Nathan Barry breaks down how top creators post Instagram Stories in bundles of three, then wait 24 to 36 hours before posting again. This spacing keeps viewers from skipping through long sequences and makes sure each Story actually gets watched instead of getting buried in a stream.
They don't post just as things happen. They mostly post sets of 3 stories. Basically their reasoning was if you're gonna pop up in someone's stories list, you want them to interact with each of the stories. And if you get to, you know, 5 or 10 or, and I do this too, you see someone who posts 17 stories in a row and you're like, skip. Yeah. Cause you're like, there might be good stuff in there. So they will post 3 stories and then nothing for 24 hours and then 3 stories again. Mm-hmm. It's like this packaged thing that's showing up every 24 to 36 hours rather than a constant drip of here's What's going on in my life?
