How to construct a hashtag to promote yourshort沼篣lm – Hashtags 101

1. Keep hashtags short.

1. Some experts recommend hashtags be kept to six characters or less. That’s a nice goal, but

even a general hashtag like “#marketing” or “#short沼篣lm” would break six characters (which is

why “#mktg” is so popular). Don’t sacri沼篣ce the right hashtag for the shortest one.

2. Don’t use spaces in hashtags.

1. The one exception to this is on Tumblr, but anywhere else a hashtag with a space won’t work.

Your hashtag “#B2C tips” willregister only as “B2C.”

3. Don’t use special characters or punctuation

1. (&, %, !) in hashtags.These e䩲ࣽectively end the hashtag, and everything after it will be

recognized only as a tacked-on word. An example: “#Leslie’sDog” will read as “#Leslie.” Most

platforms do allow an under_score.

4. Make sure there is a blank space before the hashtag.

1. Neither “1#short沼篣lm” nor “good#short沼篣lm” will allow “#myshort沼篣lm” to function as a

hashtag.

5. Don’t use only numbers.

1. According to Twitter, if you write #1 or #123 the hashtag will not be hyperlinked and is

therefore not searchable. However, if you include letters following the numbers in the hashtag

(e.g. “#123short沼篣lm”), then the hashtag will work correctly. And you can use numbers in

hashtags that follow letters, like this: “#Short沼篣lmmaking101.”

6. Don’t use a hashtag within a hashtag.

1. “#Shor沼篣lm#1” won’t work; all that’s read as a hashtag is the 沼篣rst part: “#Short沼篣lm.”
