Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Based on 35 videos

The videos we analysed went up most often on Monday and Thursday.

Posting Frequency

How often the account posts, against the typical tracked creator. It tells you whether to expect a steady stream or occasional drops.

Not shown for this account. The 35 videos we analysed include 1 pinned video, which TikTok keeps at the top of a profile however old it is. Counting it stretches the date range, so a weekly rate from this sample would understate how often the account posts. The day and hour charts count the same videos.
