That means you need to spend time determining when the best time is to schedule your posts so that they have the greatest visibility to your target audience. The best times vary by channel, as users seek different types of information from each one. LinkedIn is cited by many B2B marketers as the most effective channel for them to reach fellow business decision makers, and it just makes sense that weekdays tend to provide the best results. ![Jones-complete-social-media-guide-linkedin-whentopost](https://www.jonespr.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/July%202020/Jones-complete-social-media-guide-linkedin-whentopost.png?width=1412&name=Jones-complete-social-media-guide-linkedin-whentopost.png) In particular, statistics show that first thing in the morning and early evening posts have the highest levels of engagement, as business owners and professionals start and end their day by checking in on what is happening in the business world and in their industry. That doesn’t mean you should only post at those times, however. Do some testing on your own and monitor your metrics, especially if you have reason to believe that your specific audience may have a different preferred schedule. It is also important to make the most of your daily LinkedIn post. *([Here’s why we say “daily”](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/social-media-linkedin-daily)**.)* With multiple channels to manage, each with different optimal timing, it can be complicated to keep track of social media content.
