Hashtags

 

2. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT HASHTAGS BLOG POST - 30 POINTS

Create a new blog post by choosing 2 NEW questions (from last time), to answer from the list below.

1. What is a hashtag?

Hashtags are specific words or phrases people will put in the captions of the post to show a certain topic. I guess you could say that a hashtag is a thing that can help you further your reach of the post you just made. It's hard to really explain but it's just a simple word or phrase that helps show your post. There is no real example of this. The example would be below when I talk about the purpose of a hashtag. 

2. What is the purpose of a hashtag?

Think of it like this: you just took a picture of the new spiderman no way home poster and are about to watch it in theaters. You post the picture online and you put a description but nobody other than your friends and family sees your post. If you were to have used a hashtag like #Spiderman or #MarvelSpiderman or something that could be seen in a category your post would be put out more. Since it would be trending during the week of the movie's release you would probably get more views and likes on your post. This is the purpose it helps you that's really it, It gets your post out there for others to see.

The assignment focuses on hashtags and how to use them and how to understand them but I think the question is how can we use them to help us in our post on social media.
