Utilising hashtags, is there a really good 'method'?

[Glen Wheeler]

Hello!

We are really trying to grow our socials, especially Instagram. When it comes to hashtags we like to have a variety of sizes (in terms of posts per hashtag) and include some of our own. However, writing them all out is very time consuming and Im aware that its good to keep them in one place. Its also better to switch them up so the same ones are not used each post. After being aware of all of this, is there any hashtag tools that are good? Ive heard a few can give good hashtag suggestions and then is there tools to keep them all in a good place? We are just curious if anyone has their own method that works or if tools are worth it.

Thanks!

I tend to keep lists of hashtags saved somewhere, then I can just copy and paste into an Instagram post as appropriate.

At the moment I haven't got to the point where I'm organised enough to have different lists for different categories or 'sizes' but that is something that I intend to do

How is growing your social media and in particular Instagram helping you sell more products/services?

In terms of your brand it's absolutely not about growing your followers, it's about quality rather than quantity; having engaged followers who you know are your key target audience or influence your key target audience.

You need to develop an integrated content plan and collateral for your social media channels and only use hashtags where they are relevant to the campaigns you are running; either those already used in social media spaces linked to your area of activity or ones you develop linked to your brand.

Social media software such as Sprout or Hootsuite are helpful in managing your channels.

A simple and effective solution!

I use LinkedIn to start my hashtags, mainly because it suggests tags as you start typing. I'm guessing this is based on other tags and the content people are looking for.
