Summary / Details

In my first study in Analysis part of Utopian I would like to collect information and share with you my analysis about best times to post on Steemit. So my main question is "When to post to earn more?" Like every website Steemit has various number of visitors from different countries at different times during a day. I thought that getting one week as sample data and investigating total earnings of posts on each hour for each day is logical. This is what I did in this analysis.

Outline

The analysis will cover these points in this analysis.

  • Total Payments of Posts for each Hour Daily between Jan 29 - Feb 4
  • Total Payments of Posts for each Hour for one Week

Tools & Work Details

Scope of Analysis

Timeframe of my data is the interval Jan 29 - Feb 4. It is the nearest week which has not got any pending payout
.

I used DBeaver which is an universal SQL client. It is free multi-platform database tool for developers, SQL programmers, database administrators and analysts. I connected to SteemSQL which is a publicly available Microsoft SQL database containing all the Steem blockchain data.

After connection I created data for each day usign the code below. I take the list of all posts which has any payout - payout is bigger than 0 (any up-vote in our specific example). I took data of created (which states when did the post or comment is created) and total_payout_value.

[created] > '2018-02-01 00:00:00' and [created] < '2018-02-02 00:00:00' and total_payout_value > 0

After I fetch tables using the code. I created Google Drive documents (spreadsheets) for each day and copy all data to those documents to create tables on it and to share all my work with you using Google Drive links you can find in results section.

Results

In each result under Hour section 0 states for GMT 00:00-01:00, 1 states for GMT 01:00-02:00, 2 states for 02:00-03:00 and goes on.

Conculusion
GMT 13:00-20:00 is important

What I got from my analysis GMT 13:00-20:00 is the best time interval to post on Steemit if you are targeting world-wide (your post's language is English). This time interval is intersection for people in both Europe and US.

GMT 15:00-16:00 and 18:00-19:00 lucky time intervals

For being more specific if you post between 15:00-16:00 and 18:00-19:00 you have better chance to earn more according to my analysis.

Sunday is not best option

Also sunday is not best option if you can also plan to change your day for posting. This might be reasoned that many people on Steem community has work with computers during their daily life however sunday is weekend and holiday for almost all countries.

Hi @onurkahveci, great to see a new contributor in the analysis section! You've done a good start, but I think your contribution has some issues.

  • The time range of the data you look into is comparably small. While it already gives a trend for the payout vs. creation time, the conclusion about Sundays being the least profitable days is not valid with data from only one Sunday.
  • You completely leave out the amount of posts created. If there is double the amount of payout, but three times the amount of posts at two given times of the day, the hour with the higher payout is actually less profitable.
  • Your graphs have different y-scales which makes them hard to compare visually. The connection between the date and the day of the week would have been helpful as well. Had to look up in my calendar which date was the Sunday you mentioned ;)
