Every month, I answer a listeners question and today, I’m responding to Paulas question.
She said:
I have a question about hashtags on Instagram.
I’m struggling to know:
- The best hashtags to use
- The best way to find hashtags?
I'm sitting here researching hashtag strategies but there are so many it’s mind-blowing!
Thank you

Brilliant question Paula.
And you're right, with so much differing information around about how to find and use hashtags it can feel really overwhelming.
If you've listened to my podcasts before, you'll know I like to keep things simple, so in this episode, I share my 6 steps process for finding and using hashtags.
We explore:
- What hashtags are
- How they are used on different social media platforms
- How to use them to grow your practice
- Choosing hashtag categories
- How to find appropriate hashtags
How to search hashtags on Instagram:
It's not easy describing how to do things on a podcast when really, a picture really helps. So here are some screenshots of how I do hashtag research in Instagram.
1. Type your search term into the search bar and select 'See all results'.
2. Tap on the hashtag symbol.
3. Select relevant hashtags according to name and follower number.
I hope this helps you find and use hashtags on social media and Instagram.
