If you saw my post from last Tip Thursday, you would know we talked all about HASHTAGS! The main topic of conversation was common mistakes that influencers make with hashtags. Now that we know how to use hashtags correctly, I’d like to dive into some ways to boost your hashtag game:

Consider what you would search to discover your content

I’ll often use the tags #floridablogger or #floridaliving as I’ve been told brands have discovered my content that way and I like to market myself as a Florida-based lifestyle influencer. Are you a food blogger that loves wine? Try #foodandwinepairings.  Maybe you’re all about a good amazon find? Try #founditonamazon.

Use location based tags: get specific!

Use your city, county, state, or even the coast you are on! For example, some I’ll often tag are #stpeteblogger #tampabayinfluencer #visitstpeteclearwater #visitflorida #visitfloridabeaches #centralfloridablogger #eastcoastblogger.

Use RELEVANT hashtags

Describe your content! for this picture, I might opt for tag #goldenhourlight #goldenhourphotography #summeroutfit ☀️

Pick one and find related tags

On a related note, find a hashtag you like and plan to use. Then, search it in Instagram and check out the related tags that pop up. I’ll do this and go in circles basically until I find some tags that work and apply to me.
