Lately as you can see I’ve been on a mad Instagram kick, so I promised I would give you one of the really HOT hashtags that is trending right now.

In fact, I used this theme last week (it’s now Sunday, so I can officially say “last week”) and I found a really cool vintage pick to post, and I ended up getting a boatload of likes and follows that day.

YES, it’s #ThrowbackThursday on Instagram – arguably the most embraced weekday trend by social media enthusiasts around the world!

This is a wonderful day to post a pic of one of your old projects, those funny outfits and hairdo you wore back in the 80’s, or better yet, repost and share SOMEONE ELSE’S funny outfits and hairdo from the 80’s!

Don’t Forget to Give Proper Credit

Folks, please just remember to be kind and give the originator attribution when reposting, even though #ThrowbackThursday (or #TBT) encourages all Instagram users to post an old photo on Thursdays.

Such attribution is usually in the form of “Photo courtesy by @JaneDoe” within the caption, but don’t forget to add some great relevant hashtags to follow it.

Follow this convention, and the majority of the time you will receive a very warm comment from the source (who will likely now be following you) who will be Thanking You very kindly.

We asked some of the awesome members of our worldwide online community what they thought of this special type of hash tagging strategy, and here is what they had to say:

Good suggestions Kaju. I use Flashback Fridays and Soulful Sundays in one of my websites, but have not capitalized on them in instagram. Will do from now on. – Anonymous

Well Kaju I probably should post an old photo of me when I was young and hot.....tee hee I tended to like the high teased look and big eyes lined with liner, pert pink lips and huge earrings, like flowers. Shoes were pointy toed with kitten heels, stockings had a back seam. A cardy done up at the back was a trend with large necklaces of pearls to finish the look. The pleated skirts were a big thing too, just to the knee, nothing too short otherwise you were dubbed as "fast." I used to get around on a motorized scooter complete with a white imitation leather jacket and white crash hat. No drinking when one was riding that crazy cat of a bike. - Anonymous

Great suggestions, Kaju. This is all a bit new to me, I have to admit, but it sounds really fun to experiment with the hashtags. You can become very creative doing that - probably best in that pub with the super advice. – Anonymous

Besides enhancing my online business later, I have been wondering what it is I should do with my Instagram account in the meantime. (I am not a great Social Media communicator). Now I know what to do, at least as a start. – Anonymous

Short and sweet, right to the point. Good post. Maybe we need to work at becoming influencers more than worry about ranking. just a thought. – Anonymous

Hey Kaju, Thanks for the Post. You are a master at finding exciting trends and other related news items that you report on. Then it becomes the center of attention. Great job as usual. - Anonymous
