#### **The Details**

### **How often to post on Instagram**

Post to your Instagram feed 2-3 times per week, and no more than 1x per day. Stories can be posted more frequently.

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri has suggested posting 2 feed posts per week and 2 Stories per day is ideal for building a following on the app.

### **How often to post on Facebook**

Post 1 time per day, and no more than 2 times per day.

The average [Facebook Page shares 1.55 posts per day](https://blog.hootsuite.com/facebook-marketing-tips/?ref=hypebot.com), so 1 to 2 posts per day is just right.

Some studies have found *a drop in* engagement if you’re posting more than that… “so don’t get too post-happy. Aim for quality over quantity.”

“Daily posting will grow followers 4x faster than posting less than once a week. Makes sense: more visibility.”

### **How often to post on Twitter**

Post 1-2 times per day, and no more than 3-5 times per day. (*Tell us Hypebot readers, do we post too often?)*

“Of course, there are *plenty* of power users out there… accounts posting 50 or 100 times a day.”
