How to Use Twitter Hashtags

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:43:10 +0000

As many of you know, I was very slow to get on the Twitter train. In fact, the train had already left the yard and was well into its journey when I needed to hijack a stage-coach, catch up to the train, and then hopped on…this was kind of like a Family Guy episode because I have absolutely no idea how I was able to find a working stagecoach and then how I knew how to drive it? But I digress…

Anyway…just yesterday I learned about using Hashtags with Twitter to make the keywords of your Tweets stand out. There are a couple of benefits to using hashtags as best I can determine:

1. To Gain More Targeted Twitter Followers: Just like you and I (now!), people want to follow and be followed by like-minded people. For network marketers, we want to be followed by others who are either already involved in network marketing or who are interested in getting involved. One of the best ways to gain followers is to follow…most people follow back. So, by following people who use network marketing related keywords in their tweets, we can be sure that we are not being followed by the person who tweets “I’m so bored…just hanging out” and can stand a chance of reaching our target audience…Someone who has a need or want for our product or business opportunity.

2. To Target Followers Who Are Interested In Your Product or Program: I think everyone will agree that it’s difficult to read all of the tweets from the people you follow from your main Twitter page. I use SocialOomph to track certain keywords that I’m interested in. I assume that there are other services that do this for you as well. If you know of others, please let me know. Anyway, the Hashtag will make that keyword stand out in the tweet and make it more easily found. When you find someone who is tweeting your keyword, that is a good person to follow…they share an interest.

To identify your keyword in Twitter using Hashtags, you simply type # before the word. For example: “I am writing a blog post right now on how to use #Hashtags with Twitter”. Hashtags is my keyword and the pound sign identifies it as such.

I know the mega-Twitter Tweeters already know about using Hashtags, but I also know that I wasn’t the only person to just learn about them! If this article can help a few use Twitter more effectively, I’m happy!

Twitter is a micro blogging service that has gained fame for allowing users to share updates within a 140 character limit. Twitter is a lot simpler when compared to other social network websites such as Facebook and My Space. Twitter is used by companies and businesses to distribute information to a wide range of consumers. Social media optimization is the marketing strategy companies are using to reach out to consumers through the activity on social networks. Twitter is topping the charts with all sorts of celebrities singing about the social network.

Chris Brown has a new hit single out called “Twitter Ruff” in which he acknowledges the social network which he uses regularly to reach out to his fans. In the chorus he sings, “I be going out, I’m a go getta’, I be feelin’ all the chicks that follow me like Twitter, follow me like Twitter, follow, follow me like Twitter, (and you’re on every word that I say) know what I’m about, colder than the winter, y’all ain’t messin’ wit’ me y’all just so beginners, follow me like Twitter, follow me like Twitter, follow me, follow me…” Rapper Chamillionaire has also voiced his appreciation for Twitter during interviews. Many celebrities are using Twitter to reach out and communicate with their fans. In the same way businesses are also reaching out to their consumers through social networks.

Mashable also has a top 5 list of videos from YouTube in which people have created and sung their own songs about Twitter. Some of these people are actually pretty talented! Pop sensation Miley Cyrus was a regular Twitterer until she recently decided to delete her account. In order to say bye to Twitter and all her fans she made a video of herself singing a rap song. Twitter plays an important role for social media optimization. Celebrities, businesses, and regular individuals use Twitter to communicate to a mass number of people. Twitter and Facebook are the two most popular social networks that social media optimization campaigns are being formed around.

In order to make social media optimization more effective people are creating a variety of tools to use with Twitter. Speaking of music, you can share that too on Twitter. Swg.fm is a website that allows you to share music in a tweet update. Once you sign in with your Twitter account you can choose a song by entering in the song name and artist information. It creates a link which you can post in your tweet. When your followers click on the link, they are directed to a page which allows them to listen and watch the music video for the song you tweeted about. Song artists and performers can easily share and distribute new releases and album previews to gather interest and a fan following.

Offshore SEO companies can guide businesses to effectively optimize their website through social networks such as Twitter. They will outline a social media optimization agenda and help you follow through. They will set up the necessary profiles for your business and distribute enough information and updates to your consumers through social networks. This will in turn increase the amount of traffic to your website and improve your rankings.
