Ain't no corned beef #hash
Hi fogeys you will see below our post on Hashtags. For those out there who do not know what they are the article will be a treat. As we are writers however we decided to have a go at trending two hashtags to bring readers and authors together #teamwriter and #teamreader. Once you know what a hashtag is, you will realise that it is a powerful way to connect people. To use a hashtag you simply search the tag and it should in theory help you to connect people together by finding people also using the tag. So for example you might see #teamfollowback #teamblueeyes #teamprettygirls etc etc. You get the general idea.
The idea is the # allows you to tag eachother and grow the # thus connecting people together who are interested in connecting. So if anyone is interested let us see if we can grow #teamwriter and #teamreader so we can find more like us.
Remember the whole idea is to connect on a genuine front. sure we are promoting work etc but we also love the human interaction and connection and first and formost that is what it is all about. We just cant get enough of twitter.
Declan and Belle also love to hear from people all over the world so happy to hear from you. In particular #shoutout to #SouthLondoners is that another possible tag. Who knew?
Just so you know it works,at least 10 new people follow us per day and that is over 100 per week and that is a low average without us doing anything at all. So more when we are
connecting with tweeters.
We would also like to thank Toby Neal who wrote the book Building an Author Platform that can launch Anything, who is an inspiration and who has piloted some wonderful ideas of how to use twitter.
Dont forget our books can be bought from the icons at the side of this post if you would like to check out our work.
