Tips for Posting on TikTok

Post consistently

A regular posting schedule trains the algorithm and keeps your audience engaged.

Track your analytics

These are benchmarks — your actual best times depend on where your audience is located.

Consider time zones

These times are general benchmarks. Adjust for your primary audience's time zone.

Let the Smart Scheduler find your times

A Pro workspace learns your audience's real activity and publishes at your personal best times.

Pro workspace

Find when your TikTok audience is actually scrolling

Benchmarks are a starting point. The Smart Scheduler learns from your own TikToks and auto-publishes each video at your best times, plus as Shorts and Reels if you like.

Smart Scheduler

Learns when your own audience engages and suggests your best slots, not industry averages.

Auto-publishing

Schedule once and it posts to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for you.

One idea, every platform

Adapt one video or post for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook and schedule them together.
