That’s what we’re here for! Here are some Wednesday social media post ideas to help you stay consistent and get posting today!

Is it important to post on social media on Wednesday?

Yup! Like we mentioned above, a lot of people are scrolling on their phones on Wednesdays and it’s actually one of the most popular (and best!) days to post content. Social media users are more likely to interact with social content during the work week in the middle of the day—which makes sense as it’s usually when you’re on a lunch break at work or school (AKA: the perfect scrolling time!).

Be sure to double-check your analytics and see when your audience is most online during this time. Posting at the time your audience is online is key to getting the engagement you want on your content. You can check your analytics directly inside most social media platforms, however, if you use a third-party app (like Flick!), you’ll find that we track your analytics too on a deeper level.

What time on Wednesday is the best time to post on social media?

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times—always check your analytics because everyone has a different audience and no two audiences are alike! However, if you’re looking for the best time on average to post on Wednesday, this will help you out.

According to Sprout Social, these are the best times to post on all platforms on Wednesday:

Best times to post on Facebook on Wednesday: 8am to 1pm
Best times to post on Instagram on Wednesday: 10am to 1pm
Best times to post on LinkedIn on Wednesday: 10am to noon
Best times to post on Pinterest on Wednesday: 1pm to 3pm
Best times to post on TikTok on Wednesday: 2pm to 5pm
Best times to post on Twitter on Wednesday: 9am to 1pm

Flick’s tip: Be sure to experiment with the timing when you post! You never know what time is going to work best for you and your audience until you give it a try. Maybe it’s earlier than the above. Maybe it’s later than the above. Social media is all about trying and experimenting. Don’t be nervous if it doesn’t work out the first time because the second time could be the thing that hits!

What should you post on social media on Wednesdays?

Now that you know why it’s important to post on Wednesdays and what the best time to post is—what should you actually post? That’s the real question. Scroll below to see some of our favorite ideas to post and also to discover a tool that will help you come up with even more Wednesday social media post ideas.

Wednesday Wisdom

As the title suggests, share some wisdom with your followers! This could be in the form of a motivational quote, insight into your niche or industry, tips on personal growth, affirmations, or some sage advice someone has given you before that you take with you daily. Share the wisdom and explain how you apply it to your life each day. Is it something you’ve always followed? Or is this something new?

To get even better engagement from your audience, you can ask them if they agree with the wisdom, share the advice with their friends, or if they have some of their own they want to share!

Hump Day Humor

Show off your funny side on a hump day (who doesn’t love a bit of alliteration?). One of the best ways to get engagement on your post is by posting something funny or a meme that is related to your niche. You can share a joke, a meme, or just something that is very relatable to your account that people can giggle at (i.e. “Me when I realize that it’s only Wednesday” with a photo of you laying your head on your desk).

You can even get your audience to engage more by doing a call-to-action asking them to comment if the content is relatable.

Wednesday Workouts

Inspiration for working out comes in a variety of ways and one of those ways is social media. Why not share some content that will help inspire someone to get motivated and inspired to move their own body?

Share your favorite routine lately, or that hot girl walks you took this morning! If you have any tips on how you stay motivated to do your exercise, share them here. You can even ask your followers to share their own tips and tricks in the comments so you get even more engagement on your post.
