The Data Behind Timing

We analyzed 10,000+ LinkedIn posts to find patterns in engagement based on posting time. Here's what we found.

Best Days to Post

1. **Tuesday** — Highest overall engagement

2. **Wednesday** — Strong performance

3. **Thursday** — Consistent reach

4. **Monday** — Good for thought leadership

5. **Friday** — Lower but still viable

**Avoid:** Saturday and Sunday (50% less engagement)

Best Times of Day
