36 5 POINTERS FOR MAKING A GOOD HASHTAG (ACCORDING THE GUYS FROM TWITTER) #SABINILA #HOWTO

37 1. Be obvious. In the digital age of speed, time is not a widely held resource #missworld #newcarsmell #walangpasok #beautifulhairnow #needtosave Use the name of your event, your brand, your proposition, your tagline #anggandako

38 2. Create a hashtag that people can respond to #neveragain #tomorrowiwill #mygreatloves #asksirchief They can fill in the blanks, continue the sentence, answer a question, ask a question,

39 3. Sound like your audience which means, listen. #yolo #ftw #anyare #fml Sometimes spelling rules can be broken. Use the words they re using #rakenroll #apir

40 4. Don t get carried away. Unless you re trying to be funny #ohmygodthissunsetissobeautiful #ilovemyfamilysomuchimsohappy #sinokumainngtinapayko You want to be shared and remembered, remember? #hindipoakobulag #discombobulating

41 5. Hashtags are meant to be spread, it s the age of media convergence Don t be afraid to use your other media efforts to support your hashtag
