Best Instagram Hashtags for 2018!

Lately I have been thinking about how I could put my marketing degree and certificates into good use while doing my masters. Since I’m doing my masters in International Management, marketing seems to kind of drift away and since I’d love to be a social media marketing manager one day, I don’t want it to.

So I thought of a plan… I’m going to do a digital marketing based series on my blog. All about algorithms, posting times, hashtags, content etc. Pretty much everything you need to know if you’re new to this social media marketing thing or if you’d just like to know a little bit more from someone who has studied it for three years but is also a small blogger, trying to make it through the algorithms that have been thrown our way.

This week it is all about Instagram hashtags. The Instagram algorithm sucks and I’m not even going to hide it. Well, it doesn’t suck for Instagram and huge brands as it works in their favour. But what about us, smaller bloggers and content creators? To us, it’s just a constant struggle of trying to gain at least some sort of engagement for the hard work we have put into our posts. It is not right. To help you along, I have put together some blogger hashtag packages that will likely boost your engagement. Still, don’t forget about your prime posting times! If you have no clue what they are, I will write my next post all about them and what apps are best to use to find them out.

When I was looking through other hashtag recommendation posts for bloggers, they either included about 10 hashtags or most of them were based around the “like for follow” kind of thing. So, depending on the style of your posts, I have made some hashtag packages, all including 30 hashtags that actually relate to what your post is about! Feel free to mix them up – just don’t use over 30 hashtags per post as that’s the limit on Instagram! Don’t feel like you need to use all 30 at a time. You can pick and choose a couple that relate to your picture instead if you’re more comfortable with that!

P.S. Check the hashtags out yourself too and give other bloggers some likes as well in order to beat the Instagram algorithm all together!
