Spend some time studying the hashtags used for your industry. Look at which hashtags influencers in your industry are using. Then research each of those hashtags and discover even more hashtags you can use in future posts.

If you do a search for a specific hashtag, Instagram will show you related hashtags. In a short time, you can compile a list of 100 or more hashtags to start using in your posts. Put your hashtags in blocks of 30 in your notes app and be strategic about using them so your posts will start showing up in different, yet related, places on Instagram.

Analyzing these five metrics will help you give your Instagram audience the content they want, which will naturally increase your followers and likes in an earned manner.
