I am a HUGE advocate of hashtags!
Whether you’re using hashtags related to your niche or trending ones like those for each day of the week, hashtags play the role of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) in the world of social media!
Essential companion apps for IG, like Tailwind and Preview, are also excellent places to search for new and popular Instagram hashtags.
If it wasn’t for capitalizing on these little gems, I would have never achieved the kind of success I have on Instagram (in such a competitive field, why not use everything you can to make yourself discoverable to potential new followers and customers).
I’m personally of the thought that you should MAXIMIZE on your hashtags in Instagram Stories!
That’s right, use up to all 30 of the hashtags that you are allowed for maximum impressions. This will also help you to increase your profile views by reaching new potential followers.
But wait, don’t get squeamish! It’s not going to look tacky if you do it the right way!
Remember how we minimized our location tag to make it blend in with our story and become essentially invisible?
You can do the exact same thing with your hashtags and increase your Instagram stories views tenfold!
Keep a set (or four!) of 30 hashtags you love using (or as many as you are comfortable with) in your phone’s notes section and then copy and paste it into a text box in your new Instagram Story.
Once you’re happy with the tags you’ve chosen, again, pinch the corner of that “tags box” and minimize that bad boy as much as you can.
Find some white space, put your little white dot in there, and you’re tagged and ready to share!
I loved your post! I needed these tips really bad. My IG story views are terrible. I get like 1-3 views tops,lol. I had no clue what I was doing. I don’t really see many bloggers writing about IG stories. I really appreciate your post!
