This article and infographic was posted by Ted Nguyen for his blog.
Intro:
One of the most pressing questions whether you're new to social media or a social media maven is: What's the best way to post information or share content to optimize your reach Compendium, a content marketing firm conducted a study of more than 200 companies to determine how social media professionals may optimize their engagement with both business-to-business-to-consumer conversations. What they found is consistent with what Ted Nguyen has experienced and he has demonstrated that he clearly knows what he's doing Here are some highlights:
"My experience in sharing more than 21,000 tweets and Facebook posts to my more than 82,000 Twitter followers and Facebook friends is consistent with the study’s findings" . **I recommend the hours between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Pacific Time) or 1 to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) are the best times for Twitter and Facebook to optimize social engagement engagement.
**I find that tweets shared earlier in the week do better than those sent later in the week. I also have discovered that Facebook posts do best Wednesday early afternoon.
**if you look at Ted's social shares, they run around the clock. he tries his best to engage with people in real time or near real time.

This a timely and important piece from Mark Schaefer of {grow} in which he touches upon several issues which confront all of us who are trying to keep our heads above water in the ever-evolving world of Social Media.
To quote: "Not only do the platforms shift every day, the rules of engagement change constantly, too. Can anybody keep up with the real (and rumored) changes just to Facebook's EdgeRank formula? What we considered best practices six months ago are passé today. Social media is overwhelming, especially when there is pressure to master every new platform that comes along How do you keep up?."
Remember:
** Platforms may change but marketing fundamentals remain the same
** Absolutely nobody can navigate this changing world alone as there are too many facets to it, so form a mutually beneficial support group.
** There's too much informationfor any one person to keep on top of all of it, so pick a main focus and try really hard to keep mainly to that.
** Know your audience and go where you will find them. This might mean giving up on one of the major platforms. Swallow hard and do it!
** The more successful you become and the more your reach grows, the less time you will have to engage one-on-one with people. Don't let yourself feel guilty about this as it is inevitable.
** Go to a trusted source for information but be warned: Such a place may not (yet) exist.
