Using #Hashtags | Social Media 101
Tuesday Jul 30, 2019
Tuesday Jul 30, 2019
Learn the meaning behind the hashtag symbol (#), how to include it in your tweets, and why it's so important for engagement on Twitter, even for insurance agents.
The Agent Survival Guide Team’s 7 Rules for Using Hashtags:
Hashtags don’t have spaces between words or punctuation in words.
Hashtag phrases are usually CamelCase. The first letter of each word is capitalized to help you read phrases better, i.e. #InsuranceAgents not #insuranceagents.
Hashtags can occur anywhere in a tweet — at the beginning, the middle, or the end.
Hashtag words that become very popular on Twitter are often Trending Topics (which are highlighted in the sidebar of your Twitter feed).
If you tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag can find your tweet.
Don’t #spam #with #hashtags. Avoid over-tagging a single tweet. (The recommendation is no more than two to three hashtags per tweet.)
Use hashtags only on tweets relevant to the topic. So, don’t add #insurance to a tweet about a bad hair day.
