How Often Should You Post on Social Media?

I wish I had a nickel for every time someone asks me this question. The answer is not the same for everyone. The most important thing about social media is consistency. That means it's better to post once every week without fail than it is to post three times a day for two weeks, then disappear for a month until you post again. Two tricks I recommend if you're having trouble staying consistent: 1) Use a post scheduling tool like Meta Planner or Hootsuite, or 2) Add a weekly event or task to your calendar to remind you to post.

 

That being said, here are the official guidelines for how often to post, according to Hootsuite:

Instagram: 3-5 times per week
Instagram Stories: 2-3 times per day
Facebook: 1-2 times per day
Google My Business: At least 1 time per week
LinkedIn: 1-2 times per day
Pinterest: At least 1 time per week
TikTok: 3-5 times per week
X: 2-3 times per day
