The Twitter platform created hashtags. The savvy author uses them. Everywhere. It’s the #1 way to spread your sage words, your images, your blogs, your news … in fact, just about anything that can be posted on social media.
The wise author has done their homework to discover what hashtags are relevant to the genre he or she writes within. They do it by checking out their comparables and competitors. They do it by checking out if there is any trending news that could relate to or connect with their book, topic and/or expertise.
And they do it by a search on Hashtagify.me. Hashtagify is an excellent tool to immediately access the use of a hashtag but also identifies other hashtags to use that would be appropriate.
There are also “special” hashtags that are used, including MotivationalMonday, TakeActionTuesday, WisdomWednesday, etc. If you aren’t using special day hashtags along with ones that are specific for you and your book, you are missing out on a significant book marketing and influencing opportunity.
Below are a series of hashtags that are used by millions on specific days of the week.
