How to Get the Best Hashtags Instagram - Hashtag Fox

I’m so excited to finally share one of my favorite new apps for Instagram. Everyone, meet the incredible Hashtag Fox. It’s an incredibly easy-to-use online app that allows you to clearly, simply, and quickly search the most popular hashtags being used and found on Instagram in real-time!

Hashtag Fox for Instagram

 
 

I have been using Hashtag Fox for the last few months when I sit down to batch scheduled my Instagram posts for my wedding photography and the podcast/business coaching Instagram accounts. They provide a wonderful how to use the program when you first join but here’s a quick overview of how I like to use the program.

First, I log into Hashtag Fox and do a quick search on hashtags that I use frequently. It only takes a few minutes for the app to come back with the best and most popular hashtags that are being seen on Instagram. The program is easy to read with visual aids to help you see the top 9 Instagram posts and rates them from good to bad.

Next, your results will start to appear on your screen. You can simply click on the hashtags you’d like to use (note: you can use up to 30 hashtags on each Instagram post) and gives you the option to either save them to a new Hashtag Fox saved collection or simply copy and paste them into your Instagram Planner (I use Later) or directly into the Instagram post.

I prefer to create a new collection each time and then see how well the new set of Hashtags performs. You simply repeat this process for each new hashtag term you want to use. So easy!

My Favorite Feature - Nerd Mode

One of my favorite features in Hashtag Fox is Nerd Mode (image below) because it breaks down the hashtags by their actual performance!! If you are a data lover like me, this is so valuable!! It says which hashtags are Excellent, Good, or Insufficient (I would steer clear of those!). It’s so helpful to see how they rank and which ones you might want to focus on when you are creating your new posts.

You can also sort by the Magic Score or EP Likes, Average Likes, Comments, and more so you can see how each particular hashtag performs on the platform.

I like to use a mixture of popular and not-so-popular hashtags to give my posts a good chance of being seen. Instagram will only show your posts to approximately 3-5% of your audience so having a tool in your back pocket to help you be found is really something every wedding photographer should invest in.

Instagram Hashtag Results

After a few months of consecutively using Hashtag Fox, I can confidently say that more and more people have been seeing my posts on Instagram. They typically are new users who do not follow my accounts but through the power of hashtags found and saw my content on Instagram.

With how hard it is to be found on Instagram these days, I will take any help I can get and Hashtag Fox is a powerful, easy-to-use tool that makes searching for new hashtags simple and fun!

A Special Discount Just for You!

Just for our Tea with Jainé community - Hashtag Fox is $9 per month and you can use the discount code jainekershner to save money off of your monthly subscription. I’m so happy to partner with wonderful companies that support Tea with Jainé.

- I was given a free subscription to Hashtag Fox in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
