Hey hey! How are you today? We are currently in the midst of harvest here on the prairies, bringing in our Wheat amongst the crappy weather we've been having. FROST...already!? But fall and harvest is my all time favourite time of year, I love the sunny brisk weather, the food, the colours AND the fashion :).
But before I have to get in the combine, how about we grow your Instagram? Sound good?!
Instagram hashtags have the ability to get your brand discovered and Instagram uses hashtags to categorize content. So a great analogy is to think of how you would organize paperwork in an office.
You have your papers which go inside folders, and the folders go inside a filing cabinet. In this scenario, the papers are Instagram posts, the folders are hashtags and the filing cabinet is the Instagram platform. So make sure your hashtags are relevant to your post and....what your client is looking for!
Once you find popular hashtags that people engage with, it might be tempting to continue using those same hashtags in every post. However, eventually you’ll need to add some more variation.
Okay so I have a few things you need to remember to do before I give you all the goods.
- Use 30 Hashtags each post (it doesn't matter if they are in the caption itself or the comments below)
- Write interesting, engaging and value-added posts
- Use a Call to Action in your post
- ENGAGE with others!!!
Now that we are clear, I have divided these hashtags up into categories for you to copy, paste and put into your post! They might not all work for you, but you have to test them out to see.

TOOLS
One of the most complete hashtag tools you will find, Hashtagify.me has reams of data you can use to analyze hashtags. The most helpful could very well be the first data you’re shown: related hashtags and their popularity. When you type in a hashtag, the service will show you other hashtags to consider and will display visually how popular each hashtag is and how closely it correlates to the original.
2. RiteTag
RiteTag helps ensure that the tags you use are well-chosen by showing you how good, great, or overused a particular hashtag is. The visual organization of hashtags into colored bars works great for quick analysis at-a-glance.
3. Tagboard
With Tagboard, you can see how your hashtag is used across multiple networks. The results pages on Tagboard show hashtagged posts from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Vine, and App.net
4. Trendsmap
Local businesses might find value in Trendsmap, which shows you relevant hashtags that are being used in your geographic area.
If your industry/niche isn't on this list comment below so I can add related hashtags for you!
