Finding the best time to post on Instagram

Users of the global social network are wondering: when is the best time to post a photo or video in order to collect a lot of likes? Although recently the number of likes has not been displayed anywhere, the desire to show oneself to as many people as possible still does not leave users. Let’s figure out when is the best time to post on Instagram. To do this, it is advisable to consider popular daily routines and take into account some statistical points.

Subscriber’s daily routine

If you run a personal blog, posting photos or videos for friends and acquaintances, and not bothering with reach or number of story views, then there is not much difference between posting times. But when commercial projects, advertising integrations are tied to the profile, it is important to know the daily routine of the audience. It varies from account to account. But the basic things remain the same.

Suppose that a person gets up in the morning on an alarm clock, washes his face, prepares breakfast and proceeds to it. Previously, the morning meal was accompanied by a roundup of news, anecdotes on the radio. Now people are scrolling through the news feed on Instagram. And as a result: morning publications. The best time is from 7 am to 9 am. At this time, most people gather and go to work. Why not scroll through the feed while waiting for the right bus? You can also pass the waiting time for the morning train.

Then lunch at work. It comes from 12 to 14 days. Much depends on the place of work and routine. It is rather difficult to name the exact time. But time intervals are delineated. During lunch, you can talk with colleagues, have a delicious lunch at the nearest coffee shop and … that’s right, check the updates on social networks.

Evening comes. And accordingly, the rest, which, by the way, everyone spends in different ways. The evening option for publications will be from 18 to 21. At this time, most users are online and will see a new photo or story.

According to the statistics shared by experts, the best day of the week for publications is Thursday.

Instagram algorithms

Yes, they help to select more interesting content. Yes, you see in most cases interesting ads. But social network algorithms are not always ready to show your publication to subscribers. If you are not a major thousandth or millionaire blogger, then there is a chance that the post will be lost among brand publications, advertising and other tricks. Unfortunately, this is the case now.

Previously, Instagram posts were displayed in chronological order. This means that a selfie from Friday walk, which is published on the same day, will be displayed to subscribers exactly when you shared it. The post will not be closed by advertised profiles with integrations and a large number of subscribers.

How to bypass algorithms efficiently?

It is possible to do this in part.

• Post stories and posts.
• Do not disappear from the social network for a long time.
• Be active (like, comment and save others’ posts).
• Post interesting content that subscribers will interact with.
• Post photos and videos at recommended times (remember: morning, afternoon, and evening?)
• If you are focused on blog development, then invest in advertising.
