Good Morning Everyone! Welcome to Mug Monday! I’m Emily Dugal, Digital Marketing Manager at RE/MAX Leading Edge! If you’ve seen Mug Monday welcome back and if it’s your first time I’m excited to share my myriad of mugs and tips with you! This weeks mug is You Can Do Anything Mug given to me by one of our agents.

In most of my vlogs I focus on Facebook because many of our agents are still working on building their presence and skills there. However more and more of our agents are exploring the world of Instagram as well. On Instagram you don’t have friends you have followers. And just because you follow them doesn’t mean they follow you and vice versa. Hashtags which originated on Twitter also play a very prominent roll on Instagram much more though than on Facebook. A hashtag which is a word or phrase preceded by what is known as the hash or pound sign (#) and is used to identify messages on social media on a specific topic. A few weeks ago Instagram rolled out a new feature where you can follow a hashtag. Following a hashtag would make it so that popular posts with the hashtags you follow will appear in your feed. You can follow a hashtag by searching for a hashtag and then selecting “Follow” on the screen that displays posts with that hashtag. Some good hashtags to follow in regards to your business are #RealEstate, #TownNameRealEstate the #of the towns you service so on and so forth. Based on your interests or expertise some other good examples of hashtags you could follow might be  #Downsizing, #InteriorDesign #HomeStaging, #BuyingAHome #NewlyWeds #EmptyNesters, #HousingReports, #LuxuryRealEstate... remember no punctuation and no spaces.
