When is the best time to post on Instagram?

Many people think Friday, the weekend the afternoon. However, we do not need to guess! Instagram provides users directly with the tools to see the best time to be posting. 

When you have a business account, creator account, "Just for Fun" account or really any professional account you have access to these tools.

1. Head to your Instagram Page

2. Click on "Professional Dashboard" underneath your bio.

3. Click on "Total Followers"

4. Scroll all the way to the bottom

5. Look through the most active times Sunday thru Saturday and choose a day/time to post.

This however is based off of your profile individually. When your followers are most active which is great for community engagement with your current audience however it is not very helpful in growing and expanding.

To know the right time to post to reach non-followers is a different story.

On weekdays the best time is between 7am-8am before people are at work! Sunday evening at 7pm is a high ranking time.

Reaching non-followers comes down to many components.

1. Reels are the best way to reach non-followers and grow, posting at least 10 reels a month should maximize growth potential.

2. Utilizing keywords in your caption, bio, hashtags, and content.

3. Keep reels under 90 seconds.

4. Make original content that stands out!
