Get more followers and more likes by using the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">right hashtags<\/span>. In fact, using hashtags, and how you use them on Instagram is very important. How to do that the right way, you will read in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who hasn&#8217;t seen them pass by in Insta posts? We&#8217;re talking about hashtags. Hashtags are words that appear after this character &#8220;#&#8221;. Hashtags are keywords you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">can attach to<\/span> a photo you post. When you use the search function within Instagram, you are essentially searching for posts with matching hashtags. If these keywords are not associated with your photo, then you will most likely not be found. Not being found also means no likes on your post, or gaining you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/en\/instagram-followers\/\">a new follower<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to use hashtags.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to use hashtags. A hashtag deploys <strong>descriptively<\/strong>. This means that the word tells something about <strong>what you see<\/strong> in the picture. The better the match, the more it will yield. Many people use irrelevant keywords and therefore miss the mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/10\/zoeken-op-instagram.jpg\" alt=\"search\" width=\"747\" height=\"73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/zoeken-op-instagram.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/zoeken-op-instagram-510x50.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/zoeken-op-instagram-300x29.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who use the search function at Instagram are looking for something specific. These people you want to reach, of course, because, after all, you want to form a match. The better the match, the more likely your post will be liked, and you will gain a new follower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-4607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/10\/nike-sportschoenen-op-instagram.jpg\" alt=\"nike shoes\" width=\"306\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nike-sportschoenen-op-instagram.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nike-sportschoenen-op-instagram-300x238.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/span>Example with a shoe<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here we give you a nice example with accompanying image. You post a picture of your new shoes. In doing so, you try to describe the shoes using hashtags as best you can. People who enter these keywords in the search function will then come to your post much faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-style: italic;\">You can attach the following <span style=\"color: #000000;\">#hashtags<\/span> to this post:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0000ff;\">#nikeshoes #suedeshoes #sportshoessuede #greynike #greynikes #greynikeshoes #sportshoeswoman #womannikes #nikeswomen <\/span>and so on. As you can see, they the tags are descriptive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not use tags that have <strong>nothing<\/strong> to <strong>do<\/strong> with your photo, such as:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  #opterrace #churchstreet #holiday #zoo  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you <strong>can<\/strong> <strong>do<\/strong> is use the irrelevant words without a hashtag such as:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Been to the zoo with my #nikeshoes<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Golden Tip: being unique is better<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more unique the hashtag, the more targeted your audience. More than <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">225 million people<\/span> are <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">active<\/span> on the word <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">fitness<\/span>. The chances of your post being shown at #fitness are extremely low. The hashtag #fitnessinstructor is used only 21,000 times, where you are thus featured much faster. The lower the number, and therefore the more unique the tag is, the more the yield will be. To <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">focus on large numbers is to shoot with hail<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-4609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/10\/nederlandse-hashtags.jpg\" alt=\"dutch hashtags\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nederlandse-hashtags.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nederlandse-hashtags-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nederlandse-hashtags-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/span>Using Dutch tags<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using Dutch hashtags, you not only target the smaller market, where competition is lower, but in many cases you reach more people. Especially when using Instagram for business purposes and marketing, it is <strong>smarter<\/strong> to focus on Dutch keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>More likes and followers help with findability<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get post better found, likes and followers can help. Just search for a few hashtags yourself and see what profiles show up. Often these are the profiles with 2000+ followers and 100+ likes. You can do this yourself. In fact, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/en\/instagram-likes\/\">buy likes for your<\/a> photos <strong>and<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.likes-kopen.nl\/en\/instagram-followers\/\">buy followers for your Instagram profile<\/a>. If you still have little of either, then a combination package can also be useful. With a combo package, multiple photos are liked, and you gain followers. Relatively speaking, this is cheaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Reaching specific audiences<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to reach a specific audience on Instagram without setting up a paid campaign, we have a very nice product, which is very effective and many times cheaper, namely our automation package.
