─── HOW TO USE THESE HASHTAGS ───

Strategy: Use a mix from each tier (total 20-30 hashtags)

Placement options:
• Option A: Add all hashtags at the end of your caption
• Option B: Post hashtags in the first comment (looks cleaner)
• Option C: Mix some in the caption, rest in first comment

Rotation: Don't use the exact same set every time — rotate 5-10 hashtags between giveaways to avoid Instagram's spam filter.

Research: Before posting, check each hashtag's volume. Aim for a mix:
• 30% high volume (1M+ posts)
• 40% medium volume (100K-1M posts)
• 30% low/niche volume (<100K posts)

This "hashtag ladder" strategy gives you the best chance of ranking in both popular and niche searches.
