How To Use Instagram Hashtags To Gain Followers For Your Church | Ep. 033

Unlike Facebook, Instagram still allows you to leverage organic reach through the use of hashtags. Brady and Alex discuss how to best use them to your advantage.

 

February is the month of giveaways! All of these giveaways will be happening over on Instagram, so be sure to give Brady a follow - @BradyShearer - he will be sharing what the giveaways are, as well as how to participate throughout the month.
