Shoutout to the guy who told me to stop posting at 9am

Someone in a Facebook group for small creators told me back in March that my 9am posts were getting buried by bigger accounts. He said to try posting at 10pm instead (you know, when people are actually scrolling before bed). I brushed it off for like 2 weeks because it sounded backwards, but my morning posts were barely hitting 50 likes. Switched to 10pm on a Tuesday and that first post got 230 likes in 3 hours. Has anyone else had a random stranger's advice completely change your numbers like that?

Totally. Some random guy in a gaming forum told me to stop posting at noon and try midnight instead. First night I did it, my clip hit 800 views out of nowhere.

Wait, is that a real thing? I've been posting at like 9pm every night and getting maybe 50 views on a good day. That's wild that changing the time made that big of a difference for you. I might have to experiment with different times myself, maybe even wake up super early one day and see what happens. It's funny how something so simple can totally change your luck. I always figured it was just about the content, but timing sounds way more important than I thought.
