I know this list was largely created for Twitter, but a side note on the #romance for Insta – it’s been blocked for a while now. It “hides” new posts that use the hashtag and, at least for a while if not still now, posts using it at all were not being shown in people’s feeds. It’s been a tough spot for those of us who write romance.

Great (and useful) list though! Thank you!

Utilizing hashtags can be a very difficult tool; for anyone really, but yes, especially authors. Thanks for this article. It really helps level things out for me and as an author That is still learning, this will aid in my promotion with better usage of hashtags! Happy writing and reading everyone! And if I can, I’d like to add #WednesdayWriting to that list for I’ve found that to be active once used.

Hi Dave - great list! I'd like to add #MondayBlogs which I started in 2012 - NOT for book promotion, but for sharing blog posts on Mondays (just as the hashtag implies). Writers and bloggers can share any post, new or old, as long as It is not about 'buy my book!' and It is on a Monday. I retweet from the @MondayBlogs timeline. People can learn more by visiting that bio.I also created #BookMarketingChat several years ago - every Wednesday 6pm pst/9pm est (from my @BadRedheadMedia timeline). Writers can simply join by typing in that hashtag to follow along, ask questions, learn tips from the various experts who pop in.For people who are still confused about hashtags, Twitter has a great little section explaining hashtag basics https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/how-to-use-hashtags or they can Google articles. You did a great job explaining it!

In reply to Chris. I figured the sections in the article under the list titled "THE PURPOSE OF WRITER HASHTAGS + BENEFITS & BEST PRACTICES" and "Using Hashtags As A Writer Best Practices" and "WHERE YOU CAN USE HASHTAGS" covered that (sorry for the all caps, copied them straight from the article). If you need more information than that, you might need to look at more basic articles, videos or courses on your target social media so as to develop a stronger core fundamentals on the subject. Then this list will help give you more specifics.

All very interesting (I think) ¦ but it might help if you explain WHY we should use them and how they work.
How does a hashtag benefit us? ¦ How does it help potential readers find our books? ¦ Do posts we add a hashtag to automatically get sent to certain people? ¦ and if so, who?Basically ‘What is a hashtag?’ ¦ and what is it for? (in language for those over twelve please ¦ No jargon or technobollox).Some of us are relatively new to social media ¦ I only opened a Twitter a/c because I was told it was useful to authors to have one ¦ but it was several months before I found out how to post on it. I’ve occasionally put what seems an appropriate hashtag on tweets, but I do not know what it does, if anything. It was just suggested to me to do it.

Great! I shared this with my writing clients. You’ve included some terms I found new and will explore myself. Okay, I’m going back to work now … #AmEditing.

In reply to Imogen Clark. No, I'd definitely agree to that. My only statement on Social Media and limiting it, was not about hte limit on hashtags, but instead for authors to choose one or two, and really focus and be 'alive' on those, instead of trying to be every where. Hope that helps.
