January’s recap article: Month One Recap of 365 Days of Publishing
I’ll preface this February’s statistics with a recap of the specifics on my process and what has been part of this ongoing experiment so far.
The Specifics
- I publish one article each day on LinkedIn.
- That article is soon republished on Medium, and on my personal website,MichaelLuchies.com. In February, this was not done as consistently as in January.
- For the first month, I published the majority of articles from 7-8am CST. In February, I published nearly all of the articles in between 12-1pm CST. For March, I plan to publish around 12-1am CST.
- The article is promoted on my LinkedIn page, Twitter page, and Facebook fan page.
- I only promote the LinkedIn post.
