Post, no Malone!

You heard me!
The right time is:

NOW!

Scheduled posting.

Sometimes you may find yourself with an influx of what you consider to be great ideas.
Times like these, you may decide to write multiple posts at once.

Save them somewhere and release them one by one.

Scheduling the releases of your post can gather more attention to them!

Let's say you have 10 posts you'd like to post.
If you release them all at once, within say, an hour, you've now shown those 10 posts all to the same fresh eyes that are on during that one hour interval.
Now let's say you pace the release of the posts to 15 minutes!
Now, you're reaching an audience of whoever may be on in any given 15 minute time-frame.
This can honestly be either hit or miss, as you may have people just logging on or just logging out as well.
Some might see your first post or two and then log out and miss the others, but, if those posts intrigue them.. they may potentially come back to your page or follow you to see what else you'll post!
At the same time, you'll reach new eyes by pacing your posts and the new eyes can always view your page and your previous posts to scan your content for posts they may like!

Another scenario.. let's say you posted those 10 in 1 hr and a whale logs in shortly after your posts have vanished from the new page's first few hundred posts..
Now you've potentially missed a whale's attention by posting all that content at once.
Had you posted it in intervals, one of your articles may have caught their attention and with them being released every so often, there's more of a likelihood of those posts showing up at the top of the new page for that whale's eyes to see, yet again.

The fact of the matter is, pacing yourself, in my opinion, allows you to reach a wider audience, as we are all in different time zones, places, states of mind, schedules, habits.. It all contributes to when and how someone might possibly see your content on steemit!

Pre-written posts.

Sometimes it's a good idea to write a post even if you do not plan on releasing it right away.
This is due to many reasons!
Say, for example, you forgot what you were going to write about later on!
That would suck MAJORLY if you had a great idea and didn't get it out right away..

It also gives you time to edit your posts, re-evaluate and re-examine them, as well as to proofread it and make any final edits.
You never know, you may have made spelling errors..
Forgotten that picture..
Forgotten to link something..
Forgotten a video..
Forgotten a whole sentence..
Forgotten to edit something properly..
Forgotten something, anything, pertinent to your post!

The fact of the matter is.. we're humans (well, you guys are. ;) )!
We're GOING to make mistakes!
It's better to be able to fix them before an initial release of a post instead of having to edit it later on!

Don't make it a chore!

It may seem like work, at times..
But don't let your posting become a chore.
Do it when you're comfortable!
Do it when you're relaxed and can think properly!

Posting here on steemit shouldn't be a hassle or a headache.. it should be fun! :)
