6/12/12 Tuesday Training: Crafting a Hashtag
Posted Tuesday, June 12th, 2012 by Lindsay Dicks Twitter can be the key to effectively promoting your business through social media! With Twitter, you can host Tweet Chats, facilitate conversations to grow your business, get instant feedback from your clients and successfully make you the CELEBRITY of your niche market! Why Do You Need to Know How to Craft a Hashtag? A hashtag is significant word or series of characters preceded by the # symbol. Hashtags help categorize posts and can make it easier for other Twitter users to search for tweets. By creating your own hashtag, you can use it to drive conversations about your business, event or blog! How to Choose a Unique Hashtag: First, you need to make sure that whatever hashtag you choose isn’t already taken! You can search to see if a hashtag is taken on hashtag.org or twubs.com. Once you’ve decided on which hashtag you want, you need to register it. Registering your hashtag helps prevent other events or organizations from using your hashtag, that way you can have your “own” conversations to promote YOUR business. When crafting a unique hashtag I suggest making them short and easy to remember. You can always abbreviate Registering Your Hashtag: Once you’ve decided on a hashtag and researched to make sure it’s not already being used, it’s time to register it! This will give you ownership of the hashtag. I suggest going to http://twubs.com/ and registering Now, you have a hashtag to facilitate interaction between you and your followers to build relationships and promote your business, have fun with it and be creative! Host a Tweet Chat, encourage clients to use your hashtag at an event, have a contest—there are countless ways to promote your business using Twitter! Join the conversation and be the CELEBRITY of your field Related posts: |

 Thanks Celebrity Sites®! With your help we just got picked up on a worldwide site for our music buffet option. They even put it on the front page of their site as a “breakthrough”! Our site, art and design looks fantastic. Well done! We couldn’t do it without you!”

CNBC Contacted me because of Celebrity Sites®!
I just wanted to take a moment to say WOW! My last website took many years and many versions to never quite get what I wanted. In less than 30 days you guys designed and built a brand new website that I love and now, not even 60 days since it’s been live, I’m starting to get calls from television producers! Just last week I got a call from CNBC because they were searching for financial experts to feature on a new show they are launching and they found me thanks to my new website. This is incredible, thanks so much for the great experience. Anyone who isn’t taking advantage of your unique expertise of Celebrity Branding business people online is missing the boat in many ways!
