There is now a hashtag for every occasion. And we're not just talking about social media... we are guilty of finding ourselves speaking in hashtags IRL too *hangs head in shame*. As fun as they are, hashtags have a very real and practical purpose, they help you to join conversations and get your profile out there. In fact, a study conducted by Latergramme found that a picture with even just one hashtag gets on average 12.6% more likes than one without. They are tools that are invaluable when it comes to growing your profile, so it's well worth knowing which hashtags are the most effective and when. Latergramme have broken down the most effective hasthags by category, so whether you're talking threads or treadmills, these will make your photo a win.
