Frequently asked questions
- When is the best time to post on LinkedIn?
- According to our industry benchmark: Wednesday 9 a.m. is the peak slot, closely followed by Tuesday and Thursday 9–11 a.m. (Europe/Berlin). Mornings consistently beat afternoons.
- Which weekdays work best on LinkedIn?
- Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — the classic core office days. On Mondays the feed only warms up late morning; on Fridays engagement drops noticeably from noon.
- Is it worth posting on LinkedIn at the weekend?
- Hardly: Saturday and Sunday reach only about a quarter of the peak scores in the benchmark — LinkedIn is a working-hours network. Exception: very personal formats can stand out in the quiet competition (editorial assessment).
- When should you NOT post on LinkedIn?
- Evenings after 7 p.m. and weekends have the lowest scores. Early mornings before 7 a.m. also yield little — the feed gets read at office start between 8 and 9 a.m.
