I think I've been using hashtags for at least three years. I used to think
hashtags were dumb and made no sense, but I was wrong.
I did a mini experiment and this is how it went...At 12:30 pm I put a
photo on Instagram with no hashtags, and by 3:45pm I only had five
likes. I added hashtags to the same post at 4:00pm and two hours later
I had 18 likes and three followers.
For anyone who doesn't understand hashtags, I'll break it down for you.
Let's pretend that you post a photo of vanilla ice cream with a plastic
red spoon in a wooden bowl covered in colorful sprinkles, and it's in
the summer. Here are some hashtag ideas:
#vanilla #icecream #colorful #red #sweet #cold #sprinkles #spoon
#dessert #wooden #bowl #creamy #summer #food #plastic #utensil
If you still don't want to use hashtags it's your choice, but they can
greatly improve your chances of a post being seen online.
