Tag shapes
The tags that work in art have a shape.
The medium
Oil, linocut, ceramic. Somebody who wants a particular kind of object searches for the object rather than for art.
The subject
Portraits, landscapes, botanical. This is what a person looking for a thing to put on a wall actually types.
Commissions, said plainly
The tags naming what you sell reach a smaller and far more commercial audience than the ones naming what you are.
The common mistake
Using only the tags that other artists follow, then reading the resulting engagement as commercial interest.
Five for one post

When tags will not help: Tags rarely sell a piece that is shown without its size. Show it on a wall or in a hand so people can judge the scale.
In Synclify
Measure them on your own posts.
A saved block of tags never tells you which of them worked. Synclify reads how each tag did across your own posts and writes a set for each new post before it goes out.
Measured on your account's own results, never on a topic average.
How each tag did on your last 30 posts
Sample account- #homeworkout
- #kettlebellflow
- #fitnessmotivation
- #morningmobility
- #fitness
Next post's set keeps the three that found people and swaps the two that did not.
Other topics
All twenty topics, and how crowding decides what a tag can do.
Better hashtags measured, then written.
