Hashtag Fundamentals

In the effort to ensure you get found by leveraging the hashtags, there is some fundamental information that may be crucial to master even though it’s easy to have a hashtag placed before a keyword.

Hashtags bring a disparity in your marketing tactic when utilized appropriately. Here are important tips to follow:

  • Shorten hashtags and keep them remarkable other than trying to use too many words in a single tag.
  • Don’t put too many words in a single hashtag. The platform you leverage determines how many hashtags you’re going to use, but 1-2 hashtags (in most cases) have greater influence than too many of them.
  • Utilizing specific (but detailed) hashtags leads to greater yields than general or wide ones.
  • Don’t use hashtags that are not common in an attempt to be unique from others. This will possibly do your marketing campaigns a lot of harm.
  • Aside from using hashtags to captivate members of your ideal audience, they’re also useful for researching the competition.
  • Don’t try using hashtags in almost all posts, but use them only when you feel they can help add some value to your content and are likely to encourage interaction and conversation.

Are hashtags the same for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram?

Yeah they all work in the same way. I know Instagram has a limit of 30 hashtags per post though so be aware of that. If you add more they will all be wiped off. Not sure about the limit with twitter and FB.
