INSTAGRAM HASHTAGS Top Tips
Sometimes, our ideal target followers on Instagram are the ones who will help our success in our business. But how can we find them? As I researched and learned from experts, I found out that hashtags will definitely reach out to those people we want to be part of our niche who will be heavily involved in our business, helping us grow as an entrepreneur.
Here are some tips I found that might be able to help you:
- Placement - your hashtags should go in the first comment after you post a picture or video. Once you click on the upload button on Instagram, go to the first comment and paste or type out your list of hashtags.
Why?
* It's aesthetically pleasing because we want to see someone's caption without those spammy hashtags below it.
* It works just the same whether it's on caption or comments.
- How many hashtags to use - the maximum Instagram allows us to use is 30 hashtags on every post. But I highly recommend using 28 because we are almost using the maximum allowed, because if we use 30, we'll be kinda on Instagram’s radar, we have the potential of getting shadowbanned or just getting flagged for spamming people with too many hashtags.
- Specificity - you need to find hashtags that should be specific, targeted, very niched down to grow your brand, not the huge giant hashtags. It should be those that your ideal audiences are looking at that they're actually engaging in because we want to rank as a top post within these hashtags and not just appearing on recent posts in that category.
- Different hashtag lists for different kinds of posts - chances are, your post varies and has different styles. I suggest having a hashtag list for each of those kinds of posts.
Hashtags are one of the keys to let our business grow, the more successful it is, the more people we’ll be able to reach that who can be our potential followers and eventually our clients. Use them wisely and you’ll see the difference in no time! Well, hope you find these tips helpful and that you enjoyed reading them.
