europe, but if the majority of my audience was in America, I would post it in the afternoon EU time, which is the morning in America

      Thanks for your insights.

      I am agree that most developers have a slow mornings later in the week, but I also think lots of meetings happen at that time, especially for America Audience and outsourcing workers working with them. Well at least that is what I perceived during these years of work.

    This is your personal account, and only you should decide what time is most suitable for posting posts. I usually write from 12: 00 to 18: 00. I think this is the right time. By the way, the technical advice is very good content. If I have any technical questions, I find them on https://www.lumigon.com I recently had a problem with Microsoft software, fortunately I found the necessary instructions. The most important thing is that there are not only tips on technical problems. I highly recommend this site to you, maybe you will find some good ideas for your content.
