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.
