Content Scheduler

Discover the best times to post based on your audience, timezone, and content type. Plan your content calendar for maximum reach.

The Science of Post Timing

Posting at the right time can significantly increase your reach and engagement. Our scheduler uses research on audience behavior patterns to recommend optimal times.

General Best Times to Post

Based on aggregate data across industries:

Platform Best Times
Instagram 11AM-1PM and 7-9PM (local time)
Facebook 8-9AM, 12-1PM, and 5-6PM
Twitter 8-10AM and 6-9PM
LinkedIn 7:30-8:30AM, 12PM, and 5-6PM

How Content Type Affects Timing

  • Images: Perform best in early evening (5-7PM)
  • Videos: Longer videos do well mid-day (12-2PM), shorts in evening
  • Text posts: Morning (8-10AM) when people check feeds
  • Stories: Multiple times throughout the day

Audience Size Considerations

Larger audiences may need more frequent posting to reach all segments, while smaller audiences benefit from concentrated posting when most are active.

Creating an Effective Content Calendar

1. Balance Your Content Mix

Aim for a healthy variety of content types:

  • 30% Educational/How-to
  • 25% Entertaining
  • 20% Inspirational
  • 15% Promotional
  • 10% Behind-the-scenes

2. Plan Around Key Dates

Mark these in your calendar:

  • Industry events/conferences
  • Holidays (both major and niche)
  • Product launches/anniversaries
  • Seasonal changes

3. Create Theme Days

Establish consistency with themed content:

  • Motivation Monday
  • Tip Tuesday
  • Behind-the-scenes Wednesday
  • Throwback Thursday
  • Feature Friday (user-generated content)

4. Batch Create Content

Save time by creating content in batches:

  1. Dedicate a day for ideation
  2. Shoot multiple photos/videos at once
  3. Write captions in batches
  4. Schedule posts in advance

5. Leave Room for Flexibility

While planning is important, leave 20-30% of your calendar open for:

  • Trending topics
  • Current events
  • Spontaneous content
  • Engagement with followers
