(Highlight any sentence to click and tweet!)
Instagram is a great way to share facets of your business to make it interesting and come alive. But to really use Instagram effectively you also have to use Hashtags – a lot of hashtags. But, if you are currently using Instagram automation to post from Instagram to Twitter or Facebook it doesn’t look good. Below is a quick tip to make it easier where you can auto-post and keep your hashtags too!
Don’t Do This:
Normally, people will post their hashtags in the caption field. When you do this your milllions of hashtags will also automatically be posted to Facebook, a place where hashtags are not really used. In order to avoid this social faux pas keep reading.
Do This:
Instead, use your caption to write a short sentence (140 characters if it is going to Twitter) and write the hashtags in your first comment! Now, you will not be able to edit the comment like you can edit the caption. However, it does make it easier to automate the sharing of your Instagram messages everywhere without creating a social faux pas.
