Why You Should Focus on Hashtags on Instagram

But first, you may be wondering why you should even bother with hashtag research on Instagram? 

Hashtags are single-handedly the best way to get your content in front of a new audience and expand your reach as a creator of any size. Shares are significant when you already have a decent-sized, established audience who want to spread the word about your content, but hashtags work to improve reach on accounts of any size. 

When you add a hashtag (a word following the # symbol) on an Instagram caption or in the comments section underneath a photo, story, or reel, your post will appear in search results for the exact hashtag you used. Depending on your audience and goals you can target niche hashtags or mass marketing hashtags, or both!

For example, if you have a business that specializes in dog accessories, you can target broad hashtags such as #cutedogs and #smalldogs as well as more niche hashtags such as #smalldogsincoats and #waggytails. These are just hashtag examples but this course will teach you how to tailor your hashtags to your business and ideal audience. 

What Is Hashtag Research for Instagram

Finding the right hashtags is our number one recommendation for helping you boost your organic Instagram reach for free. But shockingly, 27% of users on Instagram use three or fewer hashtags per post! This course will take you through why hashtags are imperative for a successful Instagram strategy, how hashtags work and how you can get the most out of them.

Using Flick’s easy-to-use hashtag analysis tool, you can find and manage your hashtags in our system, which can help categorize each hashtag for competition and help you organize the hashtags to use throughout your posts for the month. Saving you time in the future. 

Who is This Hashtag Academy for?

Micro-Influencers 

If you would call yourself an influencer (or even an aspiring influencer), this Hashtag Academy is ideal for you as it targets small bloggers who want to grow their audience and eventually monetize their audience through sponsored content and affiliate links. If you dream of turning your hobby Instagram into a side hustle or your full-time job, this course is made for you! 

Businesses that sell to consumers 

If you want to get your product or service in front of a brand new audience who is already interested in your niche, get on board! 

People who love to learn 

If you love learning about new things and discovering new ways to succeed, you will thrive on this course. 

People with busy schedules

Finally, if you feel too busy to squeeze in a long course but still want to achieve results, this course is perfect at just 1.5 hours long. It is also broken down into easy-to-digest sections so you can drop in and out of the course when you have 15 minutes spare. 

Who is This Hashtag Academy Not for?

People who want overnight success

If you are hoping for an overnight explosion in your reach and 1 million followers by next month, think again. This course will not bring you success in a day or even a week, but if you stick to it and implement these principles daily, you can achieve a significant increase in your following over time. 

Anyone with a personal Instagram who isn’t looking to monetize their audience

If you just use Instagram to share random photos of your life, your friends, and your dog, you probably don’t need this course to fulfil the Instagram you desire.
