How to Use Hashtags in Your Instagram Stories?
Hashtags are a great way to get more eyes on your Instagram Stories. They help you reach a wider audience, and they make it easy for people who are interested in your content to find you. But how do you use hashtags in your Instagram Stories? In this blog post, we’ll show you how!
There are two ways to add hashtags to your Instagram Story: by adding them to your story before you share it, or by adding them to your story after you’ve already shared it.
Add hashtags to your story before you share it
Simply type out the hashtag (or hashtags) you want to use, and then tap the “Share” button. After that, your story will be shared with the hashtag(s) included.
Add hashtags to your story after you’ve already shared it
Tap on the “Add Hashtag” button that appears at the bottom of your screen. Type out the hashtag (or hashtags) you want to use, and then tap “Done.” Then, your story will be updated with the new hashtag (or hashtags).
Using Popular Hashtags
If you want to use popular hashtags in your Instagram Stories, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, make sure that the hashtag is relevant to your content. Using irrelevant hashtags is a surefire way to turn off potential followers. Second, avoid using too many hashtags—doing so will make your story look spammy, and again, will turn off potential followers. And finally, don’t forget to mix up the hashtags you’re using from time to time—using the same exact set of hashtags over and over again is boring, and again, will turn off potential followers.
Hashtags are a great way to get more eyes on your Instagram Stories. By using relevant, popular hashtags, you can reach a wider audience and attract new followers. Just remember not to overload your stories with too many hashtags—less is more!
