You may not have noticed, but for a couple of weeks I wrote my posts the day before my usual post days and then scheduled them to be delivered at 4 am Mountain Time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
The result? My readership increased 25%!
I think the reason for that is because my subscribers on the East Coast got the posts at 6 am their time, making it possible for them to read the missives before they went off to work.
So…starting next week, I’m going to be sending all of my posts at 4 am MST, but on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays instead of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
The reason for this new schedule is because I’m an early riser. I usually get up between 4 and 5 am. Early mornings are my sweet spot for writing. But for me to get a post out by 4 am my time, I’d have to start writing around 1 am.
It’s also difficult to write my posts the day before because for the Monday post I’d have to write during the weekend.
So my plan is to continue writing my posts on my current M,W,F schedule and then send them to you on Tu,Th,S.
I hope you enjoy the change. See you next Tuesday.
