hash tags in twitter

do you know about hash tags in twitter?

A hash tag before a keyword will take you to a specific page on twitter for that keyword. May people search all the posts through keywords to find relavent content. If you use a hash tag (a hash tag is a number symbol #) with no spaces between it and the keyword that follows it, you would increase the pages your post is connected to, which will increase the visibility of your post to the right people.

If you choose to share an item on Etsy through Twitter, Etsy will automatically create a twitter post for your link based on the description. You can edit this post or publish it as it. Or you can create your own shortened links through:

http://bit.ly
http://tinyurl.com

What if you made a post and link read more like a sentence with injected keywords? For instance:

See my item item:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/67454359/poppy-love-lucite-lily-drop-earrings

If i share it on twitter, the generic twitter generated post is:

Poppy LOVE lucite lily drop earrings Bridge & by BridgeandBuckle http://etsy.me/eUW6ZH

The post I edited to include hash tags:

'Poppy' #LOVE #lucite lily #flower drop #earrings by Jamie Smedley exclisively for Bridge and Buckle on #ETSY http://etsy.me/eUW6ZH

Anytime you use a hash tag, the word following it is a link to a page with all the other posts that have used that tag. Now I have a posting that will be linked to Love, Lucite, Flower, Earrings and Etsy. Six new ways to see it. (six because people who follow me will see it automatically.

Have fun with this. If you are curious which tags to use, check out some of the link pages. However, don't use false or misleading keywords to gain traffic. this is baaaaaad <3

Hope you found this helpful.

Re: hash tags in twitter

Thanks for sharing! I usually use the # at the end of my tweets. and just add #etsy #handmade and what ever else I find relevant. I love the way you use it cause it doesn't use up as many words...I hate the word limits lol

Thanks again!!
