Why timing matters for personal finance 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 (7-10 AM) captures pre-market and pre-work energy. Midweek late morning (~11 AM) works for evergreen explainers. Late evening activity is notable as users check global markets and seek financial tips after hours.
