A Simple Friday Posting Plan
1) Choose one afternoon window
Start with 2 PM–6 PM in your audience’s local time.
2) Repurpose your best-performing idea
Friday is a great day for content repurposing:
- Recut a top clip
- Reframe a previous tutorial
- Turn a comment into a response video
3) Track watch time and shares
Shares tend to spike when content matches weekend mood.
