Tag shapes
The tags that work in books have a shape.
The genre
Where a reader looking for their next book actually looks. It works closer to a subreddit than to a label.
The specific book or author
Somebody who has just finished a book searches for it to work out what to read next.
The community tags
#bookstagram has conventions rather than being a generic label, and posts that follow them do better inside it.
The common mistake
Tagging that you read rather than what you read. The genre tag is where a reader looking for their next book actually looks.
Five for one post
A starting five for a books post.

- 5#amreadingSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
When tags will not help: Tags cannot help a review that does not name the book and the author in the image. Readers search the title.
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.
