There\u2019s no better platform to market your YouTube video than this millennial-friendly goldmine. Using hashtags strategically is one of the best ways to give your video an extra boost. There\u2019s so much more to hashtag marketing than simply picking a few keywords and scattering them across your posts. This is how you use hashtags the right way to increase your engagement, get more views and subscribers fast.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. A good rule of thumb is to balance your hashtags into four types<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you have a sneaker store called \u201cMax\u201d and your post promotes white sneakers, here\u2019s are the type of hashtags you should be using in your post:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Branded hashtags that are exclusive to your YouTube channel (#maxfashion #maxshoes #maxsneakers)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Targeted hashtags with 10k-90k mentions (#whitelook #whitesneakers)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medium hashtags with around 100k-500k mentions (#sneakerstore #customsneakers)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broad hashtags that have 500k+ mentions (#fashion #sneakers)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram lets you post upto a maximum of 30 hashtags per post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Gain Instagram Followers Organically 2022 (Grow from 0 to 5000 followers FAST!)\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OY4mWOEmo_0?start=594&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. Make sure you keep switching up your hashtags for every post. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you copy-paste the same hashtags for all your posts, your account may come across as spammy and Instagram could decrease your post\u2019s visibility. What you can do is create around seven different groups of hashtags for each day of the week. Mix and match these hashtags for every post and rotate them through the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/ge4RRiqfpkoBDa3tyJ5EPQcZ9d6rUpIK_Qa2IMoz7PuOXqedmgYxpTx0w0OskR1FLgXkBOEwcGxz7PbWeBzlBuCS84LmypmKDaIdIik88sU3CRfX5b9ThRFZZLqwIJxawfy4m58f\" width=\"811\" height=\"495\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Use the Instagram search bar to look for hashtags in your niche<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these hashtags to keep a tab on what your competitors are posting. Hashtags that you follow will pop in in your feed and make it easier for you to stay on top of trends. A clever tactic is to like and comment on the top 10 posts that pop up in your search bar every hour. This will draw people in your niche to your page, increase engagement and open up your chances to form new collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/jR5DRZxkVhThmKDtnrYZensoB_hiLNB9i1LXsuEMaFr2k1ksH49kKEsCimFAAhs_QTgJDyoPfrCMg0aiuqOaoy7V9v57ghm7ol9ZtK9WX1e0Y6sQimACkMYD-RJvKgmW9QB9Mwgb\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. You can also use the Instagram search bar to find the most popular hashtags in your niche<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you type #beach on the search bar, the dropdown menu will show other trending hashtags like #beachlife #beachday #beachbody. You can use these hashtags in your post caption to increase visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/9nUVRgo1ZMvrPJJoVnt8bBQq0ExduP0GJyGTmFXvFWbBubLYMH587kxbba2GCmtsj4JoNMRyRjvxa4ZAnbXZkStNGXJ1Hr-wMCZ9DkD5toyCCo-3nOn1kCcTx4Vre6113aJop5x-\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Use websites like <a href=\"https:\/\/displaypurposes.com\/\">Display Purposes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hashtagify.me\/\">Hashtagify<\/a> to give you a list of high performing hashtags<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also type in your keyword on Google to populate popular keywords.

Location hashtags are highly effective in increasing your post\u2019s visibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to include them in your Instagram stories as well. For example, if you\u2019re posting from a bar called Veggie Bar in Melbourne, you can use the hashtag #melbourne and #veggiebar in your stories and a few geographic-specific hashtags in your posts like #veggiebar #seemelbourne #visitaustralia.
