Unlock 24-hr Reach on X

Everyone wants the magic “best time to post.”

But honestly… it’s useless.

You’d be silo-ing yourself into a time when ‘your’ people are active… but what about the rest of the platform?

X never sleeps!

If you think in terms of a 24hr cycle, you essentially unlock the entire platform!

Your analytics already show you exactly when they’re awake, scrolling, bored, or ready to tap something.

→ Step 1: Post when they’re most active.

Obvious. Easy win. Minimum resistance.

But here’s the part most creators miss…

The weird pockets of the day where your analytics show a dip:

That’s the exact window the algo is waiting.

Because when you post during a time your audience isn’t online, you’re basically telling the algo:

⤷ “Find new people to show this to.”

That’s how you get pushed into new circles, new clusters and new eyes.

This is how you earn reach across the full 24 hours (not just your peak hours).

This is exactly how I post.

If you check my analytics, my engagement is spread almost evenly across the ENTIRE 24 hours.

On purpose.

Consistency creates a pattern.

Patterns train the algo.

And a trained algo becomes your partner in crime that favors YOU.

________

1. Analyze Your Peaks

▪ Open your audience analytics
▪ Find the 2–4 hottest time blocks
▪ Post 1–2 high-value pieces in those windows

2. Claim Your “Dead Hours”

▪ Pick 1–2 low-activity slots
▪ Post short, sharp content
▪ Keep it consistent for 14 days

3. Let the Algo Reroute You

▪ When your audience isn’t around, the algo scans for similar clusters
▪ This expands your reach beyond your bubble
▪ Do this long enough, and you build a 24/7 presence… even while you sleep.

4. Review & Adjust Weekly

▪ Are your lows rising?
▪ Are those dark little squares on analytics lighting up?

Good.

That’s distribution working in the background.
