Whether it’s a Monday or a Thursday and you’re on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram you can hashtag your way through the week to keep your social media account fresh, relevant and engaging by jumping on the trends that relevant people are talking about.
A hashtag is essentially a way for social media users to connect their social media post to a relevant conversation. By placing a ‘#’ in front of the word that is trending, a user connects their post to that conversation. By clicking on the hashtag a user can also view all the conversations taking place which include a specific hashtag, in real time.
Hashtags can be used on a whole host of topics and are commonly used to talk about breaking news based on events e.g. #Oscars but did you know that there’s now multiple hashtags for every day of the week? If you use a hashtag in your social media post anyone following that hashtag can view it, they don’t have to be following you.
