A single platform requires **5-10 hours per week** for content creation, community management, and analytics. Managing 3+ platforms professionally is a full-time job. Video-heavy strategies (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) require significantly more production time. A 60-second TikTok can take 1-3 hours to script, film, edit, and optimize. Scale that across daily posting and you need dedicated video resources. Use our [best time to post tool](https://posteverywhere.ai/best-time-to-post) to maximize the impact of every piece of content.
