I’ve always been horrible at hashtagging (yeah I’m turning it into a verb).
There were always people who knew just the right hashtags to use, and the best instagrammers seemed to be using the same ones. It was like they were the cool kids and I was the band geek left behind on the bleachers. So the other day I decided to figure out just what these hashtags were all about and which ones were best suited for what kind of pictures.
I started getting a better at using them but was rubbish at remembering them all. So here’s my newfound secret – I created a notepad page on my phone with all the best hashtags organized into categories. Whenever I’m getting ready to post a picture, I first copy and paste all the hashtags I want to use onto the notepad, then copy and paste it into instagram when I’m ready. SO much time saved trying to remember what they all are!
I wanted to help you guys out and provide you a list of my categorized hashtags. Go ahead, open up a notepad page on your phone and copy them all down. It’s a great resource to use when posting those instagram pics!
Some belong in multiple categories, and some hashtags were a bit difficult to categorize so I just stuck ’em in where I thought they worked best.
Happy Instagramming!

LOVE this list. I’ll be pinning and passing it along to a few folks who were just asking me about this!
I totally do this, too! I have Notes pages with paragraphs of hashtags saved…
some for photos of my dog (#WillowtheWestie), some for travel photos (#kbintheuk) and some for my jewelry/craft/diy photos (#westcoastcreations).
I love your lists and I’ll definitely be adding some to my lists. Thanks!!!
Aaaahhhh, this is such a great list! Some of these I knew but a lot are new to me. I have been using the copy and paste method too and will be adding all of these to it. My new favorite hashtag is #idlehandscreate – it’s tiny and just me so far but it will be an empire before you know it. 😉
