Hashtags

I first noticed the use of hash tags on Twitter as a way of making it easier for people to search and find, follow, and contribute to a conversational topic.

As we now know the use of a hashtag followed by a word has spread to the majority of social media platforms, just to clarify the symbol that is used is: “#”

I thought I'd take you through a quick refresher as I have seen a few posts about twitter an Pinterest of late so I thought it wouldn't hurt to type something up especially for new members.

Hi

They was to me for years until I started wealthy affiliate and realised how useful they are, I guess no one explained them to me until I joined up.

Glad you liked it!

Best wishes

Thank you for this, can one use hashtags on blog posts as part of the title?

You can but will it be relevant to your brand?

Are you also aware that when you use a hashtag you are not supposed to use spaces so using it in a title will look odd to say the least.

Your choice Anne

Enjoy your Friday.

Hi Jennifer

I’m glad I wrote it now, it’s always best to do a minimum of 3 for Facebook and some suggest a minimum of 4 for Pinterest if you use that as well.

Regards
