Best time to post on TikTok on Monday
The best time to post on TikTok on Monday is 6 AM ET, with secondary windows at 10 AM and 10 PM.
Monday feeds are restless. People ease back into the week by reaching for their phones early, which is why a 6 AM post lands before the inbox takes over. Save your strongest hook for that early window, then use the 10 AM and late 10 PM slots to catch the mid-morning lull and the end-of-day wind-down.
