Working-Days: Best Times to Post on TikTok

You might ask: “What is the best time to post TikTok in the week?”

The answer is: There’s no established time. If every TikToker were to post at the same time, nobody would get any views — that’s why you’ll have to figure out what works for your account.

It all depends on your region and your audience’s.

We’ll give you a helping hand though:

  • Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are the best days to post TikToks.
  • The average best times are: 6 AM → 10 AM, as well as 7 PM → 11 PM.

1. Monday

Importance of TikTok Post-Times

The timing of your posts on TikTok significantly impact their performance.

Here’s why it matters:

  1. Posting during peak activity times helps your content appear in more users’ feeds, improving its chances of being seen and interacted with.
  2. Videos posted at optimal times are more likely to receive immediate engagement, which can boost their ranking in the TikTok algorithm and lead to further exposure.

Posting at times when your target audience is most active increases the likelihood of higher engagement rates, including views, likes, and comments.
