Facebook Einsteins! Are You Posting At These So-Called OPTIMAL Times?

For many social media managers, just keeping their pages updated is a serious challenge.

And sometimes the hardest thing is figuring out the best time to post!

Generally, I wouldn't listen to a so-called "expert" trying to tell me the best time to post.

They usually don't know squat!

But some people have actually researched the topic -- and this SurePayroll infographic is a perfect example.

It's only by digging into your social media analytics that you'll truly find what works best for your accounts. But watching when others post never hurts either. ;)
