How To Find the Best Time to Post on TikTok
In order to get the analytics needed to decipher the best times and how often you need to post on your account, you need to start somewhere. TikTok is a global community and people all over the world will see your content at different times. We recommend posting in the morning, early afternoon, late afternoon, and in the evening over a period of time and delve into your analytics to see when it’s your best time to post on TikTok.
The great thing about the TikTok “For Your Page” is it will serve your content to those that are interested whether you have a ton of followers or a few, however none of the content is usually over a day old, this means you have to post regularly to show up on the page. Consistently trying out various times over a few weeks should give you an idea of who your audience is, when they’re online, and your best times for posting.
Through various experiments, Hootsuite has found there are generally a few best times to post on TikTok. These times may or may not work for you but are worth throwing in the mix to see how they perform for you:
- Tuesday: 7 AM PST
- Thursday: 10 AM PST
- Friday: 5 AM PST
Creating content takes a lot of creativity and most of all work. You definitely want to ensure your work is seen by as many eyes as possible and taking the extra steps to define your audience and get an idea of the best times to post may seem like a hard task, but you will reap the benefits in the long run.
