Where to Use Days of the Week Hashtags
Days of the week hashtags are perfect for Instagram and Twitter. They get your posts and tweets in front of new followers!
You can test hashtags on Facebook. Some marketers have found they reduce your reach. If you try hashtags on FB, stick with one or two.
Hashtags work on Pinterest, but “days of the week” don’t work for Pins, which last for months, not minutes or hours.
Read the latest on Pinterest hashtags.
But they can wildly increase your reach on those 2 platforms that love hashtags!
Here’s how to use ’em for business.
How to Use Days of the Week Hashtags
1 | Before using hashtags, research them.
Hashtag meanings can change over time. And some hashtags don’t mean what you think they mean.
Some hashtags I decided not to include due to wild stuff being posted on them.
Just make sure you want your posts to live in that neighborhood – er, hashtag feed.
2 | Post early.
Depending on your time zone and your followers’ location, you may want to make your days of the week posts either early in the day, or perhaps the evening before.
Don’t post so early that it doesn’t make sense, but also don’t post #TGIF on Friday night in Pacific time, as most people will be seeing it on Saturday 🙂
3 | Save time.
You don’t always have to produce the content yourself to participate in these fun hashtag days.
Search the hashtag, find a post you like, and retweet, share, or re-gram.
Plan ahead though. Here’s how to repost on Instagram and keep it legal.
4 | Make a note.
For Instagram, keep a note on your phone with groups of hashtags that you can copy and paste quickly.
5 | How many hashtags?
Use no more than 3 hashtags on Twitter, and up to 30 on Instagram. Yes, I use that many. They work!
Monday Hashtag Ideas
Monday rocks the hashtags!
Choose one or more that suits your business if you need Instagram post ideas for Monday.

I have been using hashtags on certain days of the week and they have been very beneficial in the past, but I think that I have to work more on figuring out what the best time to post would be for my time zone like you mentioned.
Thanks for this post! It was really helpful!
joseph sasso says
Lousie, so ive entered a food competition, but most votes win. how do you convert likes into votes? how do you share with people who like to vote?
Louise Myers says
My guess is very few people will vote unless they already care about you. Good luck!

What about #wordlessWednesday? ?

Sure! Especially if you find it’s bringing you new views or likes. I feel it’s a bit generic since the images really run the gamut.
