Here are the dos and don&#8217;ts of creating your own unique Instagram hashtag.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>DON&#8217;T: Steal Another Company&#8217;s Hashtag<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We know it&#8217;s temping. A similar company comes up with a <i>sick<\/i> hashtag, it hasn&#8217;t brought them much success, and it seems perfectly innocent to start using it as your own. Even though it might seem like the shortcut to Insta-success, don&#8217;t do it. Even if the company isn&#8217;t your direct competitor, it&#8217;s simply in bad taste and will only muddy the search results when people try to find your posts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>DO: Brainstorm With The Crew<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having a hard time coming up with the perfect hashtag, brainstorm with your staff. If you&#8217;re a one-person mobile spray tan operation, then recruit the help of family and friends. Sometimes it takes more than one mind to come up with the perfect idea.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>DON&#8217;T: Spam Your Followers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve come up with the perfect hashtag, don&#8217;t overdo it. If you send your followers a million posts a day to try to push your new hashtag, there&#8217;s a chance that they&#8217;ll get annoyed and stop following you. You want your hashtag to gain momentum organically, not because you forced it on people.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>DO: Encourage Your Followers To Use It<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Definitely encourage your followers to use your new unique hashtag. Create incentives, such as being featured on your brand&#8217;s official page. The best way to get a hashtag to grow in popularity is by getting a lot of people to use it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>DON&#8217;T: Stay Married To A Hashtag If It Isn&#8217;t Working<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the hashtag you come up with doesn&#8217;t want to stick. If this happens, don&#8217;t be afraid to scrap the idea and brainstorm something new. When it comes to marketing your brand on Instagram, sometimes it takes multiple tries to get it perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re trying to promote your beauty or tanning business on Instagram, coming up with the perfect hashtag can be a great way to promote&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[108],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4937"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4937"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4937\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4992,"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4937\/revisions\/4992"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minetanbodyskin.com\/marqd-beauty-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
