LinkedIn posting tips

  • Weekdays 7 AM–5 PM; weekends have no strong window.
  • Tue–Thu list a ~9 AM peak. If you only schedule one LinkedIn post a week, put it there first.
  • Longer posts usually get more reading time mid-week than Friday afternoon.
  • Schedule into these slots in SocialRobot. They are the same for every account and don’t adapt to your company page yet.

Why these windows

Day by day: the best day to post on LinkedIn is Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, the three days that mark a peak near 9 AM inside the 7 AM to 5 PM band. Monday and Friday carry the same band without the peak. Saturday and Sunday have no strong window, so a weekend LinkedIn post is the weakest slot of the week. Publishing once a week, aim for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning. Publishing twice, pair one of those mornings with a Monday afternoon. Company Pages follow the same pattern, which is why the day matters more here than the exact minute.
