First, make sure that it&#8217;s relevant to your content and audience. Second, make sure that it&#8217;s easily remembered. Third, be creative! There are endless hashtag ideas out there, and you&#8217;re bound to come up with a few that are perfect for you. Try out these tips and you&#8217;ll be well on your way to a successful campaign on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relevance\"><\/span>Relevance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to using hashtags on Instagram, the more relevant they are to your niche, the more likely it is that your content will be seen by your target audience. In the past, hashtags were designed to be &#8220;computer-speak,&#8221; but these days, many social media platforms can speak human language. The trend of using hashtags has become so widespread that it is becoming a &#8220;spam magnet&#8221; &#8211; meaning, people don&#8217;t need to actively search for the content they want to see.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the #bestoftheday hashtag has more than 500 million posts associated with it, so it is definitely relevant to the Instagram community. These posts typically showcase beautiful locations from around the world, award-winning photos, or even adorable animals. Users who post #instagood posts are clearly looking for content related to fashion and beauty. Another common hashtag is #photooftheday, which is used for posts of celebrities and beauty brands.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easy_to_remember\"><\/span>Easy to remember<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of whether you use Instagram daily or once a week, you&#8217;ve most likely seen the importance of easy to remember Instagram hashtags. Hashtags categorize your content so that it&#8217;s easily accessible to the right users. If you use social media regularly, you&#8217;ve probably already seen how hashtags work, but you might not know how to use them to their fullest potential. Listed below are some tips for easy to remember Instagram hashtags.<\/p>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to stay at the top of Instagram&#8217;s recent section is to add niche hashtags. These are less likely to be duplicated, and will be easier to remember. Keep in mind that the Recent section is sorted by original post date. So, adding hashtags to a post later won&#8217;t bump it up for recency. Also, repeating content may violate Instagram&#8217;s community guidelines and can result in penalties.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relevance_to_your_content\"><\/span>Relevance to your content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using hashtags to attract new followers can be beneficial, but make sure you use the right ones. The more relevant the hashtag, the more likely your post will be seen by people looking for your specific niche. For example, don&#8217;t use the hashtag #burgerislife for a post about pizza. This will just alert the Instagram algorithm that you&#8217;re spamming them, making you look desperate and untrustworthy.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, avoid using keywords that are too generic. When using hashtags, avoid brand-specific terms, and instead stick to related categories. Categories will increase your visibility by showing more people what you have to offer than non-brand-related hashtags. For example, you can include #running for the Boston Marathon to encourage more people to participate in the event. And you should use hashtags related to your content if you have a picture of a Boston Marathon runner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relevance_to_your_audience\"><\/span>Relevance to your audience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to creating relevant captions for your Instagram posts, you can use hashtags to promote your product or service. The most popular hashtags at any given time are often the most popular and focused on major news topics. By engaging with trending hashtags, you can tap into a larger audience and increase your visibility. Here are some ways to make hashtags relevant to your audience:<\/p>\n<p>Use specific, targeted hashtags that are relevant to your target audience. Using too many hashtags can annoy followers and can result in a cluttered feed. In addition to being ineffective, hashtags should be descriptive and precise. Remember that the Instagram algorithm follows hashtags to weed out spammers. Using too many hashtags can also detract from your post&#8217;s relevance and will not be seen by your target audience.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_qybD4odg7Q\" height=\"228\" width=\"408\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Choose the Best Instagram Hashtags When choosing your Instagram hashtags, there are two things you should consider.
