Video ~ Liz Speaks #Hashtag!
Do you use a hashtag generator app? Do you search for the most popular trending hashtag and use it as often as you can? You may very well be destroying the possibility anyone will ever see your post besides you and your fur baby, Rover. http://ow.ly/KkyT30ro29c
AskLizAboutHashtags – Excerpt from Liz’s Website:
Go from novice to ninja!
You’ll start seeing amazing results within an hour of implementing these simple tactics
Before I understood how to use hashtags, I was lucky to get 10 likes on any of my posts! After I started using them the right way, my followers increased, my likes increased, the number of clients I had increased — and cha-ching! More money in the bank!
Let me teach you how to do the same stop leaving money on the table!
I remember the days where I would go to a bookstore and take my time going through different books, flipping the pages just to smell that new-book smell. Unfortunately, I don’t do that as often anymore. On the upside, having my books on my phone or laptop makes packing for a trip a lot easier. I can’t give you that new-book smell, but I can give you a peek into a few pages of my book that will help you decide if I’m the right author/trainer for you. I hope you enjoy the excerpt I chose for you ….

SO WHAT’S A HASHTAG ANYWAY?
hash·tag
/’haSHtag/ noun
(on social media sites such as Twitter) a word or phrase preceded by a hash or pound sign (#) and used to identify messages on a specific topic.Wow. Pretty dry stuff.
While the definition above is true, it didn’t mention that hashtags are used to draw attention to or promote something. That when you click on them they respond like tiny little search engines, retrieving a page full of posts using that hashtag. Hashtags bring people together in a common cause or goal, who would have otherwise forever remained strangers….
Everyone’s heard of them but it’s pretty difficult to find anyone that doesn’t use them haphazardly at best and even harder to find anyone that uses them powerfully. You’re about to change all that.
Every single time you tweet, post on Instagram, Pinterest, or create a blog post, you have the option of adding a hashtag to attract the attention of a potential customer.
Whether you realize it or not, every time you use a hashtag, you are joining a community of others that have also used that same hashtag. So use them wisely and make sure your post belongs in that hashtag community. Get used to me saying you need to use as many pertinent hashtags as you can on each of your posts.
Dissecting a Hashtag – Class 101 – Each hashtag has its own gallery or feed. It’s similar to doing a google search, but much more specific. CLICK TO TWEET
