Pt.2

Hey animation creators! So, you've poured your heart and soul into your latest animation, right? But now, how do you make sure people actually see it? That's where popular animation hashtags come in! I used to just throw a few random ones on my posts, hoping for the best, but I quickly learned there's an art to it. Based on my own journey and what's worked wonders for my Lemon8 and other social media posts, here’s why diving into the right hashtags is a game-changer. They're like little signposts that guide people interested in animation straight to your amazing work. Think of it as joining a huge, global community where everyone shares a passion for motion! Beyond the basics like #animation and #anime, which are always good starting points, I’ve found that mixing it up really helps. For instance, if you're showcasing a fight scene, specific tags like #animefight or even #fightanimation can attract a more targeted audience. But don’t stop there! Here are some of my personal favorite categories and examples I use to boost my content: General & Broad Appeal: These are your evergreen tags. They get a lot of traffic but also a lot of competition. Still, essential for visibility! #animationart #animator #motiongraphics #2danimation #3danimation #animated Genre Specific: If your animation fits a niche, lean into it! #fantasyanimation #scifianimation #characteranimation #stopmotion (if applicable!) #cartoon #webtoon (if that’s your style) Process & Behind-the-Scenes: People love seeing how things are made. It adds a personal touch and builds connection. #animationprocess #animating #artprocess #digitalart #animationstudio (if you're part of one or aspiring!) Community & Engagement: These help you connect with fellow artists and enthusiast communities. #animationcommunity #artistsoftiktok (or whatever platform you're on) #animationmeme (like the one I mentioned before, if it fits!) I usually aim for a mix of broad and niche tags, typically around 10-15 per post, but always making sure they're super relevant. Don't just copy-paste! I also keep an eye on what other successful animators in my niche are using and check out trending hashtags on platforms like Lemon8’s explore page. Sometimes, even adding a tag like #animationtips or #animationinspiration can help if your post offers value in that way. The key is consistency and experimentation. What works for one animation might not work for another, so keep testing different combinations. It's truly amazing how a well-chosen set of popular animation hashtags can transform your post's reach and help you find your audience. Good luck, and can't wait to see your animations blow up!
