# How can I use hashtags to my advantage?

How can I use hashtags to my advantage?

## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- Use **hashtags** that are appropriate for your business, niche, and target audience. Your audience will be more particular if you use more relevant and specific hashtags.
- Creating at least one branded hashtag for your brand, business, or blog is a fantastic idea.
- There's a lot more to hashtags than you might think. Look up your competitors' hashtags and other [**Instagrammers**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96474/what-are-the-differences-between-pinterest-and-instagram) in your niche to see what they're using.
- If you have a single hashtag that you believe accurately defines your brand or business, the new 'Related Hashtags' function will be valuable to you.
- Using the most popular hashtags will undoubtedly bring in new likes, but if you use one that is really popular, your post will quickly become lost in the shuffle.
- The top posts for each hashtag are listed in a section on the hashtag page.
