I quickly learned that if you want to get more exposure for your pics & grow your fitness brand, you need the right Instagram hashtags!!

It's the BEST way to get more likes, followers & comments.

But don’t take my word for it. It was proven in Dan Zarella’s Instagram study.

You can get these same results... I promise!

It will help you leverage hashtags WITHOUT looking like a hashtag spammer!

Most people make the mistake of adding all their hashtags to the description of their photo.

Don't do it!!

Instead, just leave a comment with the hashtags AFTER you’ve posted the photo.

Here’s the process.

  1. Upload your photo, add your description & post it
  2. Click comment & add a comment with all your hashtags

Like this:

Yes, it’s that simple!

Your hashtags will look natural rather than looking like you’re trying to gain attention.
