They look like waffles and work like magic but if you leave them plain without any butter or syrup, they're probably going to be a little dry...
We're talking about here, sorry if I had you dreaming of Sunday brunch.
Think about it though, your waffles would be dry and just plain old boring if you didn't add some goods to the top right? Maybe a little fruit, syrup, or lots of butter?!
Now think about this in the form of hashtags. If you don't spice them up and add them to your posts in a strategic way, your posts will be missing the goods and it'll be dry and boring.
Today I'm going to give you the goods - hashtag style!
Ya ready?!
🧇 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓽𝓸 𝓾𝓼𝓮 (part 1) - Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post. USE THEM ALL! Why take the road less traveled when you have the opportunity to take the busier road and get seen by more people? When you use all 30 hashtags, your chance to get seen by more people is likely!
🧇 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓽𝓸 𝓾𝓼𝓮 (part 2) - Do your research. Take the time to dig deep into your niche and where your ideal customers are hanging out. You don't want to be using ones that have nothing to do with your niche and target market.
🧇 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓹𝓾𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓶 - This is a big toss up for some people but in reality, it doesn't matter one bit where you put your hashtags. I'm talking about whether you're putting them in your first comment or right in the caption. Just use your personal preference!
🧇 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓽𝓸 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓰𝓮𝓶𝓼 - Make sure you're using size appropriate hashtags. For instance, if you have a smaller account, you don't want to be using hashtags that have 2 million posts. You'll never get seen. Rather, use hashtags that have around 5k-250k.
🧇 𝓯𝓾𝓷 𝓯𝓪𝓬𝓽 - Did you know that the algorithm uses photo recognition? So be sure to use hashtags that are relevant to that particular post! You don't want to post about your manicure and use a hashtag pertaining to cheeseburgers. (Unless your mani has some patties on them, of course. 🙃)
Tell me one thing you love about hashtags below and let's chat it up!
..and if anyone is local and wants to grab some waffles one morning, lmk 💁🏻♀️
