If there’s one thing you can count on it’s that the rules for social media will change. Earlier this year, the rules for Instagram hashtags changed and that means the best practices that worked in the past just aren’t as effective anymore. The thing is, when done right you can actually use hashtags to grow your brand and meet your marketing goals. For example, did you know you can now follow hashtags as well as actual pages? And that simply copying and pasting the exact same list of Instagram hashtags into every single post you publish is considered spammy and will impact your engagement! Check out the updated rules for Instagram hashtags including how you can find the right hashtags for your business below. ®

We stumbled across this Definitive Guide to Facebook Ads, which walks you through everything you need to know, from planning your first ad to developing advanced campaign strategies.
