Tuesday Tips: Use Hashtags

#hashtags are everywhere now.  If you want your social media content to be seen by new users, be sure to include pertinent hashtags.

Hashtags become clickable links on Twitter, Facebook and Google+, which allow users to click on them and see a plethora of other posts using the same hashtag.  This allows users to see new posts by new folks they don't follow in addition to posts by people they do follow.  Basically it's subject grouping for social media.

A great example is Kickstarter.  A lot of folks will use @Kickstarter to tag them and #kickstarter when they're talking about their social funding project.  This allows everyone to see, at a glance, all the posts about Kickstarter while posting it to the wall of Kickstarter too, who may share it.

Tuesday Tips are a series of tips released on Tuesday each week regarding a hint or tip to help you manage and market your Facebook presence better.  You can find all the Tuesday Tips by clicking on the Tuesday Tips tag below.
