Why do I need those hashtags on every single post? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me tell you....you will reach way more people and gain so much more traffic if you are using them properly. Here are the top 5 ways you can optimize your hashtags on Instagram:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Use hashtags that are designated to reach your ideal target audience 🎯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Use a variety of hashtags relative to their size: ex. use 5 larger hashtags, 10-15 medium hashtags, and 5-10 small hashtags⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Do your research! Look up hashtags on Instagram in the search menu by typing the # you are searching and this will provide you the size of the hashtag and you'll be able to tell if it's a trending one⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Use hashtags in your caption, not the first comment --- ok this has been up for debate for a while and I've tested both. I've seen more reach with the hashtags in the caption than the first comment. If you don't like your post looking too crowded or messy then separate your actual content in the post and the hashtags with a symbol or even a period (.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Put hashtags in your Instagram stories! Did you know that when people search for the hashtag that there is a story section on top? This means your story can be seen anytime someone is looking through that hashtag's stories, super cool huh? I've been using this a while and it makes a HUGE difference. So go ahead, slip a few hashtags in your Instagram story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you do not have the time to complete all of these steps and are still lost, send me a DM (direct message) and let's talk about how I can help you optimize your Instagram (and other accounts) with hashtags!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉Let me know in the comments, do you use hashtags and what's your favorite one? ⠀
