TikTok posting tips

Afternoons and evenings work best; Saturday has no strong window.
Sunday has one strong slot, at 8 PM.
Queue clips in SocialRobot for those windows instead of publishing whenever you finish editing.

Why these windows

Day by day: the best day on TikTok is Tuesday or Friday, the two days with a midday window (12 PM to 3 PM) on top of the afternoon and evening block. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday concentrate that block (4 PM to 9 PM, Wednesday starting at 5 PM), and Sunday has a single slot at 8 PM. Saturday has no strong window, so treat a Saturday clip as an experiment. Posting twice a week, Tuesday and Friday each give you two windows. Posting daily, keep Sunday at 8 PM and skip Saturday.
