Week 8 Part B: Your Instagram Hashtag Use

What hashtags did you use on your posts?
Here are the main 12 hashtags that I am using on pretty much every post and will add to this list as I find more that I like and seem to work. #RealestateDrone#realestatephotos #realestatedrone#interiorphotoshoot #dronephotography#northcountyrealtor#northcountyrealestateagent#vistarealestate#oceansiderealestate#realestatephotagraphy#sanmarcosphotorgraphy

How did you find the ones that you used. 

I was able to find then by first looking at what similar businesses in my industry were using and then modifying them for my area. 

Did you use ones that were specific to your business

I did not use hashtags that were specific but I definitely will think about that as that could be beneficial to growing my following. 

What time did you add your posts? Were certain times (or days) more effective? Explain 

I posted at around 12:30 pm, any time between 12 and 3 are good times to post as many are using Instagram around this time but I still want to experiment with this theory. The best days are Wednesdays and Friday's but I still want to test to find the best days but those seem to work nicely. 

What did you learn from this exercise?

What I learned was that Instagram is a very important aspect to social media and your business. This platform can help your business and you should use it to get yourself out there and have people find you. It also so easy to schedule ahead of time and get things ready, so when you have time you can schedule posts out and frees up your future time. Finding the best time, hashtags, and content to post can really boost your post and increase awareness of your brand that can potentially lead to increased sales & revenue.
