Daily hashtag cheat sheet

This handy chart is like a weekly summary of content ideas. Copy these daily hashtags for Instagram, Twitter and TikTok (or wherever your followers are) for easy reference.

Just remember: don’t use it all in one post! If you need more help, here’s a more in-depth look at how to best use hashtags.

Monday hashtags

#Monday

The #Monday hashtag is simple but cool.

There’s a reason it’s so popular: #Monday covers a wide range of content. The only caveat is that you should only use it for Monday posts.

Because it’s versatile, try pairing #Monday with a few other relevant hashtags to find your niche audience.

It’s worth noting that you can do this – a hashtag with the name of the day – for each day of the week to increase your post’s reach.

#MondayMotivation

Monday Motivation makes people work.

Use this hashtag for any upbeat, positive, or thought-provoking content. Instagram users often post transformational before and after photos. Or share your journey through life in a caption.

If you’re selling a product or service, try showing your audience how your offer can help motivate them #MondayMotivation.

You can use this hashtag to:

• highlight the milestones you or your business has achieved,
• new procedures you are starting, or
• inspiring content.

#MondayMood or #MondayFeels

Monday is the mood. And, fortunately, this hashtag can reflect any emotional state you choose.

You can pair it with a Monday motivation tag and your post will reflect the awesome potential of the week ahead. Or pair it with the Monday Blues tag and mourn the end of the weekend.

As a brand, this hashtag allows you to show your followers the emotional side of your business. People like to interact with other people, not with brands. Use this hashtag as an opportunity to show off the person behind the keyboard.

Be like Drake. Dive into your feelings.

Tuesday Hashtags

#TransformationTuesday

Did you miss #MondayMotivation? Don’t worry – try #TransformationTuesday instead!

This hashtag boasts a lot of personal transformations, especially in the field of fitness. But you can steal it for your own purposes.

Try highlighting your humble beginnings and note how far your brand has come. Or demonstrate how your product or service can change lives.

#TuesdayThoughts or #TopicTuesday

What’s on your mind? These Tuesday tags are often used by people who want to share their thoughts. They may focus on a particular topic or have more opinions.

Make sure you share tips that will add value to your subscribers’ channels. You want to avoid unintentionally reminding people of Facebook statuses in a soap box style.

#TravelTuesday

Share vacation photos, make your followers jealous, or inspire people to book a trip!

On #TravelTuesday, you can feel free to post photos from your last trip and remember the fun you had. Or, if you’re a travel company, this is a great hashtag for finding new clients.

You can post photos of people’s travels (find our user-generated content guide here) using them as feedback on your services. You can also simply post photos of your destination with a strong call to action.

Wednesday hashtags

#wine environment

Wine Wednesday celebrates grapes in liquid form. Wine lovers use this hashtag to share everything from cheap bottles to multi-million dollar vineyards.

If you’re into hospitality, viticulture, or just enjoy a glass of wine, this hashtag is for you. Celebrate your favorite bottle, share great #WineWednesday deals, or create excitement for new crops.

#WCW or #WomenCrushWednesday

The hashtag WCW or Women Crush Wednesday can be used to promote the women in your life. This “infatuation”is usually not romantic – you can use this hashtag to draw attention to any woman who inspires you.

The hashtag aspect of this hashtag is playful, so if your brand enjoys frivolity, use it to highlight women in your organization or industry.

#Humpback day

Do you know that office worker who wishes you a happy birthday every Wednesday? This is for them. #Humpday is an opportunity to celebrate the middle of the week or moan about how slowly it goes.

Content creators and brands can use this hashtag to celebrate the accomplishments of the week or look forward to the weekend. Some very specific accounts, such as camel advocates @camelcaravan_kenya, may use this hashtag to post on Instagram any day of the week.

Thursday hashtags

#TBT or #ThrowbackThursday

Throwback Thursday has long been a hashtag used for flashbacks. People use it to look back on their lives by posting old (and often unflattering) photos of themselves. It’s a light-hearted way of saying, “Look how far I’ve come.”

With this hashtag, companies can highlight their progress by posting old photos of products, logos, or teams.

#ThirstyThursday

Thirsty Thursday is the younger (by one day) brother of Wine Wednesday.

You can repurpose #ThirstyThursday for any liquid drink, making it an easy win for hospitality groups and packaged consumer product brands.

You can also use this hashtag if your organization or brand is doing something related — like hosting happy hour team picnics or juice cleansing.

#Thursday evening

Tag your post with #ThursdayNight for all posts on Thursday after dark.

You can use this tag for almost any type of content. For example, if your team is working late, celebrating a win, or creating hype before a new product launch on Friday, use this hashtag!

Friday hashtags

#Friyay, #FridayVibes or #TGIF

TGIF, Friyay and Friday vibes need no introduction. Anyone who has ever worked Monday through Friday knows how it’s done.

By using this hashtag, brands can enjoy the pure joy of Friday at 5pm. Bonus points for business owners who use this hashtag with self-deprecating humor.

#FridaysForFuture

#FridaysForFuture is a green activist movement led and organized by young people like Greta Thunberg.

This hashtag has specific applications, in particular the protection of the environment. Only use this tag if your post is about environmental activism.

Saturday hashtags

#SaturdayNight or #SaturdayVibes

Weekends – especially nights – aren’t necessarily the best time to post about engagement. But that doesn’t mean you should never post on weekends.

So, if you have a team building night or company party planned, broadcast it, repost your video and tag it #SaturdayNight.

#Caturday or #CaturdayMood

The Caturday hashtag appeared on 4chan and has a long history on the internet. But all you really need to know is that if you want to make your feline friend stand out, Saturday is the best day to do so. Just make sure you include #caturday for the scope.

Pet photos are always popular and Caturday offers the perfect opportunity to give your followers a glimpse into your personal life. Launch a campaign with your team’s pets by showcasing one every Saturday.

If the featured pet has a strong personality, highlight it with a soundtrack, as Seamus’ owner did in the video below.

sunday hashtags

#Sunday fun day

The Sunday Funday hashtag talks about what people do on Sundays. Brunch, going to the beach, biking, whatever you do for fun.

If you’re selling a product or service related to entertainment, group activities, or anything else, well, entertainment, then this hashtag is for you.

#SundayVibes or #SundayMood

The Sunday Vibes hashtag has a more relaxed attitude than Sunday Funday. Use #SundayVibes when you’re chilling, grooming, or lounging around the house.

If you represent a wellness brand, #SundayVibes is perfect for you. Share photos that show how your products or services can improve your followers’ Sunday.

For inspiration, here are some unusual holidays you can celebrate in your next social media posts.

#Sunday breakfast

Everyone loves the classic Sunday brunch! This may be the most important meal of the week.

This hashtag is great for hospitality groups, influencers, and chefs. But in fact, almost anyone who loves brunch can use it.
