Hi Friend,

There's been an ongoing debate over how many hashtags you should put in your Instagram posts. The maximum allowed is 30, but is using all 30 really better? Well, the team at Later ran an experiment on 18M feed posts and shared the results on their blog. They get into the nuances of their findings, plus they put together a guide to help you find the right hashtags for your brand and analyze the success of your hashtag strategy. Check out their article in this week's "Nuggets."

Now here's this week's roundup of super useful tips, advice, and resources to help you #GetSocialSmarter.
