Every day millions of videos are uploaded but only a few of them become viral. Have you ever thought that not only the content but also the right time to post a video is an important reason behind a video going viral?

If you also want to grow fast on YouTube and want your videos to reach millions of people, then you need to know when it is most beneficial to upload a video.

Importance of the right time

When you upload a video on YouTube, the first few hours are very critical. During this time, if more people watch, like, and comment on the video, then YouTube's algorithm starts promoting it. This is the first step to make the video viral.

What does the research say?

According to the reports of YouTube experts and data analysts from around the world, different times on weekdays (Monday to Friday) and weekends (Saturday, Sunday) give better results.

Monday to Friday

From 2 pm to 5 pm, people are free after office and school and browse YouTube.

Between 7 pm to 9 pm, this is the most popular time when maximum people are active on YouTube.

Saturday and Sunday

10 am to 1 pm – People wake up late on weekends and watch YouTube in their free time. 6 pm to 9 pm – Weekend entertainment peak time.

Take mobile users into consideration.

Today, more than 70% of YouTube views come from mobile. So when you post videos, it is important to keep in mind people's mobile accessibility and their free time. Office lunchtime (1 to 2 pm) and commute time (5 to 7 pm) are also considered good times.

Which time is right for you?

Every channel has a different audience. Therefore, it is important that you check your YouTube Analytics. In this, you will know on which day and at what time your audience is most active.
