Here are a few helpful dos and don’ts when it comes to hashtagging: DO be consistent. The humble # has come a long way from just a simple number sign.
The word “hashtag” has even been added to the dictionary in recent years! So it’s no secret that a good understanding of this feature is vital for the online presence of any business. While Facebook was actually the first platform to launch this social media staple, they remain less popular than on sites like Instagram and Twitter that have incorporated them since the sites’ inception. You’ll mostly see it used on platforms like Twitter (since as early as 2007!) and Instagram, but Facebook is also trying to implement hashtags into their sites. It is predominately used for social awareness, business promotion, categorising content, product advertisement and as a motif for certain users. Anyone who uses social media has seen the “hashtag” (#).
