I decided to share this survey with you to help you promote your blog better than ever. Consider this post as a “choose your own adventure” novel, as I did when writing it.

Growing your email list is an amazingly vicious cycle. You get subscribers, email them when an article goes live, they go read it and then share it with people. Then those people subscribe and the cycle delightfully continues.
MailChimp conducted an impressive study when it included a time-saving feature in its email marketing software. Essentially, they wanted to know the best days and times to send emails when there is intense activity in the recipient’s inbox.

John, from MailChimp, points out that no day really wins, but there is definitely a trend: working days work best to promote your posts by email. And for me, it seems that there are small peaks on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The best time to send an email is at 10 a.m. in your time zone. John points out that the peak here is less than 7% of the total inboxes, so there is a lot of variety at a time when people actually check their email. And it becomes even more diverse, depending on your industry, with some peak hours before 10 am.
