MAJOR TIP to Increase Engagement: Did you know that there is a way you can use more than<br />

30 hashtags on Instagram? Whaaaatttt! Yes, it’s true. We all know the more hashtags you use,<br />

the more engagement you can possibly get and right now this a trick that is currently out there<br />

as of (November 24, 2017), yes I have used it and it works but I must issue this DISCLAIMER:<br />

Usage of this technique can be considered a growth hack and could get you shadowbanned.<br />

I only mention it because it is something I am asked about often but once again use at your<br />

own risk! This is something you can learn more about by simply googling “how to post more<br />

than 30 hashtags to Instagram.” In all honesty at this point with all the algorithms it is better to<br />

grow your account organically and stray away from anything that may affect your account.<br />

Instagram Business Profile: Ensure you<br />

have converted to a Business Profile on<br />

Instagram. This can easily be done by<br />

going to your settings and clicking the<br />

business profile option. This will not only<br />

allow you to share posts from your<br />

Instagram to your FB business page with<br />

ease but will also allow you to see<br />

detailed info about your audience and<br />

what times they are online. It will help<br />

you to see the best days/times to post<br />

to your current list of followers. This is<br />

where the use of analytics comes in<br />

handy.<br />

The best times to post on Instagram? Apart from using Instagram analytics as a<br />

guide, the best times to post differ from FB and it really is a cat and mouse game<br />

between you and your target audience. I have found an easy way to figure out your<br />

audience is to set certain times to post an image during the day and night. Then<br />

make a note of the amount of engagement you receive for each post. After a week<br />

you should be able to see what times brought the most engagement. You generally<br />

want to stick to posting at the high engagement times to help with exposure and<br />

visibility.<br />
