You can’t just post on social networks whenever you want. Why?

Free Tools To Help You Analyze The Best Times To Post OnlineBecause your followers may not be there when you are posting, which means they won’t see your status updates or posts.

Today I read a really interesting post by Neil Patel from QuickSprout suggesting Simply Measured . This tool is used to determine when most of your followers are online.

So, when should you post? Well, you shouldn’t just rely on generic data, telling you that 8 a.m. or 3 p.m. is the best time to post. From Google Plus to Twitter and Instagram, Simply Measured will help analyze all of your social profiles and tell you when to post.

What is Simply Measured?

Simply Measured is based in Seattle, Washington, Simply Measured supports more than 35 percent of the Interbrand 100 and has more than 100,000 users. It is known to be the leading social media analytics and measurement platform used by brands across the globe to quantify performance, determine impact and derive strategic direction from social media data.

With more than 40 unique reports sourced from the top social platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Google+, and YouTube, Simply Measured turns social media data into beautiful, customizable reports that are easily analyzed and shared.

How It Works For You?

Once you have the data from Simply Measured, you will know when to post. This is why you are seeing a lot of popular pages posting at certain times, e.g., 6 p.m. It’s not because that is when they are free – it’s because they figured out that the majority of their followers are on that social network during that time.
