I've Got It
I just edited a video that's ready to be uploaded. But I'm unsure of what day to make it live? Should i push it tomorrow? Or wait till Friday which is considered a "better" day? ._.
 
I would try to be consistent with your uploads, try to upload on the same day of the week so your viewers know when to come back.
 
Just type in google "Best time to upload YouTube" and there's a whole thing for it with certain times and as the above said. BE CONSISTENT! same time/day everytime

I say Friday because it allows your followers to wait and be edcited for your video! I'm intrigued by hearing that u could post it Friday because then I want to know what it is!
 
This is always a toss up. At the end, it's the content that drives the views/watchtime (along with enticing titles and thumbnails). I've uploaded videos in the morning, late at night, weekends, weekdays, all different types of time. One thing I can say for sure is that weekends are the weakest times to upload (not including Fridays). Day of time is almost moot for me unless it's at an obviously bad time (past 11PM).

Honestly, any time during the weekday (with some positive trend towards Thursday and Friday) should be fine. Just woke up after and ready to publish? Go for it. Worked all Thursday afternoon and ready to publish at night? Why not.
 
I post at any time or day and dont seem to see any difference/improvement regardless. Nor do I have a regular timetable. I just post when I have something ready.
 
I'm going to start experimenting with uploading at a certain time of the day. I upload every Tuesday / Saturday currently and if I have a video that I really want to put out I'll upload it on a random day.
 
Because I live in the UK Timezone I tend to upload my videos at about 4:30-5:00 because that's the time people arrive home from work at or start coming home from work at so when they log into YouTube, because my upload is so fresh, it will appear first on their subscriptions list.

It's also an optimal time for students because its after school hours.

You need to consider your audiences behaviors to determine when the best time to post is. For example, if my audience is white collar workers, then the best time to post would be Monday at lunch time. This is because my corporate audience will be at lunch and surfing the internet at this time.

Ask yourself, "When is my audience surfing the web looking for content?"
