The best hashtags for writers: these are the 34 best hashtags for writers and authors on Instagram and Twitter!
One of my best friends has an amazing pottery business, and she was telling me the other day how she wants to start making more money from her side hustle. We got to talking about Instagram and how we are both trying to take less crappy pictures. (As you can see here, I am having middling success. It’s very meh.)
Anyway, my friend was saying how it was hard for people to find her, and she didn’t find that commenting on other people’s pottery pieces was helping that much.
“What hashtags have you been using?”
“Um, I guess I haven’t.”
Bingo.
As soon as she did some research about the best hashtags for the pottery community, she started doubling and even tripling how many likes and comments she was getting on her posts. The same is true for any niche–once you know the best hashtags for writers, a whole world of potential new friends opens up.
The best hashtags for writers: why do they matter?
Hashtags are the connecting links between you and the other people who also care about things like #pottery or #bookstagram. Without them, your post is floating in space, undiscoverable by anyone. With them, your post is tacked onto a giant bulletin board filled with other similar posts, discoverable by everyone who loves that thing, too.
Nearly all of my authors—who are savvy, successful business owners and bloggers—rely on the power of hashtags to build their Instagram followings.
So if you’re also looking to find like-minded people on Instagram and tap into the community of writers and readers on Instagram (and maybe even sell some books?), here are the best hashtags for writers.
