So you can make your photos more popular

Like Twitter, just with pictures and videos - that's Instagram . On both platforms you provide your contributions with so-called hashtags by putting a "#" with no spaces before keywords. What does the tag bring? We'll clarify - and help make your Instagram posts more popular!

Instagram is the fastest and currently most popular way to share moments with your friends. The photo network was known for its typical retro-Polaroid optics. It's easy to do so: take a photo, put one of the many filters of the app over it, post picture, done!

Instagram also has followers who can inspire you for your profile. These become aware of you via hashtags. After all, the photo sharing platform has about 100 million users who upload 40 million images per day and distribute 8, 500 hearts (equivalent to the "likes" on Facebook ) per second.

You set the tags by adding a diamond to tags and adding them to your picture as a comment. Our tip: Instagram is international, so be sure to choose English terms. Popular hashtags include #selfie, the web expression for a self-portrait, or #ootd, short for "Outfit Of The Day". Via a search function you will find all posts with this hashtag in an overview - including yours!
