This is extraordinarily useful for internet marketing. This also has practical uses. Let’s imagine a wedding example. It is the current trend these days for the bride and groom to create a hashtag for their wedding such as#smithjoneswedding. Now, anyone who takes photos and posts them with the text #smithjoneswedding, can catalogue these photos under that hashtag. If you were to click just the #smithjoneswedding hashtag, you would see all the photos that are catalogued under that hashtag.

By including several hashtags on a post, you are simultaneously storing that photo or status under all of the hashtags you entered. This method of expanding your audience works wonders. Why? Simply because of the tendency of Instagrammers (mostly) to click on hashtags and review many of the photos that are catalogued under it. When a user sees an incredible post, they are likely to follow that poster. Of course, the more likes, follows, shares, etc, the more popular your posted content becomes. See how it’s all working?
