Discovering the Best Times to Share Your Medium Stories
Written on
Chapter 1: Importance of Timing in Publishing
When it comes to increasing the readership of your stories on Medium, timing plays a crucial role. Based on my personal experiences, I’ve identified what I consider to be the prime moments to publish your content.
Section 1.1: Why U.S. Timing Matters
The majority of Medium's audience is located in the United States. Therefore, to attract more readers, it’s wise to schedule your posts for when American users are most active. This typically means early mornings, around 7 AM to 9 AM, and evenings, from 5 PM to 7 PM.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Rationale Behind Morning and Evening Posts
Many readers are preoccupied with their 9-5 jobs throughout the day. They often take time to read in the morning before their workday begins or in the evening after their tasks are completed. By strategically publishing during these hours, you can maximize your chances of engagement with your content.
Section 1.2: Tailoring Your Posting Schedule
It's important to note that not every writer aims to reach a broad audience. Some may have specific target groups in mind that span different regions and time zones, and that’s perfectly acceptable! While the aforementioned insights can help enhance your engagement, they’re not rigid guidelines. Feel free to experiment with your posting times to discover what resonates best with your audience.
