BEST HASH # TAG ON EACH PLATFORM

How to use hashtags on TikTok

TikTok might be the new kid on the block, but the competition is already fierce. To help you use hashtags even more effectively on TikTok, here are a few practical tips:

  • TikTok allows only 100 characters for captions. This character limit includes your hashtags. So, avoid using too many hashtags on TikTok.

  • Identify where the majority of your target audience resides and then try to upload your posts at the time when your target audience will generally be most active on TikTok. To help you with this, it is best to invest in scheduling tools that support TikTok such as Loomly.

  • While trending hashtags can give you a good boost, it is better to opt for the right mix of hashtags. As popular hashtags have a lot of competition, try to include a few niched hashtags that do not have as much competition too.

  • If you are feeling more adventurous and up for a challenge yourself, create a hashtag for a creative challenge and invite users to upload videos that use your hashtag and also remind them to tag their followers.

How to use hashtags on Instagram

On Instagram, you can add hashtags in a couple of ways. In addition simply to adding it to your post description, you can also add a clickable hashtag in your profile section and as a clickable hashtag sticker on your Instagram Story. 

While some marketing experts say that you should use the maximum of 30 hashtags that you are allowed and others instead feel that simply a few will do, here are some best practices for using Instagram hashtags that all can agree on.

  • To help create brand awareness and motivate followers to share user-generated content (UGC), you should include a branded hashtag in your profile’s bio. This branded hashtag should be something that is exclusive to your brand.

  • If you cater mostly to local target audiences, be sure also to include location-based hashtags.

  • To improve the readability of your post, you can hide the majority of your hashtags (especially if you are going for the approach of using all 30 hashtags) by placing them below “See More”. While some brands actually create a separate comment just for the hashtags, this is not the best approach as your hashtags will ultimately become less effective.

  • If you plan on using no more than two hashtags, it is better to place them above the fold (in other words before “See More”).

How to use hashtags on YouTube

YouTube also includes hashtags like several other social media platforms. By using the right keywords as hashtags, you help to make your videos more visible which will ultimately help you to get more subscribers.

All in all, adding hashtags to your video content is actually quite easy. You can either use relevant hashtags in the title of your video or at the end of the description of your video. 

The following are some best practices to help you make the most of hashtags on this popular video sharing platform: 

  • While you may include as many as 15 hashtags in your video’s description, it is best to stick to just a few – five at the most (with a maximum of two in the title of your video).

  • It can also be very effective if you take the time to come up with your own branded hashtags. This way you can help viewers discover more of your videos. YouTube makes the hashtags blue and clickable. So, if you use a branded hashtag and a viewer clicks on it, he/she will be redirected to more of your videos.

  • To ensure that YouTube does not remove your hashtags, always ensure that the hashtags that you include actually relate to your video. While using trending hashtags can help you with visibility, it will be of no use if they get removed.

  • Lastly, be sure to go over YouTube’s Community Guidelines. The last thing that your brand can afford is to include a hashtag that will cause offense and result in your videos being removed completely.
