When should I use a hashtag?
Hashtags help users find you and your posts, even if they aren’t following you yet, if you have a public or business profile. You can also follow hashtags on Instagram to stay up to date on the latest trends or other artists and creators. For example, #MeetTheMaker is a hashtag where creators share who they are and what they do with the global community of creators.
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, so you need to think about the number and most useful hashtags you want to include.
Of course, it stands to reason that the more hashtags you use, the more likely your posts are to be seen. However, use hashtags that are also more effective, as I describe below.
Literature Alliance Scotland recommends keeping hashtags to a minimum, as people who use assistive technologies or keyboard labels to navigate may have a hard time getting past them.
You may want to test which hashtags work best for you based on the number of new likes or comments it generates from the post.
New hashtags are also popping up all the time, so it’s best to keep an eye out for trends in your industry or national campaigns that pop up.
There are thousands of hashtags to use online, so it’s best to see which ones are most effective for you and the posts you want to get discovered.
Here are 4 things to think about when deciding which hashtags to use:
Keep It Relevant – Using useless hashtags that say nothing about your business, campaign, or practice will waste vital space on your post and not attract the right followers.
Be specific: the hashtag #artists It already has over 60 million posts, so it’s more likely to be seen if you use more specific hashtags that suit your art, like #DigitalArtist #printmaker #linocut #watercolorartist or #pixelartist.
Describe the content: On Instagram and Pinterest, it’s good practice to identify key elements in your image, such as colors, materials, or processes from artists and creators so that people searching for it can easily find your work.
Consider your location: some gallery owners search for artists or creators in certain locations or regions. Make sure to use the location option in your Instagram post and use hashtags like #mexicanartis #mexicanmaker #chileanartist #Argentinianartist if this applies to you.
Of course. You can create any hashtag word or phrase you want, for example a campaign name or a unique artist process that you use in your practice or work. However, keep in mind that your unique tag won’t be very searchable when you first use it. You can direct others to use your artist or brand hashtag to promote your work to others.
Below is a list of useful hashtags for artists and creators in various categories.
It’s not an exhaustive list, so you can find more on your own searches that relate to your own practice or particular campaign.
Take the ones most relevant to you and your creative business for your next social media posts. Identify the hashtags that can be used to make your publications, you can also use their equivalents in Spanish.
