How to choose the best Instagram hashtags for photographers (and everyone else)

[@stefpix]

Great tip about the DM of hashtags. If you edit a post you can copy the text and hashtags and click X to not make any changes and copy the tags elsewhere. I sometimes email the hashtags to myself. You could keep an email draft or a google doc with a multitude of hashtags to reuse. Type on the computer, accessible on the mobile.

[@Mirendahm]

Love the hashtag grouping / category advice

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Yeah, that one can be really helpful.

[@harrissrichard]

Hi Jonny, great advices! I love your content and how you help people. How much time do you usually spend to do your full hashtag search?

[@cecilylinthicum8765]

I usually spend about 1 hour, yes it's really time-consuming considering that you need to update your hashtag set at least every

[@tinishasobol7282]

I have hired someone to do it for me, every 3 days I get a fresh hashtag set to use

[@ethelynjaques2725]

If your content is not great do not spend anytime searching hashtags

[@alvybachelard61]

I gave up, I know that hashtags bring a lot of results but it's too time-consuming

[@harrisonjazmyn1766]

I try to finish my search in under 90 minutes

[@kishincorp]

You can copy your hashtags with your phone. Just go to your internet browser on your phone and go to your post you can copy it like normal tekst. And love the video!

[@flocps0515]

I would be interested in more videos about Instagram for photographers or other creative categories

[@BriderPig]

Instant subscribe after I watched your 13 tips on instagram post - I love your depth of thought & you give such sage advice. I've been trying to grow my instagram for so long but my introverted perfectionist self hates it so much!! You've no idea how much your advice helps me psychologically! THANK YOU!!

[@JoeJennings]

Hi Jonny, I'm a skydiving stunt coordinator and cinematographer in Los Angeles who is finally beginning to embrace the value of promoting my work on social media, so I'm very new to all of this. Your videos are straight forward and it feels like the points you're teaching are a good approach overall, so I'm taking notes and excited to get started. Thanks for this!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks Joe, good luck with it!

[@robinfellows-weir3734]

Very useful, thanks Jonny! Just to let you know, you can actually copy and paste hashtags on mobile (on Android anyway) - you need to choose the three dots menu on the post, 'edit post', then select and copy, and then exit and you can paste elsewhere.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Ah thanks for this Robin. That's a fair point that method will likely work on iOS too. Well spotted.

[@dcblondie2141]

Oh my God. First of all bless you for having the first KZbin I found in 10 years that actually helps with Instagram. Really I appreciate you. And I put so much effort into hashtags and that groups of 10 just changed my life all of the suggestions were brilliant I appreciate you you saved me like three hours next year of my life🤣🤣🤣❤️🙏🏼

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks Ruth for those kind words I really appreciate that. I'm glad it helped!

[@AimeeDM]

Excellent tips Jonny. I agree with choosing the less used hashtags because it definitely would reach more people than the crowded hashtags. All of your points are absolutely awesome especially number 9 which I believe is the most valuable.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks so much Aimee, thanks for watching!

[@wethe_travellers8098]

Hi Jonny thank you for all your tips I just started traveling photography and can do with all your ideas and suggestions. Thank you

[@sean2532]

I’ve recently subscribed and enjoying your content. I use the text replacement feature to add my hashtags in a group, really easy to set up as well. Saves having to copy & paste from a note.

[@cameronbishop6395]

I've been taking a lot of photos for about a year looking forward to using some hashtags and seeing the response!

[@milenakrish]

So much great value in almost 9 minutes, thanks!!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Glad it was helpful!

[@digeratadesign]

thx jon. good hashtag tips. i bought your presets. interiors. really sweet tones and I like that they really work best on darker inside shots that need a color and or contrast boost. as a starter anyway then I edit.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks loads for that mate, I'm glad you're enjoying them and I'm glad you're using them that way, that was the idea. Some are extreme but really good for certain situations.

[@cainerose7841]

You absolutely can copy and paste hashtags from previous posts. Go to the post you want to use the hashtags from and select “edit”. Long press screen and “select all” then “copy”. Go to your new post and “paste”. Done!

[@mombodreviews3914]

That copy paste tip from the desktop site is gold! Thank you!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nelsonduarte5340]

You explain things in a simple and direct way 👍 thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@jornidema1884]

I use the app leetags it gives you the how much the hash tag is used and shows relevant hastags

[@escapewithshalu5626]

Really great tips 👍👍 I should definitely start using less hashtags

[@Rudy-kr1dd]

Great tips!! I used some of your tips before watching your video, great content!

[@nicracine]

Relevant, and to the point. You are not just rehashing other people's info. You got a new subscriber!

[@heartweddingsphotography2490]

Cheers Jonny....Great information to help with instagram hashtag as I have only just started to concentrate on them more, in the past I found them a little mystfiying, good quality info, Thank you.

[@coolnamacoolful]

You can copy your old #s from your mobile by opening the edit option for your older post and then select and copy them.

[@johanaaltonen6277]

Hi, i have realy like your videos, and there are great advises. Thank you very much for those videos.

[@mickybricks0548]

Your lighting is really good and cool ☆☆☆

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thank you, I've changed it in my recent videos, but hopefully it's an improvement.

[@lmsorenson8503]

Hashtags can also be easily be added into your clipboard (Android at least) on your phone and you can lock and unlock per need. I have a clipboard of landscape mountain, landscape desert, concert photography, portraits, headshot, dance ... They're all not too long and they're easy to mix and match. They stay there as long as I want in a group of 1 to 20 #.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Nice idea, I've only done this from an iOS point of view.

[@andreiteodorof3409]

Man, you're great! Can't believe you just started your account! You're smashing it! Keep up the good work and thanks for the great content 👍 👌

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks very much mate, means a lot!

[@Jadwuh]

Great tips. Also I’ve found a way around not being able to copy on mobile, is to ‘edit’ your photo caption and copy them from there.

[@dannyboy_jenkins5954]

Why have I never thought of this, you're a genius lol

[@blacklove1657]

Had hashtag page

[@97Miriam]

Really like the way you're explaining things. 🙏🏼

[@zxloxtyytxolxz5022]

Love that you misspelled „hastags“ when mentioning Tip 4: avoid misspelled hashtags 😂 amazing video, learnt really much!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thank you! I’ll have to rewatch and see if I can get away with pretending I did it on purpose 😆

[@MacBackwardz]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley spelt it wrong in the thumbnail as well fella

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

@@MacBackwardz I can't believe 1 it's taken this long for someone to point that out, and 2 for me to notice! :)

[@zacgrimaldo]

While we're grading your paper, there's an extra space in the word "and" in tip number 9. 7:46 But you probably did that on purpose, meaning aaaannnndd! Solid video! Enjoyed it!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

@@zacgrimaldo I wish I did :) I edit these so quickly it's amazing there aren't more errors.

[@bellamcluce1184]

You can copy paste hastags in mobile too, go to edit post and select the hashtags copy them.

Thanks for this, great tip!

[@Shravangohan]

I'm mostly into landscape photography. Haven't been having a great time on instagram lately. Thanks for the tips, I'll try them and get back :)

[@moshedabash1265]

This, and your other videos really helped me.

[@LCfit]

Cheers for the tips and for putting out an video filled with actual tips and information :). one question, how do you view the hashtags that are working for you? could you please make a video on this :). I mostly do landscape, street and creative photography.

[@akshatsenpai]

Great videos mate! I recently stambled over your videos and they help a lot! After almost 3 years just taking pictures and putting them on insta without any more effort from my side, I thought i give insta and youtube a real chance and there came your videos quite handy! Definitely got me thinking about what i really " want to do" with my pictures and getting out the the mindset "i need more likes likes likes"! Cheers Daniel, keep up the good work!

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. They're really clear and your suggestions make such sense and are really easy to follow.

Thanks for putting the time into these videos.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

My pleasure dude

[@Vronden]

Great video, thanks for all the advice. One correction: you can copy hashtags from mobile. Simply go to the post you want to copy them from, click the 3 little dots in the top right corner and then click on 'edit'. (On iPhone) you can now tap anywhere to get the option to select everything and then copy it. When I've copied everything, I click Cancel on the top left corner and then I post a new picture where I paste the text I just copied.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks Vincent, as few people have mentioned this. Great tip!

Great videos and useful Tipps. I do mainly wildlife photography and haven’t found the right # yet. Also love to shoot architecture and landscape but this will mess up my feed. I love to have a clean feed but on the other hand I am too lazy for a second or third account for different genres.

[@chasecarlino4371]

late to the party, but instead of using desktop only to copy hashtags from previous posts, you could always copy them from the original post on mobile by hitting edit post, then select, copy, save changes, paste to new post. thanks for the other tips though, extremely useful.

[@yuktijustin66]

I'm just getting started with social media management and your content has been extremely helpful! I look forward to your videos regularly :D Quick question: How do I know exactly which hashtag worked for me?

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

You just have to keep an eye on them, if you start getting a bunch of likes from people that don't follow tap on the hashtags and see if your post is ranking.

[@jamesperrycoffee354]

Hey Johnny! Thanks for sharing these great tips. Big fan of your videos and very excited to see what you keep coming up with!

[@ayushmahadik9215]

Also using the android app called 'autohash' and then sort from those It gives relevant hashtags for your photos

[@bingewithanurag]

I edit anime or tv series with badass songs . But I'm new so idk much about editing I try to be as good as I can & I try to teach myself

[@paulcookphotography]

Great video Jonny! Definitely some great tips in here as usual. I have a whole note section of different hashtags I use, I try to switch them up now and then. For instance, when I travel to a place, I use local hashtags relative to that place mixed with more generic landscape photography hashtags. Seems to work well. Some places, like Edinburgh, have off the charts hashtag engagement, while other places I've visited is hit or miss. Thanks again for a great video, always very helpful. Have a great weekend and stay safe over there.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

That's a perfect way to do it. You're right some places have a really engaged hashtag following. It usually correlates with a niche tourist or enthusiast community, rather than mainstream holiday travel.

[@salmans8451]

Very useful content.. Really loved the information! I always used to put in most popular photography hashtags, but now I'll put the less popular and bore relevant ones. Thanks alot.

[@yahiabnx]

I actually agree on overything except when you said 'use as many hashtags' because instagram sees that as a spam and will shadow ban you for using so many hashtags

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

I would be interested to see evidence of this. I agree that repeating hashtags does this, but IG set the limit at 30 themselves. If they didn't want you to use them all they would simply reduce the limit.
