Hashtags

Nature and outdoors hashtags that earn their place.

Split by how crowded each one is, which is most of what decides whether a tag can do anything for you.

Tag shapes

The tags that work in nature and outdoors have a shape.

Nature has the same problem as travel: the general tags are vast, visually beautiful and full of accounts reposting other people's photographs, so reach there brings an audience that follows scenery rather than a person. Naming the trail, the park or the range reaches the far smaller group planning to go there.

The trail, park or range

Named exactly. It reaches the far smaller group planning to go there rather than people who follow scenery.

The activity

Hiking, camping, trail running, wild swimming. People search for what they intend to do when they get there.

The season or the conditions

In winter, in the rain, with a dog. The practical searches are made by people who already have a date in mind.

The common mistake

Not naming the place. A specific location is the only tag in this topic that reaches somebody who might actually go.

Five for one post

A starting five for a nature and outdoors post.

One from the crowded end so the post is filed under the right subject, two from the middle where most of the finding happens, and two specific ones where a smaller account can be seen.
  • #natureBroad: files the post under the right subject
  • #hikingMiddle: where most of the finding happens
  • #naturephotographyMiddle: where most of the finding happens
  • #campingSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
  • #wildlifeSpecific: where a smaller account is seen

When tags will not help: A location tag on a fragile place can send more people than it can take. Think about the place before you tag it.

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.
