1. Timing matters:
I& #39;ve recently watched @FreddyFortune_ new video course (affiliate link later below).
He talks about when he receives the most *link clicks* in his tweets and it got me thinking.

2. Different timing for different things:
First up, I want to say that the best moment to tweet is not set in stone.
+ Your audience is unique
+ Your "engagement partners" are from different time zones
The combination of these two factors makes timing hard to identify.

3. North America first:
When I first started tweeting, I& #39;ve had most reactions in the afternoon & evenings of the NA time zones.
Which means for me here in Europe, peak engagements were around 3am.
But the more followers I got, this changed a lot.
Why?

4. Who the hell is reading now:
So I have no clue what exactly the demographic of my followers is.
If you& #39;d like introduce yourself, I& #39;d honestly love to meet every single one of you

5. Simple Timing Rules:
What I& #39;ve realized is this:
Your Tweets = Time zone of your followers.
Your Replies = Time zone of the person you& #39;re replying to.
THIS IS IMPORTANT!

6. Your Tweets:
This is an obvious one. You should tweet during the times when your followers are most active.
How to know this? Simple: Test it out!
+ Schedule 8 tweets over the course of 24 hours.
+ They should all be similar in content & format.
+ Compare engagements

7. Your Replies:
This is where it gets interesting...
You want to reply to an account& #39;s tweet when HIS/HER followers are most active.
If it& #39;s a big account, they probably have their timings already figured out.
What this means is that you want to reply EARLY.

8. Why should you care?
We can& #39;t all be on Twitter 24/7.
For most of us this is still a side hustle and doesn& #39;t pay all our bills.
By identifying your best timings to tweet & reply, you work more efficiently.

9. Video course:
If you& #39;re still reading now, you& #39;re one of the few who is serious about Twitter marketing.
As I mentioned in the intro, Freddy& #39;s video course got me thinking about my tweet timings like this.
His 45 min video covers a lot more

Self-Retweeting as a strategy to cover different time zones, a practice that& #39;s most often used by bigger accounts though
