Even established bloggers use hashtags to boost those "likes" — they just write them in the comments section. After you post a photo with your chosen caption, repeatedly type one symbol — such as "." or "*" — for the first few lines (to ensure the comment stays hidden). Then, hashtag away, using popular ones like #currentlywearing, #thatsdarling, or #flashesofdelight along with your typical #ootd.
It's nice to have variety on your feed, so alternate between simple photos, boomerangs, and quotes to keep things interesting.
When someone new discovers your feed, they're not going to click on photos one by one. They'll likely scroll through your page first — which means you should be curating something visually appealing. Is it your color theme that draws them in? Do you keep things uniform with a white boarder? Is every third post a quote? It's definitely something to consider!
