Is there a best time to post on TikTok or is that a myth? I keep seeing different charts everywhere.

Ignore the generic charts. Your best time is when your own followers are online, and TikTok shows you that in analytics under follower activity. As a default before you have data, weekday evenings around 6 to 9pm and weekends work. But timing is the smallest lever here. TikTok keeps pushing a good video for days, so a strong hook matters far more than the minute you posted.

Timing is the smallest lever

TikTok pushes good videos for days, so the hook beats the clock every time.

Use your own analytics

Follower activity in your analytics tells you more than any generic chart.

Start with evenings

Weekday evenings and weekends are a fine default until you have your data.

Consistency wins

Posting daily at an okay time beats posting rarely at the perfect one.

I posted the same video at two different times as a test and the difference was tiny. The hook is what actually mattered.

Check your analytics, do not guess. My audience is most active at lunch, nothing like the evening charts everyone repeats.

Honestly just post consistently. I wasted weeks optimizing timing when I should have been making better videos.
