Tried posting at 6am instead of noon and got 3x the reach

I usually drop my stuff around lunch but last Tuesday I posted a quick tip about photo framing at 6:10am. It got 1,200 views in the first hour, way more than my usual 400. Anybody else see big swings from changing post times?

1200 views in the first hour is wild. I find morning times like 6-8am way better for me too. Do you think it matters more what day you post or just the time itself? Like I've had big swings on Tuesday mornings versus Friday mornings.

yeah time matters way more than day in my experience. i tested this for like 3 months straight and mornings 5-8am were consistently my best window no matter if it was a tuesday or a friday. afternoons around 2-3pm are a distant second but still way better than lunchtime which never worked for me. i'd try testing a couple different morning slots like 6am vs 7:30am and see which one sticks cause the first hour engagement really snowballs from there. also don't sleep on weekends mornings either my saturday 7am posts sometimes outdo weekdays by a lot.

Sat 7am is my secret weapon too, I swear people are just scrolling in bed with their coffee and actually click stuff. Took me forever to learn that weekend mornings hit different than weekday mornings, totally separate audiences.
