How do I use #hashtags? 💭
So you’ve got your content and caption ready to go, now it’s time to think about hashtags! 🤔

But what actually are hashtags? 😵💫
Hashtags are regularly used on social media platforms as a label so users can find certain content easily! Hashtags also help social media users to discover brand new content that grabs their attention 👀
If you find hashtags overwhelming, that’s okay! We have created 5 tips to help you use hashtags efficiently and effectively! 😍
