How Often Should You Post Your Content To Social Media?
The right posting frequency can help you keep your audience engaged — but each social network has its own best practices.
Are you wondering how often you can post to your social channels so you can make an impact?
How much is enough? Or conversely too much?
Figuring out that sweet spot between posting enough to increase your visibility without posting too much to annoy followers can be a tricky balance.
Lucikly for us, Hootsuite has dug into the research and come up with the ideal number of times a day (or week) to post for each platform.
Here’s a quick summary of what they’ve found:
- On Instagram, post between 3–7 times per week.
- On Facebook, post between 1 and 2 times a day.
- On Twitter, post between 1 and 5 Tweets a day.
- On LinkedIn, post between 1 and 5 times a day.
Hootsuite caution that “every social media account is unique, so you should ideally do your own testing and research. This being said, this guide from Hootsuite makes a good starting point for you to start experimenting.
