A hashtag is a word or phrase prefixed with a # symbol on Twitter. When used in a tweet, it links that tweet to others containing the same hashtag. Hashtags help index topics and keywords, and clicking on a hashtagged word in a tweet displays other tweets using that hashtag. They are used to make information more accessible and bring together conversations around certain topics or events on social media. Adding relevant hashtags to tweets can help increase engagement from others interested in that topic.

2. Adding a # infront of an unbroken word or a
phrase is a hashtag. On Twitter, adding a “#” to
the beginning of an unbroken word or phrase
creates a hashtag. When you use a hashtag in a
Tweet, it becomes linked to all of the other
Tweets with the same phrase or word. A
hashtag—written with a # symbol—is used to
index keywords or topics on Twitter.
eg. #makeawish
#metoo

even just plain user power to centre
conversations about certain topics.

event, giving the audience a way to interact
with each other and discuss relevant topics
on social media and share their thoughts to
be seen by others.

7. Adding that topic’s hashtag will connect
your Tweet to the broader conversation. By
adding the hashtag, it increases the chance
someone interested in the event will engage
with your Tweet and discover your business.

8. For a product launch or contest, you’ll
want to retire the hashtag at the end of the
campaign. But use it as much as possible
(and consider promoting your Tweets) during
the campaign to build awareness. For a sale,
celebration, or other types of repeated
excitement — reusing the hashtag is fine, and
doing so will make it more interesting over
time.
