We're such a new channel that we haven't figured it out yet. The goal is to have a regular time but if scheduling 8:00 am seems to be our target as a kids channel. That being said we've done 6:30am, 6:00am, 10:30am. Nothing really clear yet which is better as we are changing too many variables at once to tell.

Depending on the age of your audience, it's a good idea to have a fixed day of the week and time when you upload so that people can expect when your next upload is. I follow some people on youtube and I know exaxctly how late their video is uploaded and get onto youtube to watch it.
Also, when you have a following, you'll see that there are peaks in traffic, usually at the same time every day. When you launch your video, you should aim for a time when most of your subscribers are on YT. The first 24 hours of the video is critical for the algorithm to decide how much they will promote it. View velocity is also very important for this. So if you upload 2 hours before the peak, you will have a lot of volume to your new video and you have the velocity as well.

Ive been playing around and I currently upload between 5-6PM UK time.
Personally I dont think it makes any difference.

I have found uploading first thing in the morning around 9:00 a.m est. Helps dramatically in my videos. Sometimes I cant upload till later because of editing and it really shows a difference. As well as where I promote my videos in the morning is better. Like Reddit is most popular at 9 in the morning as apposed to later in the day.

Cool Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try this next time. I usually upload later due to editing and definitely don't have the greatest 24hr response...[DOUBLEPOST=1493061330,1493061290][/DOUBLEPOST]

Do you have any luck promoting on reddit? I haven't had any traffic come from a video I've posted on that site.

I think it's niche-dependent. Reddit is one of my largest traffic sources, but im also in a very specific niche with loyal followers. So far, no haters and lots of Reddit love and upvotes. Other niches may not be so generous.
