How To Develop an Effective Hashtag Strategy: Quick Tips

Popular hashtags give your posts wide distribution. However, you should not rely solely on them if you want a strong social media presence. A hashtag with a high use volume also represents fierce competition. You’ll compete with tons of other people using the exact match hashtags. And if the keywords you use in your posts are irrelevant to your community, you’ll miss out on valuable engagement. 

Here are some quick tips to help you develop an effective hashtag strategy for any occasion:

  1. Choose hashtags that are relevant to your post and niche community. 
  2. Combine popular and niche hashtags for optimized targeting. 
  3. Use location-specific hashtags whenever possible. 
  4. Perform hashtag research when necessary. 
  5. Use TikTok’s search tool and Creative Center, as well as a hashtag generator, to identify relevant keywords and keyword combinations. 
  6. Monitor your Analytics to find out what hashtag combinations work best. 
  7. Start a hashtag challenge to promote your branded hashtag.
  8. Keep an eye on creators and brands in your industry and what keywords they’re currently using. 
  9. Create content around niche keywords with low use volume but are popular in searches.
  10. Stick to three to five hashtags per post.
