Free Tool Friday – Get your best times to tweet
Posted in Tips & Resources on 8:21 am
Time your tweets to when your followers are online
Did you know that the half- life of a shared link on Twitter is only 2.8 hours? If you want people to read your tweets it’s important to share when your followers are most likely to see it. Today’s Free Tool Friday does all the heavy lifting to figure out exactly when that is for you.
Tool: Tweriod (side note – I’m eager for the day when all things Twitter don’t start with ‘tw’).
About: There are reports out there that can show you when people are most active on social media but Tweriod takes this a step further. It mines your followers to determine when they are most likely to be on Twitter, instead of just using national averages. It does this by analyzing their tweet pattern and also when people click on your links or RT you. Here’s what you’ll see in a Tweriod report.
What I really, really love about this service is that you can then connect it to Buffer, which is one of my favorite Twitter apps (here’s the Free Tool Friday on Buffer).
Get it: Head over to Tweriod and and click ‘Sign Up With Twitter’ to get your free report. It took me about 2 hours to get mine. Note that with the free report you cannot download a PDF, so be ready to take some screen shots.
