Creating Pictures and Adding Hashtags

Step 6: Each day, if time allowed I posted some Instagram pics.

I use the free version of Canva to create all my official pins and posts. On my personal page, I simply upload photos, as is, from my phone camera. Super quick and easy!

Within these first 20 days my style has emerged.

I usually post 3 pictures for each article up on my site.

The two on each side look similar, the one in the middle has a different design and is meant to be the one that stands out the most (although I usually seem to get the most likes on the picture on the left hand side – possibly because it’s the one I post latest in the day)?

Step 7: When I load up the Instagram pictures for an article I add hashtags relating to that article and look for other posts using those hashtags.

e.g. When I uploaded my posts about Mom Inventor, Julia Christie – I looked for other posts on #mominventors #muminventors #mominvented etc.

Step 8: I then go to the hashtags most relevant to the article and like, follow or comment on as many posts that show up under that hashtag as I can (time permitting).

I figure these people will most likely be my target market for this article.
