Much like Twitter, Instagram uses hashtags - but there are a few rules you need to know.

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

Hashtags are super easy to find on Instagram. When you enter the number sign (or hashtag symbol) and start typing the word you want, several word-combination options become available. If you search the hashtag, you can actually see how many times it's used. Popularity is important, however here's the BIG RULE... you CANNOT have more than 30 hashtags in a single post. Instagram won't let you post until you reduce them to 30. Use your hashtags wisely.
