If you do have a long caption in mind, consider what your audience is gaining from a long caption that could not be phrased in a sentence or two. If your post adds value to people\u2019s lives or is an interesting story, this could be a time to use a longer caption.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Have fun with emojis that seem relevant.

To keep your caption looking clean, we recommend adding some lines between your caption and hashtag groups. You can also try to integrate your hashtags straight into the caption.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid throwing a bunch of hashtags onto the end of the caption.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use camel case hashtags. Camel case is when you capitalize the first letter of each word in your hashtag (i.e. #<\/span><b>M<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ore<\/span><b>A<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t<\/span><b>M<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">o<\/span><b>W<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">est).\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing this is important for accessibility.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Profile grid:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your Instagram photo will live in your Instagram profile grid.
