Why timing matters less than engagement
Posting at a good time gives a post its first push, but the first 30–60 minutes of replies matter more. A small group of founders who reliably engage with you beats perfect timing.
The first hour decides reach
Early replies and reposts tell X a post is worth showing to more people. Good timing only gets you into that first hour.
Replies beat likes
X's ranking weighs replies far more than likes. Ask a real question and answer everyone who replies.
Consistency beats a perfect slot
Posting at the same times each week teaches your audience when to look for you.
How to find your own best time
- Post at the same two or three times for two weeks.
- Compare impressions and replies in X analytics.
- Keep the winning slot, test one new one each week.
