Why timing matters for parenting on LinkedIn
LinkedIn's algorithm prioritizes dwell time and meaningful comments. Posting during business hours maximizes the chance of professionals seeing and engaging with your content during their workday browsing.
Early morning (6-7 AM before kids wake), nap-time windows (1-3 PM), and late evening after bedtime (8:30-10:30 PM) are the three peaks. This audience is active at 'weird' hours compared to other niches.
