If you're new to using Instagram and don't have access to Instagram Insights, there are still ways to determine the best time to post. Here are a few alternative approaches:
1. Research industry trends: Look for studies or articles that analyze general trends in Instagram usage for your industry. While these may not be tailored to your specific audience, they can provide a starting point for your posting schedule.
2. Observe competitor activity: Take a look at when your competitors or similar accounts in your industry are posting on Instagram. While you don't want to mimic their exact strategy, this can give you an idea of popular posting times within your niche.
3. Consider general user behavior: Think about typical user behavior patterns when it comes to social media. Many people check their phones first thing in the morning, during lunch breaks, and in the evenings after work or school. Posting during these timeframes may increase the likelihood of your content being seen.
4. Experiment and track engagement: Start by posting at different times of the day and track the engagement (likes, comments, shares, etc.) your posts receive. Over time, you'll notice patterns of when your audience tends to be most active. Use this data to refine your posting schedule.
5. Engage with your audience: Interact with your followers through comments, direct messages, and Instagram Stories. Building a connection with your audience will give you insights into their habits and preferences. You can also ask them directly about their preferred time to engage with Instagram content.
Remember, finding the best time to post on Instagram is an iterative process. It may take some time and experimentation to discover the optimal posting schedule for your specific audience. Regularly reviewing your analytics and adapting your strategy based on the results will help you refine your approach over time.
