Bookstagram and Tagging - Read & Gush March
Let's be honest all of you who are on Instagram... the new and ever-changing rules of the algorithm can be so disheartening... we are stuck with it though...
So my co-hosts and I decided to try something different this month as we post daily... we are sharing a new interactive tag every day where you answer questions or prompts and then literally tag other book lovers on your insta picture to join in. This can sometimes help get the algorithm to boost your photos and should help you get some comments on your photos as you will be tagging people all the time!
Two small notes here...
- Insta only lets you tag 20 people per photo... so be careful!
- try to tag different people each day so that you don't annoy people... because it can be annoying to be tagged every day by the same people...
But think of this challenge as a way to find new friends on booksta!
If you are confused, leave a comment on this post, or shoot me a message on Insta...
Oh and if you have done any of these tags recently, feel free to pick a different tag!
I hope you will join in... just follow me on Instagram and check it out! And please follow my lovely co-hosts - they are super sweet, you will love them, I promise!
