Learn the best times to post on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest in 2025. ICT social media coach Nick Baldwin shares new data-backed tips to boost your post visibility and engagement.
If you’re not seeing engagement on your social media posts, you might be overlooking a surprisingly powerful factor: timing. According to Sprout Social’s recent analysis of over 2.5 billion engagements, when you post can be just as important as what you post.
In 2025, posting at the right time is more important than ever—especially if you’re trying to get your content seen, liked, and shared. Let’s break it down by platform so you can make smarter, data-informed decisions.
VIDEO: Best Times to Post on Social Media in 2025: What the Data Says
The Best Times to Post by Platform
📅 Instagram & TikTok:
Best engagement window: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, Monday through Thursday
Why? These platforms thrive when users are taking mid-morning breaks. People are in scroll mode but not quite distracted yet.
📅 Facebook:
Best engagement window: Around midday, especially 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
People check Facebook on lunch breaks or while multitasking at their desks. This sweet spot is perfect for catching eyes during downtime.
📅 LinkedIn:
Best engagement window: 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM, Monday to Thursday
LinkedIn audiences are typically early risers checking in before work begins. If you’re posting to a professional audience, timing matters even more.
📅 Pinterest:
Best engagement window: Lunchtime hours, typically around 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Pinterest traffic peaks when people are dreaming, planning, or seeking inspiration mid-day.
Why Wednesdays Win
Across platforms, mid-morning on Wednesdays often performs best. Why? People are past the Monday chaos, into their weekly groove, and not yet mentally checking out like they tend to do on Fridays.
If you have one big piece of content to share each week—make Wednesday your go-to launch day.

Welcome to the world of social media.
In today's digital age, having a strong social media presence isn't just an option for real estate agents—it's essential for survival in an increasingly competitive market.
With 97% of home buyers starting their search online and spending countless hours scrolling through social media, agents who aren't actively building their digital presence are leaving significant opportunities on the table.
Facebook, Instagram and YouTube's massive user base and sophisticated targeting tools make it the ideal platform for reaching potential clients exactly when they're ready to make real estate decisions.
The most critical takeaway from this course is understanding how to work with the algorithms to ensure your content actually reaches your intended audience. Many agents waste hours creating content that never gets seen because they don't understand how content is prioritized and posts are distributed.
Our course demystifies this process, showing you exactly how to create content that generates meaningful engagement and leads.
Whether you're still struggling to create your first Facebook business page or you're already running ads but not seeing results, this course meets you where you are.
For beginners, we break down complex concepts into actionable steps, starting with the basics of setting up a professional presence and creating engaging content.
For experienced agents, we dive deep into advanced strategies like leveraging AI for content creation, maximizing ad spend through strategic targeting, and building engaged community groups that generate consistent referrals. You'll learn not just what to do, but why it works—empowering you to adapt these strategies as social media continues to evolve.
Stop wasting time on social media strategies that don't work.
In this specialized role coaching program, you will transform your real estate business with our comprehensive social media marketing course designed specifically for agents.
From mastering the algorithms to creating converting content, this course teaches you exactly how to leverage Facebook, Instagram & YouTube's user base to generate qualified leads and showcase properties effectively.
Stop wasting time on social media strategies that don't work. Our course features real-world examples from successful agents, step-by-step tutorials and actionable insights you can implement immediately.
Don't let your listings get lost in the news feed. Master digital marketing and transform your social media presence into a lead-generating machine. Add to CartTalk to a coach

Tweak by Platform, But Stay Consistent
Here’s what I recommend:
Batch your content ahead of time and use a scheduler (like Later, Metricool, or Buffer) to post during those high-engagement windows.
Test and learn – your audience might have its own patterns. Use insights from each platform to monitor what works best.
Avoid Friday afternoons and weekends unless your content is evergreen and lifestyle-focused.
Pro Tip: Combine Timing with Strong Content
Timing alone won’t save a weak post. But combining strong messaging with optimal timing can supercharge your engagement. Always lead with value and follow up with consistency.
If you’re still not seeing the engagement you want, it may be time to tweak your content strategy, hook lines, or CTA structure. (Spoiler alert: we’ve got courses for that.)
In 2025, posting at the right time is more important than ever—especially if you’re trying to get your content seen, liked, and shared.
