measuring engagement

For this task i was asked to keep an eye on my account that i have created so then i will be able to see how much attention it was bringing. I found that i got a lot more followers when i started to add # (hashtags) to them this brought a wider audience to my profile and the pictures that i have taken. I was getting several likes on each image that i uploaded i was getting between 1 and 10 likes on each image over the week that is more than i thought i would get.
