What’s the Best Time to Publish Your Stories on Medium?

Here’s my unscientific field study findings.

One of the burning questions I often ponder about writing on Medium is when is the best time to publish your stories.

As with all questions about Medium, it depends. Ha!

So, I did some very unscientific research and found lots of opinions on this topic and most are contradictory.

• Some say publish in the early morning Monday through Thursday and never on weekends.
• Others say at lunch time or closer to midnight.
• And don’t get me started on time zones — an unfathomable factor.

You are now entering the Time Zone Factor

There are about 24 time zones in the world to consider and then there’s UTC or Universal Time Coordinated, which is the 24-hour time standard used by atomic clocks based on the Earth’s rotation. How cool!
