Better by the Gram: Separate Hashtags From Your Main Work
Remember how I said to use your notepad on your phone to wrote your post? This is part of that. Put your hashtags at the bottom of your post. No one needs to directly see them because Instagram gets the keywords in front of the right audience for you.Â
Also, don’t include the hashtag on the wording on a post on Instagram. With 3,000 characters of space per post, you are not hurting for room as you are on Twitter so don’t act like it. The argument can be made that Millennials are used to reading hashtags in sentences and that’s great, champ, but not everyone reading the hashtags is the targeted age group and there is nothing edgy about not getting a recommendation for product you are selling because a Baby Boomer couldn’t read a bunch of lower case letters all shoved together. As a greater curtsy, I tend to post my hashtags with the first letter of each word capitalized just to make it easier to read because if they stop reading, they never see your call to action and all you showed them was a pretty picture they will disregard as soon as they see the next pretty picture.
