    I've recently started to engage more with social media in an attempt to drum up business and I fucking hate myself for it.

    sitting in my armchair on my phone, trying to think of hashtags to ascribe to shitty little images nobody's going to look at. Everybody's looking at some spanner in a too big shell suit or an inexplicably famous person's breakfast. But I've now spent so long on this that it would be a criminal waste of the dwindling hours I have left not to see it through to some kind of conclusion. 50 followers, for instance.

    • hashtags only work if people search for that term right? In Instagram, search for #design. 10000000 results. great.shapesalad
    • it's a snowball effect shape, if people engage with early posts then you rise up, everything internet is about good content at the end of the day, hash tags arefadein11
    • just a cool.fadein11
    • hashtags are so effective on Instagram, always think of combinations as well, niche and general.fadein11
    • cool = toolfadein11
    • Insta is all about the influencer (yes I hate that term). Make/do something cool and piggyback off the big hitters, only way in early daysfadein11
    • yeah, that's the bit I hate. 'influencer' is instagram for total cuntFax_Benson
    • my apologies, on a train and should have read that through properly as nothing was sending... hash tags are effective but early on not the best way of gettingfadein11
    • serious followers.fadein11
    • ignore the word influencer... just think popular person on instagram.fadein11

    • True Fact: 98% of Instragram viewing takes place while a user is sat on the loo having a dump. (data source: me) #smellygramshapesalad
    • it's the only social media platfrom I don't hate tbh, it's all about who you follow though as is all of them and life.fadein11
    • cheers fadeFax_Benson
    • I am no expert but it's been so effective for 2 businesses we run, but it is a slow burner until you piggyback off others. Again like life I guess.fadein11
