Use your Timezone to your Advantage

Your success on Medium can depend on it

When the writers and editors of Medium start to buzz in the US and the UK, Kiwis and Aussies are in REM sleep. (At least they should be!)

Can cause FOMO for a Kiwi like me who’s 21 hours ahead of PST.

Whinging doesn’t solve the problem. And ‘night-owling’ has serious repercussions on one’s health.

So, here’s what I do:

• Write and submit posts ahead of time so they are at the front of the queue.
• Align Social Media posts to the peak PST hours using a scheduling app.
• Retweet the trending tweets before others wake up.
• Be one of the first to read and comment on fresh posts. Popular writers are likely to notice the first few comments.

It’s working for me.

How is your timezone treating you?
