I finally cracked the algorithm on LinkedIn by posting at 6am on Wednesdays

I tried posting at random times for months and got like 50 views max, but last week I switched to 6am Wednesday and a single post hit 2,000 views. Has anyone else noticed a weird sweet spot time that just works better for their niche?

6am is an odd choice since most people are still asleep or just waking up, the real engagement window usually hits around 8am to 9am when folks actually start scrolling. Did your analytics show people were active at that early hour or was it just a lucky outlier?

Heard this same exact thing from my buddy Mark who runs a local coffee shop page. He tried posting at 6am for a whole month because he saw some guru recommend it. @gonzalez.anna you're spot on about the 8 to 9 window, Mark's analytics showed almost no one was interacting until after 7:30 when people actually started waking up and grabbing their phones. His best engagement came from 8:15am when everyone was settled into their morning commute or at their desks. That 6am slot only worked for him like twice and it was probably just people who wake up super early for jobs or workouts. Did your own tests match up with that 8am sweet spot or did you find something different?
