(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home1/c375526/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114As a modern author, you need to know a bit more about Twitter than the basics. Even if you don’t “tweet” often, you should understand how to utilize their signature symbol, the hashtag (#).<\/p>\n
Hashtags represent basically five main categories: emotions (#OhNoHeDidn’t), identifying a brand (#Rolex), recommending a product (#BestRead), finding like-minded people (#MemoirChat) and finding experts (#AskAgent).<\/p>\n
You should be using one to two hashtags per “tweet” (more than 3 just clutters the message and turns readers off). Try to include at least one “big” hashtag that will connect you with a larger audience.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the best hashtags an author can utilize to get his or her work out there in the public eye:<\/p>\n
