Best time to post a video?

[natnip]

I currently schedule my videos for 6pm BST, which is 11-1pm in the various US times, but with people going back to school, from a point of view where you focus on peak traffic times, would it be better to post at around 9pm BST if people in the US generally get out of school at around 2-3pm?

I upload mine at 5pm and mostly focus on viewers in the country I am in and targeting at them on the first day. The second day I would share it on social media targeting other countries and time zones

This is where the analytics are your friend! Check it out to see when/what days people are checking out your videos. From there, you can cater your schedule around those needs, and give yourself some space by doing it between certain times. So if a lot of people were watching at 2PM, you can say you'll post videos between the time of 1-3.

I typically like to put up content around 3-5 west coast time.

A Monday afternoon after a hard day of school.

Nah just kidding lol

Most of my videos are uploaded when I finish them or scheduled for the afternoon or morning in case I finish them at night.

Though the Monday afternoon thing isn't so bad, I like watching YouTube videos when I'm finally home from college :U

EDIT: I just realized that you're already doing the 'after school' thing, I didn't read your post correctly, oops!

It makes no difference. Unless you're a daily blog with millions of subs the time you post has no effect on your total views. I'd post as soon as you're done with the video.
