How to use these times
Plan in your audience's time zone
The study times already apply in your audience's local time. If most of your followers live in another country, convert the slot to their time zone, not yours.
Check TikTok Analytics
TikTok Analytics shows when your own followers are online. Compare it with the study before you copy a slot from a general chart.
Test two slots for two to four weeks
Post at the top slot and at one other slot for two to four weeks, then keep the one that gets more views in the first hours.
