Tips for posting on YouTube
- Publish a few hours before your audience's peak so the video is indexed and recommended in time.
- Weekends and Thursday/Friday evenings are strong viewing windows.
- YouTube is search- and suggestion-driven, so a video keeps earning views long after upload — timing only shapes the first push.
These windows are a benchmark starting point. Pair them with the full best-time overview for every platform, then test against your own analytics.
