Copy and Paste Blogging & Small Business Hashtags to Grow Your Instagram Account

UPDATED: September 2018 

You’ve spent the last 20 minutes perfectly perfecting your Instagram image and caption and you’re ready to post – but you realise you now you have to think of 20 well-researched, relevant hashtags to go with your image so that it can can get the traction it deserves – sound familiar?

Like many others, I save many of the “go-to” hashtags I’ve stumbled across  in my phone to make this a quick and easy “copy paste” task. Minimal effort, maximum gain. They’ve certainly helped me to generate improved engagement on my Instagram posts so I thought – why not share them with others in a similar field?

Gone are the days where only specific hashtags reviewed by highly engaged tribes and niche groups are required for success. With Instagram launching it’s “Follow” feature for hashtags, many have gone back to following simple, hugely popular hashtags (e.g. #ceo) so I’ve found a carefully curated mix of both a few popular generic hashtags along with some more community-based hashtags work best for me.

Of course, this list should be used as a base line and should be optimised to include local keywords for your area, the industry you operate in or words relating specifically to the content you’re posting. Ultimately there is no silver bullet for engagement, but hashtags allow us to extend our reach and be seen by like-minded content consumers.

Are there any hashtags I’ve missed here that work a charm for you? Sharing is caring. Share them in the comments below to help out your fellow content creators and business owners.
