Instagram Hashtags TOP SECRET Tips!
Instagram is the Hottest Mainstream Social Media Site on the Planet Right Now!
Are You on Instagram sharing the Wealthy Affiliate Platform, your Niche or anything else?
On Instagram, You are not only able to write about the picture and/or videos that you post, You are also able to insert up to 30 Hashtags!
Hashtags?
Do You know what Hashtags are?
They're not just for Twitter anymore!
Why 30 Hashtags, Do I really need 30?
Yes!
Instagram allows 30 and so You should absolutely utilize all 30 that you are allowed!
If someone said that you are allowed a salary of $100,000 a year would you say, "No thank you, I'll just take $10,000"?
Because you are allowed 30 Hashtags, you should absolutely utilize them all and it's actually very easy to find 30 Hashtags in any Niche.
At Instagram, in the search area just type #workfromhome for an example - The results will start to come in and it'll even show other results similar to the one that you typed.
The number that you see will be the amount of times that exact Hashtag has been used on Instagram.
#WorkFromHome - Over 5 Million
#WorkFromHomeMom - Over 400,000
#WorkFromHomeDad - Over 84,000
I suggest that you utilize 5 Hashtags with over 100,000 - 5 with under 10,000 and the remaining 20 with results between the 10,000 - 100,000 range when just starting out.
As you grow your instagram account you can then scale up to between 20,000 - 200,000 for the middle ground or somewhere thereabouts.
Something else that many Friends don't know & this is TOP SECRET!
You must promise to tell not one soul outside of Wealthy Affiliate what I am about to share with you, if you don't trust yourself with a TOP SECRET SECRET then stop reading now and go back to what you were doing before!
Are You still here?
Good, then I guess that it's safe to tell you the TOP SECRET SECRET!
When you are sharing a picture and/or video in Instagram, type your message in this format:
For example:
Have You ever thought about monetizing your website blog? Do You have a website and/or blog yet? Visit MyWebsite.com:) and the link is in my bio @MyInstagramPage
#WorkFromHome #workfromhomemom #workfromhomedad #earnmoneyonline etc...... until you have 30 #'s
Did You notice the 23 .'s all lined up straight down the left side?
That is part 1 of the TOP SECRET SECRET!
The reason that you do that is so that the Hashtags don't get in the way of your message up there, believe it or not the Hashtags can be a major distraction and make a huge difference on your viewer taking action or not. you get the 23 .'s lined up on the left side by hitting . then return then . then return 23 times. (Hit return after every .)
Now, for part 2 of the TOP SECRET SECRET!
Immediately after you share your post make sure to like it, not only like it with the account that you just posted it with but also like it with all of your Instagram Accounts!
What am I saying, All of your Instagram Accounts?
Yes, You are allowed to have up to 5 Instagram accounts per device (Cell phone. iPhone and/or iPad) (Laptops and Desktops don't work so well) (Soon I will learn why and if there is a way to get them to play well with Instagram)
I highly recommend to have at least 2 Instagram accounts and scale up to at least 5 when you are ready.
OK, so now you have liked your own post and also liked your post with all of the rest of your Instagram Accounts.
Now, here is part 3 of the TOP SECRET SECRET!
About 5 minutes (No need to be exact) go to your post and select "Edit" then start at the very bottom and with the last of the 30 HashTags and delete them all and also the 23 .'s that you had lined up on the left side by hitting . then return 23 times.
Now your post just has your message and no .'s lined up along the left side and no Hashtags!
No Hashtags?
Why did I have you place the 30 #'s and type all of that including the .'s and returns if I was just going to have you delete them 5 minutes later?
That is a very good question and that leads us to why the TOP SECRET SECRET is so Powerful!
Are You absolutely sure that You can be trusted with this TOP SECRET SECRET?
OK, I'll tell you now!
Instagram has a time stamp and when you utilize your 30 Hashtags then leave them there for at least 5 minutes they will forever (Unless something changes with their Algorithm) and when someone searches one of the Hashtags then your post has a chance of showing up!
So, Your post only looks crazy and gaudy for 5 minutes and will be bringing you traffic forever.
Did You like this TOP SECRET SECRET?
Are you going to put it into action and test it?
When You do, take note of how many more Likes, Comments and Views that You receive compared to before you knew about this TOP SECRET SECRET!

Oh this is a great post. Now I knew about the ..... dots thing but I did not know you could delete them after 5 mins.
I struggled to get the right hashtags. So time consuming so now I use Tailwind. It makes the selection for me.
That is some following you have there

Awesome Karen,
I have never heard of Tailwind before.
Is that an app for Instagram that's downloadable for choosing hashtags?
Is it a Free app and does it do other things as well Karen?
Thank you for sharing & caring,
Tony
It is an app or you can use their website and it enables me to schedule posts for Instagram and Pinterest. You can have a free trial, cannot remember how many posts you can have and then it is $15 a month. You can stay as a free forever but scheduling is limited and you won't get analytics.
You can have a month free on me https://www.tailwindapp.com/i/withgraceandgratitude
I am not an Affiliate but you can give a free month away. The free month starts after your free trial if you want to upgrade. No credit card required on sign up.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I have heard about the spacing of the hashtags and the message before, but when I tried to do it IG wont let me hit the . and return button. Is it because I am on an iphone possibly?
That is possible Josephine,

WOW! REALLY!?? I am so excited to do this on my Instagram account and also create 4 more accounts! I totally didn't know this. I also have never posted or hashtaged about working from home, but that is going to change right now! It's one more way to utilize and extend success here at WA!
One question: When I delete all the hashtags after 5 minutes, can I then add 30 more new hashtags for even more traffic? Just wondering how many times I can implement this procedure.
Great post and thanks so much for writing it! See you around!
Great question H. Erin,
No my Friend you can't add 30 more after deleting the first 30 because according to Instagram those 30 are still there :)
You can however, add a comment from 1 or all of your other accounts and include hashtags there along with your comments ...... Another Secret not to tell anyone who isn't with WA ;)
I'm excited to hear about your success my Friend.
Talk with you soon H. Erin,
Tony
I think they fixed this. I did this for a few. Deleted comment, then new comment with new # list.
