Social Media Engagement in 2020: Whatever time has been your traditional 'go to' time for posting on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram may no longer be as productive for you in terms of engagement.
Since the CoVid-19 hit, almost everyone's daily routine has been altered.
So, too, have the days and times most likely to produce favorable results from social media posts.
Instead of 'going' to work...or school...or whatever. People are still staying home.
So the times they hop on social media have changed along with their other routines.
But, one thing is still the same.
If you want your marketing to get anywhere, you really need to be on social media.
Not just random, haphazard posts.
But posts that have been well-thought-out. That take your audience from where they are...to where you want them.
And you need a plan.
You want to post your content at times (and days) when those posts are likely to get the most attention.
