How artists can point out the best set of hashtags for their art style which actually help them rank top on Instagram? I suppose most of the potential artists on Instagram have this question in their mind But, Don’t worry team- Artwork promotion here to crack down the complexity.

  1. Choosing the best hashtags starts with figuring out the position of your Art page. Let’s say your art account is Newbie and have followers count lesser than 1k > for that you’re not suppose to use heavy hashtags with Millions of post already in it. In that condition, I strongly suggest you to use only those hashtags which have comparatively lower number of posts.

2. Instagram allows you to put up maximum 30 #hashtags per post but never reach that maximum limit of 30 as Instagram algorithm probably consider you as spam. 27–28 hashtags is the safer count!

3. Next thing is Selection of hashtags which suits your Art profile as well as your Art style, for that categories the set of hashtag in three segments. According to my formula, divide it into 10 hashtags + 8 hashtags + 6 hashtags ( Total — 24 Art hashtags).

4. Choose first 10 hashtags with lesser number of posts in it. For instance, From 100K posts to 500k posts only. Then Next 8 hashtags comprises of mixture ranging between 500k and 1M posts in it. After that, remaining 6 hashtags will going to be bit larger ( 1M+ posts ).

5. Afterward, point out the best 24 hashtags for your art posts. Leave the remaining 3–4 hashtags according to you Art style/ Art requirement. For example, for cloud landscape art use #cloudpainting or #skyart to make your post more specified and recognized among your targeted audience.
