How to Use Hash Tags on Twitter

I am officially on a quest to learn how to use Twitter effectively… and I’m going to share everything I learn here on the Make My Marketing Work blog.

Let’s talk about hash tags…

Hash tags look something like this: #marketing (that’s the hash tag for marketing).

When you put a hash tag on a tweet it becomes much easier to find for people searching on a particular topic.  Alex Mandossian uses #tss when he and his clients (and prospects) discuss his Teleseminar Secrets program on Twitter.

Here is a video from social media expert Mari Smith where she explains in detail how to use hash tags and how to track popular tags.

Do you have additional ideas on how to effectively use hash tags on Twitter to find conversations, streamline your Tweets and use Twitter effectively for personal or business use?  Please leave a comment!

P.S. As always… if you’re on Twitter, you can follow me here.
