Fun fact, did you know that an Instagram account with 1 hashtag will receive 12.6% more engagement than one without. I’ve always wondered about hashtags, do they work, don’t they? Instagram made them available for a reason right, so its always best to use tools Instagram offers, it does help with the every changing algorithm.
I have noticed that they do bring more engagement to my posts a few new followers to my feed each month.
I thought I’d share some Instagram hashtags that I have been using recently. In my notes app (am absolute must have) I save a variety of hashtags for different categories, I then adapt them to what I am posting to make it more personal. And remember there is a 30 hashtag limit to each post.
The key to encouraging more more people to engage with your content is to chose hashtags which do not have millions of posts, as it’s just going to get lost. Its a good idea to use a mix of small, medium and large hashtags so you have the best chance of your post being seen. So mix it up, see what works for you.
Have a little look through relevant hashtags to your posts/account and you will soon find ones that will work well for your account.
It is also a great idea to engage on these related posts, I have found so many incredible accounts in my niche through hashtags, and remember it is called social media for a reason, be social!
Feel free to use these hashtags as you wish.

Hey Vicky!
Thanks for the tips! I’m pretty bad with social media, just starting to put some more effort into it but I think I’m not doing very well with hashtags to be honest! Haha
I’ve taken notes of some of these 😉 thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome 🙂
Thank you for the list, will use some of them in my next posts. Pinned 🙂
That amazing, glad they helped!
This was really useful, and I definitely think I’ll be referring back to this at a later date! I sometimes really struggle coming up with hashtags that will get a wider reach, so it’s nice to have this as a guide x
Awe that’s great, glad it can help! 🙂 x x
Thank you for sharing this list. Hopefully it will be very useful.
Glad they will help 🙂
Oh, that is super interesting!
Your welcome 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing these hashtags! I am really struggling with Instagram but I will give it another go and try some new things. I use hashtags but I didn’t think of some of these ideas. Thank you!

It’s great to mix them up a little each time so Instagram doesn’t shadow ban your account, which is really irritating ~
I should do the hashtag bank and break in each different category so I won’t forget.

A very helpful post! It’s always great to find new #’s!
Glad it helped 🙂
I’m always so behind on what hashtags to use for instagram. I haven’t really posting much, because of everything that’s been going on in the US atm, but at least I know i’ll be up to date when I start posting again! Great post xxx

Thank you. I switch them up every post, as IG likes to shadowban when you use them to much, which sucks! xx
