2. Platform-Specific Scheduling:
   • Different platforms have different peak times for engagement. Scheduling content based on platform-specific audience behavior is crucial for optimal results.
   • Facebook & Instagram: Best times to post are typically early mornings (7 am to 9 am) or late evenings (8 pm to 10 pm) based on when users are most active.
   • Twitter: Best times tend to be mid-morning (10 am to 12 pm) and late afternoon (4 pm to 6 pm).
