How many posts do you make per day (Monetized IG Accounts)

[LawrenceRad]

I post three images/videos per day. I post my media between 12:00pm - 7:00 (maybe earlier on weekends).

The reason for my question is: When I post media, I get an accelerated amount of likes and followers. Now I'm feeling greedy and I want to know what that sweet spot is, as far a posts per day goes. I don't want to annoy my followers and I don't want them to unfollow me.

I've seen large (1Mil+ followers) monetized accounts that post 8 pictures/videos daily. Initially that seems excessive, but maybe not? What do you think? Obviously 6+ posts will help you make more money.

I would love to answer my own question by using statigr.am / IconoSquare, but it's now a paid service. I'll save that for later when my account starts making money.

Should I stay with 3, or go higher, based on your knowledge and experience.

How many times do you post per day?

I do 5 posts per day, with between 3-4 hours between posting. I find this is the 'sweet spot'

Great advice. I'll experiment with that today! Thanks

I did it 4-5 times a day too, in the beginning. Have been posting twice a day for a couple of weeks now, I see less gains of followers per day. But my posts get more likes + comments. So if you want to gain more followers you should post 4-5 times, 4 hours between each post. If you want to get more likes + comments on your pics, post at 9AM + 9PM. I own a 17.4k account, some of the pics had 5-7k likes after 2 days. Others get 700-2300 likes per pic. Good luck OP =)

I post once per day but it's a celebrity page.

I've seen a bigger page post 12-15 times per day, about 4 sponsored posts, and a few advertising his own products. He's got 2m followers though. Once you get more followers, you can get away with posting more imo.
