Hashtags for artists will help you get your gorgeous art noticed! If you’ve been on Instagram for a while, you’ve definitely heard that hashtags may be a terrific source of traffic for your profile. If you’re not seeing results, it’s most likely because you’re not choosing the right ones!
Today, I need to confess something a bit unusual. I’m a maniac; I absolutely adore researching Instagram hashtags. It’s a fascinating process, and it’s simply one of those things where I put on my headphones, put on a catchy tune, and get TOTALLY involved in it.
Let’s go through 50 of the best Instagram hashtags I feel you should use to improve your creative profile results!
Let’s dive in!
What exactly will we discuss today? 🕵🏻
Did you know that you can use up to 30 hashtags per Instagram post? But the question is: should you do it as an artist?
WHAT A QUESTION. Of course you do!
They help you reach and attract “your people“. The ones who genuinely care about your art, your photography and want to see you grow as an artist. Hashtags are great for reaching your target audience. One strategy that is still working for artists on the Gram? Strategically using consciously picked hashtags. Here we go!
Choosing Instagram hashtags for your content might be challenging – with so many Instagram hashtags available, how are you supposed to choose the best ones, the finest Instagram hashtags out there?!
Pro tip: Avoid hashtags that are crazy, CRAZY saturated like #photography #photographer – those hashtags are way too crowded to bring you consistent results and your ideal clients can’t find you in that hashtag nearly as easily as a more local hashtag that is more niched-down!
