Knowing the best time to post is just the start. Use these tips to maximize every tweet.

Consistency matters more than perfection -- post at the same times regularly to train your audience.

Test your specific audience: while data shows general trends, your followers may have unique habits.

Tweets posted during peak hours get 2-3x more impressions in the first 30 minutes.

Avoid posting during major breaking news events unless your content is relevant to the story.

Schedule tweets for multiple time zones if your audience is global -- one post time does not fit all.

Stop guessing when to post. AutoTweet's AI analyzes your audience in real time and schedules every tweet at the optimal moment.
