Week8: Hashtags and Timing

 For my instagram posts I used the Hashtags that I thought best suited the images and type of posts.

#warhammer40k #warhammer #gwpaint #paintcollection #bloodforthebloodgod #proacryl #proacrylpaints #warhammer40k #berzerker #khorneberzerkers

etc

These Hashtags I found by looking at other hobbyists on Instagram and how they tag their posts. These are specific to the hobby and to the images that are being posted. This I think narrows searches for potential followers / fellow hobbyists.

I tried to post in the mornings, which seemed to get to most traffic by noon. I think it’s that first coffee break perusal of instagram people do in the mornings. I think going forward I will be posting or setting up auto posts to hit that part of the morning (between 9 and 10 am pacific time).

I learned quit a bit from this exercise. I learned traffic can ebb and flow like tides, so finding the right time of day for posting in your niche or genre will organically raise your views and audience awareness of your brand.
