It’s no surprise that TikTok has blown up over the years – with ease of posting, a continuous stream of content and the ability to maximize creativity – the platform has given brands an exciting platform to reach target markets.
To help you out even further, it’s best to make sure that TikTok users are active at the times you even post.
Developing your content plan around this will dramatically increase your engagement and give you the results you’re after.
Today, we’re talking about all things TikTok posting, and what time is best to maximize success.
With thousands of brands and businesses joining the platform daily, it’s safe to say that competition is fierce.
Knowing when is the best time to post will help you find a level of control, ensuring your content will receive more engagement.
Utilising tips such as posting at the right times will give you the extra edge to stand out from the ground and make your content matter.
There is a lot of research showing when users are most likely on TikTok, but each customer base is vastly different.
Are your followers in one timezone, or in several? Are they of the same age group, or does it vary?
All of these considerations and more will help you determine the best time to post on the platform, giving you bang for your buck (and time, and money).
Whilst there is factual research to back up specific times to post, a little bit of logic also goes a long way.
People are more likely to scroll through social media when not preoccupied with work or school – so think of posting early in the morning, during lunch, post-work or late at night.
Take advantage of weekends, too – people tend to sleep in the mornings and relax later on in the afternoon, so being mindful of this will also help.
Knowing where your followers are located is helpful – you can upgrade to TikTok Pro and use TikTok Analytics for this.
