4. Hashtag Shortcut
When you establish which Hashtags you'll use for
your posts, you can streamline the process easily.
Think about what you're posting about.
Brainstorm some words that describe what you
do. Write them down, they'll come in handy
later!

5. Step 1: Open your notes application
It doesn't matter what application you use,
just make sure you can copy and paste
from the notes!

Click "New"
to create a
note
PRO TIP: Sue B. has
SEVEN accounts
on Instagram alone,
and to keep
organized I make
different notes for
each account and
platform

7. Step 3: Create Hashtag Groupings
For each post,
you have up to 30
#'s to use. Your
branding should
be consistent
BUT you will get
more
engagement if
you tailor the
hashtags to each
type of post

to use
PRO TIP: Avoid
using spammy
hashtags-they won't
attract the type of
followers you are
looking for, and
your post will get
pushed down very
quickly! (examples:
#likeforlike
#instadaily)
