Why should you switch up your hashtags for Halloween?

Why do I need to switch up hashtags for Halloween or fall? Can’t I just use my regular ones?

You should regularly switch up and update your hashtags, if you don’t already do that.

The more specific you are to your content, the better your posts will do.

Taking advantage of trends, seasons and holidays is a smart move because it can really increase your reach and discoverability.

So if you’re planning on posting fall or Halloween specific hashtags, then you should absolutely switch up your hashtags to reflect that.

This will help you bring in a new audience that is interested in that content.

Do hashtags actually work?

Yes, hashtags work to get your posts more visibility and get discovered on Instagram.

TIP: Instagram has recently announced that hashtags work best when used in the caption of the post, rather than the first comment. So aim to post all of your hashtags within your caption.

Up until recently it was not clear whether this made a difference, but this is now the official guideline from Instagram.

Hashtags are really the best way to grow your account when you are just starting out and you don’t yet get your posts recommended on the Explore page, for example. This is aside from reels that have their own algorithm.

The key here is to:

Use hashtags that are truly relevant to your posts.
Use the right size of hashtags.

If you’re unsure on how to pick the right size of hashtags that will work to help you grow, then keep on reading.

How to know what size hashtags you should use

Picking the right size of hashtags can be tricky. This will depend on the size of your account as well and if you’re in a beginning growing phase or an already established phase.

However, in general it is best to aim for the hashtags with a lower competition.

If you go for super saturated hashtags, then it is highly likely that your post will just get lost in the millions of other posts under that hashtag. Which means your post won’t get a high reach or engagement.

This is why using hashtags that are in the millions will not be a good strategy for your growth. Those overly saturated hashtags will not help your posts get seen. So if you see hashtags that are 1 million posts under them (or more), I highly encourage you to skip them and go for smaller ones.

There is no specific magical number when it comes to hashtags size.

However, what I have found to work best for me and for my students is to use hashtags between 10k and 100k in size.

When your account is starting to grow and pick up some traction, then you can start aiming for higher sized hashtags (over 100k size).

But even now on my Instagram account, I never go for hashtags that are in the millions.

Let’s dive into the list of hashtags ideas for you to use around Halloween 2022.

The list below is created with the previous tips in mind. So most of the hashtags on this list are appropriately sized for smaller accounts who are trying to grow.

I aimed to pick mostly hashtags that are not in the millions of posts, so that these give you the best chance to get discovered during this fall and Halloween season.

Halloween Hashtags for lifestyle

These hashtags are best used for general lifestyle photos that you will be posting this Halloween season, such as movie nights, pumpkin picking, fun activities you do for Halloween and just general inspiration for the season.

How to stay consistent on Instagram

Creating quality content on Instagram takes a lot of time and effort. Which is why it can be tricky to stay consistent on the platform all the time.

So what can you do to stay organised and be more consistent?

Make a plan, create a content calendar, organise your weeks in advance and batch your content.

It might sound overwhelming, but you can definitely stay consistent with your content without burning out if you create a plan ahead of time.

If you need help planning your content ahead of time, have a look at this post on how to stay organised as a blogger or influencer.

Also, if you need help with content ideas, then this social media content calendar for 2022 will give you some inspiration for content ideas for each month of the year.

This content calendar contains all the social media holidays and key marketing dates that you should know in order to create content around these holidays that are relevant to you and your mission online.

How to check which hashtags are working for you

Have you been using hashtags, but feel like some of them are just not doing you any favours?

I know I wished I could know exactly which hashtags are actually bringing me in new followers and engagement, so that I could know which ones to weed out and which ones to keep.

You probably already know that you should switch up your hashtags once in a while, make them really relevant to the content you are posting and making sure they are the right size to keep your account growing.

However, sometimes you switch up your hashtags and accidentally remove the hashtags that were already working for you.

So what should you do then?

Read here how to find the hashtags that are working for you and the ones that aren’t, so that you can switch them up without removing what’s working.

I used that method to find my best hashtags and to increase the reach on my posts easily.

How to edit your Halloween Instagram photos

If you need help editing your Halloween photos to really make them stand out for Instagram, there are a few things you can do to make them look more aesthetically pleasing.

Because even though Instagram has announced it is no longer just a photo sharing app, it’s obvious that aesthetics are still important on the platform.

Good quality photos that are edited to look more aesthetic will help your account grow a lot faster.

If you need help editing your photos, check out my free Bright Minimal Lightroom preset and my free Bright Moody Lightroom preset. These are both perfect for your Halloween photos.

If you have no idea what presets are, they are a set of photo editing settings that are ready to apply to any photo in just one click.

You basically download these free presets, add them to the Lightroom app on your phone and then you can just add the presets to any photo in one click.

I love using presets myself because they make my job of editing photos so much easier and faster.

I simply add the preset I want to my photo and then make any small adjustments if needed, such as changing up the brightness if the exposure is making them too bright or too dark.

Presets are really easy to use and I just love them so much, which is why I have decided to share these free ones with you, in addition to the ones I sell in my Etsy shop.
