However the best time to post on Social Media is usually in the late afternoon to the early evening time. Why is that? Because by then it's the end of the day and people aren't in such a rush to get ready for work and have more time on their hands and are likely to spend more time using social media compared to the mornings and afternoons and you have a better chance of them engaging with that content too.

I never even thought there would be social media dead times if I am honest with you. My times for posting to social media have always been in the morning at say around 9am-10am specifically to Facebook so it would seem I don't hit the dead times. You would think that because social media is so popular you wouldn't have any kind of dead times or at least not overly dead between those times as there is always someone in the world awake and using social media, it's just a case of reaching that active audience when you post during the dead times.

I would have thought evening times between say 4pm and 11pm would be the best times to post to social media and also anytime during the morning and afternoon on a Sunday. These times I would have thought would be more active times on Social Media seen as people are not working and browsing social media to catch up on the days events.

I guess the dead zone depends on the time zones. I have noticed that my Facebook friends are more active during the time after breakfast. Maybe it is the morning hour that they use their phones for social media. Another peak time is after dinner, that’s about 8 pm until midnight. But in the early morning, it is a dead zone because most of my friends in Facebook are still asleep.
