What are the best days to post on TikTok?

Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are the best days to post on TikTok, with views and engagement rates particularly high at certain times of the day. However, it all boils down to when your own followers are most active.

Tuesday: 9 am EST/2 pm GMT

Thursday: 12 am EST/5 am GMT

Friday: 5 am EST/10 am GMT

How to see your TikTok analytics

To see exactly when your followers are most active, you will need to have a Pro Account to see your own TikTok Analytics. You unfortunately cannot see them on a standard account. To get a free Pro Account, follow these steps:

1) Go to your settings and tap 'Manage Account'

2) Tap on 'Switch to Pro Account'

3) Select whether you are a creator account or a business account.

4) Complete the steps in the application.

5) Activate your Pro Account and then find the 'Analytics' button under your account options.

For those that don't have a pro account, Influencer Marketing Hub has also thankfully carried out a study that highlights the best times to post on the app globally. Although, your best results will depend on what timezone your audience is in.
