Best practices for using hashtags
Adding
tags to your photos is a great way to find new followers and share your photos
with more people. But hashtags can be tricky. To get the most out of them,
you’ll want to keep a few things in mind. We’ll use this photo of a beautiful
Volkswagen van as an example!
Be
Specific
Choosing
specific tags will help you connect with other like-minded people on Instagram.
For this photo, instead of using the tag #van, we could use #vwvan. The photo
will be added to that highly targeted tag page, where other Volkswagen lovers
will be able to find the photo more easily (without sifting through photos of
Toyota Siennas and Chevy Astros). It's best to avoid using generalized tags,
such as #instagram or #iphone, as these types of tags can be applied to most,
if not all, photographs shared with Instagram.
Be
Relevant
Make
it easy for other like-minded Instagrammers to find you by making sure your
tags describe your photo. Using very general tags like #photo might get you a
few likes, but with over 700,000 photos tagged #photo, it isn’t the best way to
make your photos stand out and connect with the people most like you. Relevant
tags will help you attract new followers who will take a genuine interest in
your photos and continue liking and commenting on your photos over time. For
the photo above, in addition to #vwbus, we could use the tag #volkswagen.
Be
Observant
Pay
attention to the other hashtags used on photos that use the same tag as yours.
You may discover a popular hashtag you hadn’t thought of on your own. For
example, on photos tagged #volkswagen, we can see that many of those photos
also use the tag #vw. When you do a search for those tags, you’ll find out that
Instagrammers use #vw to describe their Volkswagen photos more than twice as
often as they use #volkswagen!
After
tagging the photo with relevant and specific tags, you may also find that
people sharing photos similar to yours are using even more specialized tags
that you hadn’t thought of originally. For our photo, we found that photos
tagged #vw and #vwvan also use #vwbus.
Android Photography Applications
We’ve researched applications
available for Android that can help you enhance and improve your photographs.
Here are a few apps for simple and quick image editing to get you started!
Photo Editing
For basic image editing, Adobe Photoshop Express is a great application! It gives you
the ability to alter exposure, saturation, tint, contrast & brightness
quickly for simple image edits.
Combining Multiple Photos
Everyone loves combining multiple photos into
one! A simple and easy to use application, Diptic, allows you to combine up to four
images into one single frame. Be sure to check out this Photo Tips blog on combining images for some great tips!
Content-Aware Retouching
Have you ever captured the perfect shot right
when someone starts to walks through the frame? Or maybe you want to remove
those unsightly wall plugs & switches in order to redirect focus to the
decor. While happy accidents can create beautiful “right place, right time”
photographs, the TouchRetouch application can help remove
unwanted content from photos!
We want to know your favorite
photo editing applications for Android! Send us a note through Tumblr
to let us know which ones you love.
I want to delete my account
In
order to delete your Instagram account, please visit our Account Removal page:
https://instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/
When
you delete your account, your photos, comments, likes, and friendships
(everything) will be removed permanently and will not be recoverable. We cannot
reactivate accounts. Additionally, you will not be able to sign up with the
same username again.
I want to reactivate my account
There is no way to reactivate
your account once it has been deleted. You will need to sign up for a new
account using a different username.
Mention
another user.
There are two places you can tag
(or "mention") another Instagram user: in the caption and in a
comment. To mention someone in a caption, just type @ followed by the username.
For example, "Duck watching in Golden Gate Park with @mrcippy." When
you publish the photo, "@mrcippy" will be clickable, the user will be
notified he or she was tagged, and the tagged name will lead your followers to
his or her Instagram page.
Another way to use tags is in the
comments. So, if you want to reply to someone's comment (or caption) on a
photo, tap and hold the username and select "mention user." You'll
then be able to reply directly to that person's comment or caption.
I have been wanting to learn how to use Instagram better. This is incredibly helpful for that reason, because now I know all about the editing and sharing of it. However, I am having a difficult time because I hardly have any followers. I want to be able to have more so that more people can see my photos. I have heard that it is a good idea to buy Instagram followers just to get your account started, do you know anything about that? http://shopsocialbusiness.com
