Hashtag
A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by the # symbol, like #TravelTips. It’s used on social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc.) to categorize content and make it discoverable.
How it works
-
Grouping content: Clicking a hashtag shows all posts that use it.
-
Visibility: Using relevant hashtags helps more people find your post.
-
Trends & campaigns: Hashtags often highlight trending topics, events, or movements.
Tips for using hashtags effectively
-
Be specific: #ChocolateCake > #Dessert
-
Don’t overuse: 3–10 relevant hashtags usually work best.
-
Mix popular and niche hashtags to reach both wide and targeted audiences.
-
Keep it readable: Use capitalization for multi-word hashtags: #TravelTips, not #traveltips
💡 Fun fact: The hashtag started on Twitter in 2007 as a simple way to group posts by topic, and now it’s everywhere!
