7οΈβ£ ways use hashtags effectively: β£β£β£β£β£β£
β£β£β£β£β£β£
βοΈ Stick with hashtags in the range of 2k-800k uses.β£β£β£ Anything more than that is oversaturated, meaning your post will get lost in the shuffle.β£
β£β£β£
βοΈ Make sure the hashtags you use match the theme of your post and photo.β£β£β£β£β£
β£β£β£β£
βοΈ Never use more than 30 hashtags in a post, 10 in a story. Believe it or not, there is a limit.β£β£β£β£
β£β£β£
βοΈ While Instagram hashtags are not character-count-limited, itβs best practice to keep them brief. Short hashtags are more likely to be searched for and shared.β£β£β£β£β£β£
β£β£β£
βοΈ Once you have your hashtag lists, save them in your notes app, google drive, or platforms like @planoly or @previewapp that have built-in hashtag capability. β£β£β£β£β£β£
