social media world wide calm where we handle all your social media marketing for you so you can generate lots of leads and sales without having to do all the legwork today I want to teach you all about hashtags what they are and how to use them effectively a hashtag is simply a word or phrase preceded by a hash sign hashtags began on Twitter but are now being used on other social media platforms such as Facebook and Google+and  hashtags enable you to categorize the posts or tweets you publish it also enables you to identify all the content that has been published on social media on a specific topic

 

 

for example the restaurant chain TGI Fridays were running bartending championships every time they mentioned the event on social media they would add the hashtag hashtag TGI FW BC that stands for TGI Fridays world bartending championship London Fashion Week also created a hashtag for their event which was hashtag  lfw that stands for London Fashion Week so how can you create your own hashtag for your business or brand or event to create.

 

 

One you simply put the hash symbol before your word a group of words ensure it's not already been used by other people to categorize other topics go on Twitter and type in the hash tag you want to use in the search box and see if it's already being used you want to keep your hashtag pretty short and easy to spell too if you can't see any tweets which include the hash tag you wish to create then you've just created your own hashtag it's as easy as that if your hashtag contains multiple words group them together as you do know what you have any spaces in your hash tag

 

we can include numbers in your hash tag but no punctuation marks or special characters like asterisks if you use multiple words in your hash tag I recommend you capitalize the first letter of each word for example if your hash tag is double your cash flow make sure each word starts with a capital letter so how do you actually use hash tags hash tags can be added anywhere within your post or tweet at the start of it middle or end of it sometimes

 

 hash tags can also be included within a sentence for example you can say I might be hash tag lf wand really enjoying the show so how many hash tags can include in every post or tweet it's currently considered acceptable to add one as long as it's relevant to what you' rewriting to hashtags are accepted as well but three is the absolute maximum and where can you find what hashtag is being used for specific topic that's very easy to find out which hashtags are currently being used for specific topics simply go to write tag com type in the search box your keyword and right tag com will tell you what hashtags are currently being used on social media what posts are published on this topic
