For example, when you see @dnescestujem, you immediately realize that it is a travel profile. The problem arises if you want to change your focus after years, like Cestology, which recently decided that it no longer wants to be Cestology, but Christopher Paleta. Connections to a specific place are also problematic, I can think of @Terezainoslo, who is now in Prague.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_real_name\"><\/span>Your real name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>A far easier option is your real name if your profile is about you or is corporate.

You better put it in Stories.

This is especially true for corporate profiles.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The best performing posts, according to a Social Insider study last year, were less than 10 words. <\/strong>However, this is an international study and the posts are in English, so<strong> take this information with a grain of salt<\/strong>. Something different may work for each profile. So rather than counting words, spend your time writing quality and valuable posts that people will enjoy. And experiment.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Why_and_how_to_use_hashtags\"><\/span>11) Why and how to use hashtags?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Instagram uses hashtags (crosses before a word, such as #travel, #vacation, etc.) <strong>to categorise posts<\/strong>. That&#8217;s why when you search for #sunset or #sunset, you get photos of users with sunsets. If you add this hashtag to your photo, users can use it to find your photo.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, people can now &#8220;follow&#8221; hashtags, so it&#8217;s possible that <strong>by choosing the right hashtags, your photos can appear to users directly in their feed<\/strong> (the main board where photos from users you follow appear).  <\/p>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re new to hashtags, you should know that they can&#8217;t be made with periods (.), symbols (!?) or spaces. Conversely, they may contain smileys.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Hashtags can be the key to not only getting your first followers, but also the so-called &#8220;hashtags&#8221;. &#8220;power likes&#8221; (more below) and you&#8217;ve been noticed by more influential accounts. Choosing the right hashtags is therefore crucial.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><em>Tip: Whenever we develop a strategy for a client, we also work on relevant hashtags, which is why we&#8217;ve already managed to reach an astonishing 10,000 views with the first posts on a brand new account.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_write_a_hashtag_On_Windows_and_Macbook\"><\/span>How to write a # hashtag? On Windows and Macbook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>The easiest way is to use the <strong>right Alt<\/strong> key, or <a href=\"https:\/\/znakynaklavesnici.cz\/alt-altgr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n  <strong>Alt Gr<\/strong>\n<\/a>. Alt can be found to the right of the spacebar button. Press and hold it, and press the X key while you do so.  <\/p>\n\n<p>On a Macbook, the #hashtag is<strong> written by holding down the right option key and pressing the number three. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_How_to_choose_hashtags\"><\/span>12) How to choose hashtags?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Some hashtags are so popular that you can find millions of photos under them, for example, <strong>users have already posted 467,757,079 posts under #travel<\/strong>. Therefore, it is not worth using such a hashtag at all, because photos are added there so quickly that your post will get stuck.  <\/p>\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no point in making up your own hashtags like #jdurybarit, which you won&#8217;t find a single post under. People don&#8217;t use or follow that hashtag.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>For starters, I recommend choosing hashtags that have 10-100 thousand photos.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_search_for_relevant_hashtags\"><\/span>How to search for relevant hashtags?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>There are various tools for this, but ultimately the best one is already on your mobile phone. Put a hashtag with your focus (in Czech) in your instagram search. If you are into travel, it will be &#8220;travel&#8221;. Instagram will show you similar hashtags &#8220;related hashtags&#8221;, and <strong>like this, go through the various hashtags one by one until you&#8217;ve collected 9-15 hashtags. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jak_hledat_hashtagy-2048x1125-1.jpg\" alt=\"Use the whisperer directly from Instagram\" class=\"wp-image-56069\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use the whisperer directly from Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>For hashtags, don&#8217;t just look at the number of posts posted, but also what posts are posted underneath them.

It&#8217;s true that hashtags help your organic (unpaid) reach, and they can make you discoverable to other users.  <\/p>\n\n<p>But some claim the 30 hashtags look &#8220;spammy&#8221; and link <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smartinsights.com\/social-media-marketing\/instagram-marketing\/guide-to-creating-the-best-instagram-post-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n  <strong>to studies that have confirmed <\/strong>\n<\/a>that too many hashtags can reduce engagement. <strong>The most common &#8220;safe&#8221; number they talk about is 11 hashtags, but some say you can use 2-8 hashtags in the caption and another 4-5 in the comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>I recommend testing and testing and eventually you will see what works best for you.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Tip: It doesn&#8217;t matter if you put hashtags directly in the photo caption or as a comment under your photo.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_What_to_do_with_emoticons_or_why_use_emojis\"><\/span>14) What to do with emoticons or why use emojis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>To use or not to use emojis? Although studies vary on how much using emojis increases engagement, the conclusion is always the same: Use them. And the more the better.  <strong>According to the latest data from Social Insider, posts with 25 emojis perform best.  <\/strong>Honestly, I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve ever managed to get that many smileys in one post, or if I&#8217;ve ever seen a post with that many smileys.  <\/p>\n\n<p>An older study from quintly in 2017 claims<strong> it can increase engagement by up to 15%, a more recent study from Social Insider in the second half of 2019 showed that photos with emojis in the caption have 26% higher engagement on average, and <\/strong>the difference is even more dramatic for videos. Videos with emojis in the description have 70% higher engagement than videos without emojis. Despite this, 50% of users don&#8217;t use emojis, so why not include them?  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_English_or_Czech_%E2%80%93_or_why_do_so_many_people_make_the_mistake\"><\/span>15) English or Czech &#8211; or why do so many people make the mistake?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>&#8220;I wrote my first post in Czech and it got the best response ever,&#8221; my friend reported to me, and I wondered if she had been listening to me for the last three years.

This is one of the reasons why Instagram currently supports Reels more than other types of content. Initially, the range was only 15 seconds, then it was increased to 30 seconds and eventually to 60 seconds, and in May, Instagram started testing 90-second Reels with select users. Organically, you can achieve a much higher reach with them than with any other format on Instagram<\/p>\n\n<p>Reels videos <strong>have a maximum size of 4GB<\/strong> and a<strong> maximum length of 60 seconds<\/strong> (unless you&#8217;re one of the select group of people for whom Instagram is testing a longer format).  <\/p>\n\n<p>9 out of 10 Instagram users watch videos weekly and 50% of users use Explore monthly.  <strong>Reels has become the fastest growing format in the world.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Instagram Reels also have the highest engagement rate, so it&#8217;s worth investing in them.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_your_first_followers\"><\/span>How to get your first followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>And now we&#8217;re finally at the chapter you&#8217;ve all been waiting for.

I&#8217;m not going to take any more time.<\/p>\n\n<p>The biggest evil that a successful profile cannot do without is time. Your invested time.  <strong>All those who will invent some shortcuts, try to find bots, programs and apps to like, follow and &#8220;do God knows what&#8221; will end up with either a block from Instagram, fake or inactive followers and an Instagram that will be useless.<\/strong>  I won&#8217;t explain the Instagram algorithm here, but keep in mind what every social network wants: for you to spend time and be active.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Follow_others\"><\/span>17) Follow others  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>To get your first followers, you need to follow others, to create your own community of people.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Find accounts that have 10,000 or more followers and are thematically similar to your account. Look who gave them the last follow. From these people, choose the people you will follow.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Choose people who have a profile picture of themselves, never follow people without a profile picture, here is according to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/brandongaille.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n  <strong>Brandon Gaile<\/strong>\n<\/a> less likely to give you a follow back.

The company will offer you things for 10 000 CZK, but in the contract you will get a condition that you will write 8 articles for them, 20-30 photos, list them as a sponsor everywhere and share everything they tell you.  <strong>Such cooperation certainly makes no sense.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_The_product_is_completely_out_of_your_focus\"><\/span>B) The product is completely out of your focus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>When a traveller promotes a washing machine, it&#8217;s a bit strange, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"C_Productbrand_you_dont_like\"><\/span>C) Product\/brand you don&#8217;t like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing worse than promoting a product or brand that you don&#8217;t like and doesn&#8217;t suit you.  <strong>Always reserve the right to return a product and not review it, same for services.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"24_How_to_use_shoutouts\"><\/span>24) How to use shoutouts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Shoutouts or mentions of other users and brands are a great way to gain more followers. It&#8217; <strong>s common abroad to buy a shoutout from an influencer, but I haven&#8217;t come across it<\/strong> here. But you don&#8217;t have to do anything like that to get a shoutout.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Set aside a day of the week to share accounts worth following with your followers in stories, it&#8217;s only a matter of time before one of those accounts pays you back. Reciprocity works very well on social media.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"25_Plan_and_evaluate\"><\/span>25) Plan and<g class=\"gr_ gr_29 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling\" id=\"29\" data-gr-id=\"29\"> <\/g>evaluate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t do Instagram without planning. <strong>For personal accounts, I recommend at least using apps like Preview or Buffer (free for one account), where you can schedule posts ahead of time and see how each photo looks next to each other.<\/strong> Anyone who is serious about Instagram should have a<a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/publikacni-plan\/\"> publishing plan. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n<p>In a company, Instagram shouldn&#8217;t be a lonely channel where posts are invented from day to day, but should <strong>be a solid part of a marketing strategy with clear and predetermined goals<\/strong>. Posts should be consistent with other online and offline marketing activities, and should match visually and in content.  <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_How_we_do_it\"><\/span><strong>Tip: How we do it<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark><strong>We develop the company&#8217;s marketing strategy into a social media strategy, where we set clear objectives<\/strong><\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark><strong>We will create a thematic plan for each month of the following year<\/strong><\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark><strong>Create subtopics for each week<\/strong><\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark><strong>Contributions are always created 14 days &#8211; 1 month in advance (by appointment)<\/strong><\/mark><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example\"><\/span>Example: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>January:  <\/strong><br\/>  Topic: Almonds<br\/>  Subtopics of each week:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Week: almond Benefits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Week: almond milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This week: almond butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Week: savoury recipes from almonds<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1712\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/strategicky_plan_instagram_priklad_ochutnejorech.png\" alt=\"Example of a content plan for January that focused on almonds\" class=\"wp-image-56074\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Example of the publication plan for January, which focused on almonds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaluating\"><\/span>Evaluating  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>While we want to build a community of followers, the number of followers is not a telling metric for us at all.
