Today’s episode dives into strategies for using hashtags (on both Instagram and Pinterest) to grow your online following. Hashtags allow your posts to become searchable on social media, so it’s a powerful way to get new eyes on your content.
For Instagram, we recommend that you:
- Research the hashtags that influencers in your niche are using and exploe the hashtags that your quintessential clients are including in their posts as well
- Mix up your hashtag blocks so that you don’t get shadowbanned
For Pinterest, we recommend that you:
- Use 4-6 hashtags max in your Pin descriptions
- Don’t use hashtags in promoted (paid) Pins
- Don’t waste your time revisiting old Pins to incorporate hashtags
- Incorporate at least one long-tail keyword hashtag in ALL of your Pins moving forward (to create a curated feed if someone clicks the tag)
