A person can use the amount of hashtags that they feel are necessary for their post, but they should be mindful that there are limits. Posts are limited to using 30 hashtags. Many experts would recommend not using that amount, for the post can be seen as spam.

Social media experts recommend using five to six hashtags a post. These hashtags should be relevant to the post, and the best tags should be used to get the most engagement. Hashtags can help people with no following to millions of followers traffic to their posts, turning into more likes and follows.

There are a lot of people who wish that they would get a lot of likes on Instagram. It seems that celebrities find it easy to get likes. People would just like their photo because they like the celebrity. It can be harder for regular people to get the likes that they want unless they start using hashtags. Hashtags will allow other people to view their posts.

When other people like their posts, they can get more likes on Instagram. You may use up to 30 hashtags on your Instagram post so that you can place the hashtags that will offer the most engagement from other people. Yet, a lot of marketers say that you can work with about 5 to 6 just so you can get the likes that you are targeting from certain people.

There are countless questions regarding the use of hashtags and what their purpose is. There is a limit of 30 hashtags per post; however, if you use the top amount allowed, some say it can be confused as spam.

Marketers say use five or six, and there is a study, of course, that states that eleven is the best choice because you will get better engagement with that number. In the study, there are percentages of a group of one thousand followers.

The percentages range from 18% for the use of zero hashtags to 79.5% with the use of 11. The hashtag is #, and when you click on it, you will find the path to follow and see everything connected to the post.
