According to Matt Gielen of Frederator Networks, one of the most common questions he receives is, “When is the best time to post my videos?” Frederator Networks compiled data across their network of over 1,300 channels and 120,000,000 monthly views.

They do recognize that their demographic skews more male in comparison to YouTube at large, although their average viewer age range of 13 to 34-year-olds is typical of YouTube’s audience as a whole. They also observe that their sample is 40% U.S.-based, which is double YouTube as a whole.

Allowing for the above factors, Frederator Networks found the best times to post on YouTube to be:

• Mondays 2-4 pm
• Tuesdays 2-4 pm
• Wednesdays 2-4 pm
• Thursdays noon -3pm
• Fridays noon -3pm
• Saturdays 9 am-11 am
• Sundays 9 am-11 am

The best days to post, according to Frederator Networks, are Thursday and Friday.
