I have created these schedules just as a bit of a guideline, and examples of “shifts” I have worked and what has worked for me. It’s important you trial your own. It’s always helpful to write down any busy spells you have, keeping track of what days, and times work best for you. Every model is different. Some models preform better in the morning, whereas others perform better in the evening etc.
My best advice, is for your first few weeks, get on as much as possible at different times and see what works best for YOU.
It’s key to remember that to get the best traffic, you should always hourly feature. I set myself a rule, that is; if I make the hourly bid money back within the hour, I will then feature the next hour. For example: If hourly bidding between 9am – 10am is 3 credits, and within that hour I make 20 credits, I’ve made my money back and more, so it’s then worth featuring the next hour too (so 10am until 11am). This way, you boost your profile traffic massively!
