I am trying to get more interaction on my social media and more visitors to my site. How often should you be posting on social media? Does it have to more then once a day? Or can you post once a week?

I think more than once per day but don't abuse because you can lose some fans if you spam.
 
I have been using social media marketing for one of my eCommerce websites. They say from around 11am-1pm is the best time to post on social media. Some say the weekends are the worst time to post. Though I feel like everyone on the weekends are on their phones. Maybe its because of weekend plans?

With this Covid-19 I don't really think it matters anymore, at least until this is over. everyone seems to be on their phones and arn't really going places. Which is a good thing to keep this virus down.
 
Guess as often as it takes for you to feel satisfied. It can be as little as once a week, or as much as keeping your status throughout the day. It really depends how dependent one is on social media for other's approval and/or side-hustle income or even main gig.

I think it depends on your niche. If your niche requires a depth in attention span, then posting it on the twitter would be waste of time. In case of some niche say like garden, posting on the instagram and the pinterest would benefit. And if it is a discussion of some sort then you can also share it on facebook. As that would give you more traffic.
 
I have been posting probably once a week on social media and usually it's a meme or an interesting craft I made to promote my craft forum. I don't have followers really because my craft forum is brand new but what I'm doing it sharing my posts to my personal sites and then those get shared. So off into the system it goes!

If my forum was more active I would probably have more content to post on social media but for now once a week should be fine.
 
You certainly don't want to over-do it. I mean, as I said in another post, the goal of marketing is to be attractive and in a position to "be found". Anyway, you all can relate to this, as nobody likes to be pushed around with a sales message.
 
Almost everyday I say. If you have new content on your forum or blog then that needs to be shared and viewed out there. Most forums and blog have social-media buttons and share options that gets tweeted right away, Just remember to use the right tags lol

On my end, I have an automatic feed that posts 10 a day on all social media sites.

True, you don't want to under-do it either. Anyway, though, on Facebook, at least, more than likely you're going to have to pay. However, the prices can be reasonable. One thing to take into mind is the audience.

FB can cost allot over time, but at least there they have a budget option on how much you want to spend each day. Just that for $5 a day do not expect to get much.
 
We shouldn't be addicted to social media.
Checking out the notifications for every two minutes or so, is just not a good thing. Once in an hour or two is fine. The same goes to posting content as well. Do we have to post our lunch habits and other stuff online?

I don't really understand why people do that. I don't use social media at all, except for WhatsApp.
 
I think this depends on your purpose for posting in the social media platforms. If you are promoting your site or affilliate products, then you should post reviews and content severally so as to keep the followers intrested.

I think it might not be compulsory to post on Facebook for even a day since if the person have no relevant information to pass across he could just wait till another day
 
Not so mutch ... perhaps once in month maybe less .. i am not addicted to posting .. i do it because sometimes you have to change something in the profile like the pic of profile
 
Not much, I only post when I want to change the picture of my profile lol or to add something that happened two times per year like the celebrations in my religion that's all
 
It really depends on the type of account you are running, you can be posting very regular to get your customers engaged or you post strategically, it all depends on you.
 
There's not limit to what you can post or when. It is necessary to post frequently so as to create awareness for your product or service.

I think what you are posting on social media should be more important because when the person post frequently without considering that ,i think he or she might lose more followers and this won't be a good thing i think , so its actually best for the person to check what he or she post on social media
 
3 times per week

Most studies agree that once per day is optimal, with a maximum of two posts per day. Hubspot found that pages under 10,000 fans experienced a 50% drop in engagement per post if they posted more than once per day. At a minimum, you should post to your Facebook Pages 3 times per week.
 
I think that everyone is a free man and there are no rules to these things. Posting on social media should be based on what you have to post. If you want traffic you should make more post and that actually helps a lot.

Sometimes according to my mood I posted 3-4 at the same time sometimes not any one .But the mostly useful Social media apps for me are Facebook,Instagram and WhatsApp these I use offen and these are very great apps we can connect to people which are far away from us with the help of these social media accounts
 
If you really want to draw attention or keep people visiting your page busy you should be able to post every day. You don't have to starve your fans or client if really you want to monetize your account.
People love visiting any social media platform that provide them what they want.
 
Posting everyday to keep your viewers in touch in not a bad idea. Customers that are not loyal but view your site might stop if you refuse to feed them as at when they want to be fed with contents.
Customers are quick to switch clients to find the one that can best serve them.
Therefore, one must create contents everyday to satisfy customers needs
 
I think that depends on your reason for being on social media or how much of a free time u have all to yourself per day. If your reason is to gain massive followers or audience then get ready to be online as often as possible and dropping premium contents.
 
Well, to me this should depend on your niche and your goals. If the social media you are using is not complaining or say something about posting limit, I think you should decide how often you post bearing your goals in mind.

There is no limit to the amount of post one could post on the social media. I think it depends on the musé you work with. Someone like me, I post base on inspiration. When I am inspired to write, I can write for a whole day but when there is no inspiration, I can go days without posting anything.
 
This depends on you, your niche and your audience. If your niche calls for posting every one hour, then you do it. If it calls for a post once in a week, do it too. Just make sure you are putting quality out there.

To me, I think there's no time frame or time table for making online post. You can make post or comment as long as you have something cogent and necessary to post. It could be twice or thrice a week. It could also be every day. Just ensure that what ever you post has good content.
 
I believe it was dependent on how Constance you are on social media. but as long as I'm concerned I believe you can post as much as you want on Instagram.
 
Some people have turn social media to their home that they are always present there at all times even without getting anything out of it. Except it be for a business purpose or a social influencer who needs to always update the information, there is no need of posting more than once a day.
 
Most people are on social media because they have something doing, I do not go on social media every time sometimes three times a week sometimes I go everyday it depends on what I have to do there. there's no limited time on when you should go on social media it all depends on you.

There are many social media users who do not understand the use and they always compare themselves with many celebrities whose social media account is their second office. Except you have a very important message to communicate I don't think there is any need to be posting every time.
 
Generally speaking, here is how often your business should post on social media: Facebook: 1 time per day or 5 times per week. Twitter: 3-5 times per day.
 
In my opinion, it depends on various factors, for ex.:
1) do you have goods to sell or services to promote?
2) what's your friends and acquaintance's reason to make use of socials? Do they simply like to useless hang up or they seek for serious activities?
If the answer to the n. 1 is you have business purposes and the answer to the n. 2 is your acquaintances look after serious activities, you need to keep your social pages constantly updated. If the answer to the n. 1 is again you have business purposes, but the answer to the n. 2 is the hang up of your acquaintances, maybe it's time to move to another social to find new customers or to open a business page in the same social. To simply hang up is enough to rarely post.
 
I am law addicted to social media and i go there almost every minutes I am free , so i post any time I come online , but I only post decent pictures and educative words.
 
It all depends on your own capacity as you can make as many posts as you wants as you can manage quality content for your social media platform. Sometime people make more posts but looks spam.

If you want to get more interaction and reaction on your post or pictures on social media , Facebook and instagram contains a lot of followers and members , and I onlypost meaningful information and pictures once a week.
 
Except for a business account where one needs to post the product updates regularly, I don't see a tangible reason why people should be posting more often on social media without any tangible reason. Posting on social media platform shouldn't be as you're discussing with your friends.
 
It's not about posting all the time but the issue here is that you must post something that people will be interested of, so in this case I think you should just take your time and allow the posting to comes naturally without considering the number of time to post it.

It depends on the mood that I am during the weekday I might what to engage into many conversations on social media so I will be posting on every social media everyday and if it is the other mood I may not tho.
 
Keep on posting as much as you can. You need to be interacting with your followers all the time. Give them something to talk about. don't Make your followers feel bored. Post as much as you can and believe me. You will build a good audience

That depends on what you are actually using your handler for. It may be for business purposes or just for fun.so it's actually up to the two options.

Have been of social media for close to a year now. And I must say it's a very wonderful experience. I don't know how long it will be but I am sure enjoying it.
 
I believe as often as you feel comfortable with but not so much that you lose your followers due to too many notifications. I believe there's a balance in between. And also depends on your audience are there people that are cool with communications or will they feel bothered by too much post?
 
If your account is still very new. The best thing you need to be doing is that you need to be posting a good content, not just content for posting sake. Post content that will be highly engaging to your users or members
 
This I think is a game of choice, depending on how idle you are. also if someone is gaining profits from something, I don't see anything bad in staying as log as you can there.

If it's possible for people to make money from posting on Facebook, I believe that it's something everyone would be very open to doing because they do it everyday.

I believe that interaction on social media depends on the content of whatever you put out there. Sure, there are people that generate traffic on their social media pages by posting something every two hours, however I have seen that those who have good content can keep thier audience engaged with even posting content once in two days.
 
I recently replies to a post with almost same question. And u said that it is not necessary we post on social media.
but in you case you have good question. for better engagement with your visitors I would advise that you post like once in two hours or three and always answer to replies
 
Posting incessantly makes you loose followers especially if most of the things you post are irrelevant. Followers of course are of different types and it depends on the type of followers you have. Posting from time to time makes your posts more valued especially I they contain great content. If your posts are relevant you'll get more viewers on your site.
 
Well I know there is no formular or blueprint for when or when not to post on social media, for me though its more about my mood more than anything so for different people it's different things
 
This depend on a person how often them really post on social media, but for me I don't really post every time on social media I only post ones per day.
 
Doesn't really matters how much you post in a day, what matters most is what you post.
Try posting things that will attract viewers to your page.
 
well I can say it depends on on the kind of person you are and what you do,if you are a business man it is expected of you to post almost on a daily basis just to be marketing your own products .

One thing is certain is that it depend on what you are doing online,if you are a blogger or you provide content,your write ups should always be spot on and have a good timing.
 
well I think that's personal and depends on you as a person. Personally I don't really post but there are people who post a lot daily. Just personal preference.
 
It took me a time before posting on social media, and the mostly tones time I post my business to trends and get viewed and shared by the followers. Sometimes I don't like sharing the business without making enquiries about.
 
There is no limit to the number of post one is allowed to make on their social media accounts. If your social media accounts are business accounts, then you should be making post on a regular basis on it to keep it alive and active for your customers
 
Get people input on some situation is necessary is some situation because it help you make some decisions which will you.
I may post hourly depending on my situation
 
Posting is a personal decision.
For me, I post as many times as I want because I have to let my customers stay updated with what is available
 
Getting more traffic via the social media is one of the best methods to reach a lot of people. When I get my site, I know Facebook will be the perfect place to get more traffic because of the content that I will be posting.
 
Well I think it depends on the individual,they are some people that actually post evey day or every hour,so it also depends on what the individual wants but I for one believes that it should be once a while and not everyday
 
Well, social media, over the years, had been a posting ground for so many people weather for fund and for business depending on how individuals handled the social media platforms. If it's for business transactions, it should be done as long as it should be done.
Post automatically merged:

Well, posting on social media, depends on what you post for, that's the purpose of your posting. some may post on social media in form of business advertisement, that's to promote the interest of their business online while some posted for fund and it shouldn't be most often.

This is solely on the type of account you're running,,if you're into sport,football to be specific you'll agree with me that you'll be posting content and so on
 
When it comes to social media, what matter is what you are going to post. It is not how often because it depends on your purpose and how it affects the people reading your posts. Be responsible for what you are posting.
 
When it's comes to posting on social media it's depends on the individual and what the person use he or her account for if it's for business you can post three times a day or twice a day for other activities once a day is ok
 
Estimate how many times it will take you to be satisfied. It may be only once a week, or it may maintain status throughout the day. It really depends on how much you rely on social media to get approval from others, extra income.
 
People use social media everyday and as such it is very important that you should try to connect with them by posting at least one post everyday and I will even advise that you should make it two or three.
 
If you are cmunicating with you friendsyou can do that as much as you want. But nowadays I spend less time on social media, I try to focus on the normal world. I used to be so addicted to social media that I cant spend an hour without looking at it. I still use it but I try to normalize by not using it to much.
