Instagram Hashtags for Bloggers That Will Triple Likes
As I was working on this post, all I could say to myself, over and over again was, "FASCINATING!" I'm going to get right into it because I really think you'll agree. This post is all about Instagram Hashtags for Bloggers to use, that will skyrocket likes.
There are hashtags that I have been using lately to boost my instagram posts, and I had no idea the origin of the hashtag. I wanted to compile a list of the best hashtags for bloggers to use to increase their likes, find the person/account who created the hashtag, and then test the hashtags for effectiveness. Throughout the duration of this experiment, if you could refer to me as Bill Nye that would be great, thanks. Childhood goals ✓
Nastasia, the creator of Dame Traveler was kind enough to say what she looks for when curating photos for the #dametraveler gallery!
"Uniqueness. Anyone can take a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower but what angle is it taken from? How is it framed? Is it natural? Is the lighting creating a magical effect? I also look for high resolution/crisp, non-filtered photos that take you straight to dream world. These are things to consider when taking a Dame Traveler shot!
The definition of the word ‘Dame’ in the dictionary is:
“The title of a woman who has been awarded of high ranking or of an empire.”
I chose #DameTraveler because I wanted to exemplify strength, fearlessness and courage. When a female travels solo, she throws caution to the wind and she trusts the universe to protect her while she uses her instincts to make strong decisions and that to me is very brave."
Allie, the co-founder of the #petitejoys hashtag was kind enough to say what she looks for when curating photos for the Instagram gallery!
"#petitejoys started as a collaboration project with my longtime friend Erika (@rougeandwhimsy). We wanted a way to document the little moments of happiness even in the midst of hard things. Both acknowledging that life can be tough, while choosing to find the good. We love seeing how the project has grown and the community of joy-finders it has built. "
Joy, the founder of the #morningslikethese hashtag was kind enough to say what she looks for when curating photos for the Instagram gallery!
"The #morningslikethese hashtag was created at a time when I needed it most. It's a daily 'call to action' for me to simply remember to wake and practice gratitude daily. Find a moment each morning to be present and thankful. I am instantly drawn to people's tagged mornings that include thoughtful content and relevant imagery. No two mornings are the same and I embrace our community's diversity."
1. Take Your City + Add the word Blogger = #dallasblogger
2. If you have a product in your picture, find out the hashtag that company uses
i.e. If you have a ban.do planner in your image, tag #bandofun to be featured
I created an Instagram account a few days ago for my blog design site, @socialandchic_. I had 0 followers. I repeat, I HAD ZERO FOLLOWERS. I didn't tell anyone to go like my photo, and I didn't link to my photo from my personal Instagram account. I wanted to post a picture and see what kind of likes I could get from using these hashtags.
I chose 30 hashtags from the list above, the ones I thought most related to my picture. Remember the Hashtag Limit is 30 Tags. I posted my picture and had my hashtags copied and ready to paste. I prefer to post the giant list of hashtags in a comment rather than in my caption. I think most people would agree with that.
I sat back to watch, thinking I'd get a handful of likes. I'd have been satisfied if I had gotten 12.
A photo posted by Social + Chic Design Studio (@socialandchic_) on
THAT SAYS 150 LIKES.
I GOT 150 LIKES WITH NO FOLLOWERS, SOLELY USING HASHTAGS.
I'm going to say it again... "Fascinating!!!!"
Below are are the hashtags I used in that above image.
I'd recommend making a note in your phone filled with specific hashtag sets, based on the type of photo your posting, so you can easily copy and paste.
Thanks for sharing Sarah! This is so awesome. I've been going through a bit of a slump with my instagram lately and this collection of hashtags makes me want to rekindle the flame!
Brilliant! I love your experiment too-- it definitely shows the power of hashtags. Also, I've been looking for appropriate hashtags to use, so thanks for this amazing list!
Thanks for sharing Sarah! How did you find these hashtags? My blog is geared more toward fitness, so was curious how I could find some that fit more into what I post. Thanks!!
Great post! I'm saving some of these hashtag's so use and found some new ones!! I use: #CaughtKissing to share snap shots for date night, dating stories and anything with dating! I do a weekly Monday blog series with this too! :)
Such an awesome list!! I love this! I have such a horrible time figuring out what to tag my photos with. I'm now going through my Instagram and adding new tags haha Thanks for sharing!
Seriously, hats off to you for doing all of that work for this post! I've always felt like stumbling across certain hashtags was so happenstance, so it's really nice to have a few more to add to the IG arsenal! Thank you!!
This post is AMAZING! As a new blogger I wasn't familiar with using hashtags, but now I want to post something immediately using this article! Thank you for taking the time to organize the hashtag sets, you have no idea how helpful this article will be in the future!
This is INCREDIBLE -- I'm definitely going to start using these! I've been wondering though, do you notice a difference between using hashtags in the original post caption vs. leaving them in a comment?
Thank you for putting this together! Saving it and will be trying it this week to see if it improves my likes from the previous week!! www.amemoryofus.com
This comment's coming a little late, but I've been testing this out for the last few days. Totally works! My likes have tripled. Can't believe it! :) Thanks!
You literally made my day by posting this!! <3 Thank you so so much for sharing this with your readers rather than keeping this information solely to yourself - that really says something about what great character you have!!! :) I found your blog today, but you can be sure that I'm a new follower! <3

This is the best Instagram post I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing your hard work on your blog, for others to benefit from!! I'm going to implement this asap! And sharing all around with blogger friends! <3
Thank you for your hard work! Few weeks ago I started using some of the hashtags you have mentioned and I can say this is TRUE. I got about 50 new followers and a huge bunch of likes. Can't wait to start using others!
Wow! This is amazing! One of the best and most informative posts I've ever come across! What a lot of work and its so beautifully presented! THANK YOU!! xx
thanks for sharing this! I get so use to using the basic ones that sometimes I forget that there are special ones created to help build community + targeted growth. totally sharing this on my social media!
I've never had much luck with my IG account and I am willing to step up my game a little. Thank you for taking the time to research this and SHARE it with the rest of us! I can't wait to see how it works out!

I must admit I have popped in a read a good number of your blogs but I have no idea how to post a response over there, so I'll tell you now how good you are at describing the stuff your at - I must admit I find it insightful to read your blogging.

Wow, thank you. These really work. I got thirty three likes on a post (not as much as you, but I have like three followers so I think I'll live.) Thanks, again! exodustreasures.blogspot.com
I took your advice and searched the hashtag of #seattleblogger. I was surprise to see there was so many bloggers from my city. I will be using that hashtag to help grow my blog. Thank you!
Awesome article! For me, as i use hashtags quite actively, it's a precious piece of advice. I need different hashtag ideas to find new users also using follow4follow. Fast-unfollow.com then helps me to get rid of those who are not engaged into communication. I'm not talking about tricking people into following, it's just a way to grow for an ordinary account that has no perfectly-crafted content.
This is a truly amazing post. Amazing research, and amazing efforts analyzing this. Kudos to you lady! I'm sharing with all of my Facebook blogging groups! xx
It's 2015 mate, why would anyone buy followers if they get purged all the time? If you wanna try a cheating method, at least make sure to use a proper tool that won't just burn your money or even get your acc banned. E.g. zengram.net can get you hundreds followers in weeks, real ones i mean as it interacts with users basing on hashtags and location you set up. As it is known to me it's the best safe result you can expect.
Ok you lovely lady! This is pure genius. FOR. REAL. I tried a ton of these tags on an instagram post and had 69 likes and 7 comments and I'm thrilled! This is a fantastic resource. Thank you so much for writing this post. Seriously so appreciated!
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I was never paying that much attention on hashtags (shame on me!) but will try this now! Wow, sounds so amazing! xx from Berlin
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time! We needed that jump to the next level and I bet these hashtags will do the trick. It's all about working smart! THANK YOU for not only creating this post but sharing it with everyone! You are amazing!!!! Hope you enjoyed your nap!!!
What an awesome post!!! So well collected and thought-out, and THANK YOU for shouting out #foundforaged against such distinguished company! Sheesh, I'm honored. I wanted to also let you know that I could not have created the tag without my co-creators @houseofhipstersblog and @doitwellco! These babes rock and also repost from the tag. :) Thanks again so much! xo! -Laura Irion
