Posting

Best time to post

The best time to post on LinkedIn varies depending on your target audience and their online activity.

However, studies and general observations suggest that the most effective times to post on LinkedIn are:

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays

Between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM (local time) for morning engagement

12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (local time) during lunchtime

5:00 PM to 6:00 PM (local time) after work hours

Keep in mind that these are only general recommendations, and the optimal posting time for your specific audience might differ.

To determine the best time to post for your audience, monitor your LinkedIn analytics and track engagement on your posts.

Here is a framework or system to help you stick to the best posting times:

Create a content calendar

Plan your posts in advance and create a schedule that outlines what content you will share and when. This calendar can be weekly or monthly, depending on your preference.

Set reminders or use scheduling tools

Set reminders on your calendar or use scheduling tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, or LinkedIn's built-in scheduling feature (available for company pages) to automate your posts. This way, you don't have to worry about manually posting at the optimal time.

Test and analyze

Continuously test different posting times and monitor your engagement metrics to identify patterns in your audience's behavior. If you notice that a particular time consistently yields better engagement, adjust your posting schedule accordingly.

Engage with your audience

After posting, be sure to monitor comments and engage with your audience. Responding to comments and participating in discussions can help to further increase the visibility of your posts.

Be consistent

Maintain a consistent posting frequency to keep your audience engaged and to increase the likelihood of your content being seen. This could be daily, a few times per week, or even weekly, depending on your goals and the quality of your content.
