HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
Introduction
I never forget the day I did my first hashtag. I almost didn't know what I was
doing and it was quite crazy how that day let sudden increase in traffic. I
am talking about thousands of visitors per day! Hey there, my name is Naz.
Something you might see a lot of people do is hashtag on the internet. In
fact when I first launched my website I am receiving no traffic and I didn't
know what to do…
Then I started doing hashtags on my social media post without even noting
or thinking that it can drive traffic. One day as I checked my traffic stats for
my site, I was confused by where all the traffic are coming from. Then I
reverse engineered it and realized that it all came from my hashtags! I went
back to the lab and kept studying about hashtags and what makes it so
effective.
As I learn and apply them, I got more and more results. That's what this
book is all about. I'm going to share with you what I have learned without
you wasting all the time that I have wasted. You might not have thought
about what a hashtag is, or how you might be able to use them to earn
money. Let’s jump right into it.

What is a Hashtag?
Simply put, a hashtag is a single word or un-spaced phrase preceded by
the hash sign or number symbol: #. They are a form of metatag widely
used on Twitter and other social media sites. They are a convenient way of
labeling similar content into groups. Effective hashtags allow users to find
content about a particular topic.
Twitter first started using hashtags in 2007, and over the years their use
has become standard, on Twitters as well as on other social media and
microblogging sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Google+ and others.
Twitter now hyperlinks all hashtags for easier searching, and they also list
Trending Topics on their home page to track hashtags that are growing in
popularity.

The benefits of using hashtags

Chapter 1 – Benefits of Hashtags
Understanding hashtags is the first step to making money with them. The
next step is talking about the benefits of using hashtags: why do they
matter, and what are the pros and cons of using them.
Why Hashtags Matter
If you’ve been thinking about traditional marketing methods, you might
wonder why I’m encouraging you to use hashtags. Why do they matter?
The answer is this: they matter because they have become part of the way
we talk to each other. While Twitter hashtags have been around for less
than a decade, they have increased in popularity so rapidly that no internet
marketer can afford to ignore them.
Internet marketers build businesses by creating content, and encouraging
conversation about that content. Hashtags can help you to group your
content into categories, brand yourself, and make it easier to engage
customers in conversations about your content and your brand.
[8]

Pros and Cons of Using Hashtags
Now let’s talk about the pros and cons of using hashtags. We’ll look at the
pros first:
Hashtags can help you organize your thoughts and content. When
you post about a topic or keyword your customers care about, they’ll
be able to find you easily.
Hashtags can help you spread marketing campaigns across multiple
platforms, and give you a way to collect feedback from your
customers.
Using hashtags can help you establish yourself as an authority in
your niche, and to connect with other people in your industry.
And now let’s consider some of the cons of using hashtags:
If you use hashtags inappropriately, it can backfire. Improperly
researched hashtags are a liability, not an asset.
Once you create a hashtag, you cannot control how people use it.
You will have to monitor your hashtags for inappropriate content or
negative publicity.
Overusing hashtags is as bad as not using them at all. If you use too
many hashtags or post too often, people may dismiss your content as
spam.
On the whole, hashtags can be a great tool for internet marketers when
they are used properly. The next step is to talk about why using free traffic
makes sense for newbie internet marketers.

Chapter 2 – Benefits of Free Traffic
If you’re just starting out as an internet marketer, you may wonder why I’m
advocating using free traffic sites with hashtags instead of paying for more
traditional advertising.
Why Using Free Marketing Makes Sense
As of January 2015, there are more than two billion active social media
accounts worldwide. That is a staggering number. Social media has
become the way we connect with one another, and it allows us to share
information, opinions and experiences on a global level.
Those numbers mean that no business can afford to ignore social media. In
order to compete as an internet marketer, you need to have a social media
presence. Since that is the case, why not make full use of that presence to
generate revenue?
A primary benefit of using free traffic to advertise is that, especially when
you are starting out, it can help you keep your costs down. If you can
attract customers and earn income without having to spend money on paid
advertising, why wouldn’t you want to do it?
[10]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
Finally, the techniques that you use on social media to brand yourself,
attract customers and sell your products are very similar to the techniques
you will use when your business has grown and you can afford to pay for
advertising. The experience of marketing your business using hashtags will
help you prepare for a more traditional marketing campaign later on.
The bottom line is that using free traffic from social media is an easy, low-
cost way to grow your business. Let’s take a look at what are the various
platforms that integrate hashtags features in them.
[11]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
Chapter 3 – Platforms that Support Hashtags
Twitter was the first platform to support hashtags, but it is by no means the
only place you can use them. Let’s take a look at the various sites where
you can use hashtags:
Twitter: the original site to use hashtags, and still the most popular
place to use them. Trending topics appear on the side of the feed.
Facebook: the largest social media site. Clicking on a hashtag will
take you to a page showing all posts (based on users’ privacy
settings) related to that hashtag. Trending topics appear on one side
of the feed.
Instagram: the popular photo-sharing site. You can use hashtags on
your photographs and also click on hashtags to find photographs
similar to ones you’ve posted.
Google+: Google’s social networking site. One major difference
between Google+ and other social media is that Google will add
hashtags if it feels they are relevant. You can opt out of this feature.
Tumblr: microblogging site. When you post new content, Tumblr
gives you the option of adding tags. When you do, it automatically
turns them into hashtags.
[12]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
Pinterest: online bulletin boards. Tags are only clickable in Pin
descriptions and they’re not searchable.
YouTube: video sharing site. Hashtags are more common in the
comments, and can be used to find videos with similar content.
Vine: site for sharing short videos. It’s owned by Twitter, so hashtags
are common and clicking on a hashtag will bring you to other Vines
with similar descriptions.
As you can see, there are many opportunities to use hashtags. In fact there
are many more platforms out there asides from the one listed above uses
hashtags as part of their integrated features. The next chapter will talk
about how and where to find highly-targeted hashtags that can help you
leverage this chance to turn your businesses into profit.
[13]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
Chapter 4 – Finding Highly-Targeted Hashtags
At this point, you may be wondering how to find highly-targeted hashtags.
There are several tools you can use to help.
1. Hashatit.com
Hashatit.com is a free site that allows you to search any hashtag, and then
breaks down the results by platform. For example, this search for the
hashtag #workouttips yielded the following result:
As you can see, it gives you information about who is using the hashtag
you’ve searched. You can also break down the results to see how people
are using the hashtag on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
[14]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
2. Findgram
Findgram is a website that helps you explore hashtags on Instagram.
You can search by hashtag or by user name. This can be especially
helpful for seeing what hashtags others in your niche are using. Here’s a
look at the Findgram search results for #yoga:
[15]

3. Tagboard
Tagboard gives more detailed information when you search a hashtag,
including the average number of times the hashtag is used per hour, and
trends regarding whether the tags are positive, neutral or negative. Here
are the results of a search for #crossfit:
[16]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
4. Hashtagify.me
Hashtagify.me is a site that offers up information about popular hashtags
and even shows who the top influencers are for each one. A quick
glance at their homepage gives an idea of the kind of tools they provide:
5. Other tools you can use include: RiteTag, Hashtags.org,
SmartInsights, and Bundlepost.
When you are doing hashtag research, start with one hashtag you think is
relevant to your site. When you see posts that use that hashtag, it is likely
you will see others that you can research as well, until you find the ones
that will be the most effective.
[17]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
Chapter 5 – How to Use Hashtags to Make a Profit
How this book came about is when I compiled all the best ways to use
hashtag for myself. I didn’t plan to distribute it elsewhere because it was
solely made for myself. But fortunately for you I realized that other people
need it. As much as traffic is concern, this method does not cost any
penny!
Now that you have a solid understanding of what hashtags are and where
to find them, it’s time to look at how to use them. I’ll walk through some of
the major platforms to give you an idea of what you can do to make the
most of each, and turn your hashtags into profits.
Twitter was the first platform to use hashtags, and it’s still the best place to
use them because it’s the most versatile. Here are some suggestions:
1. Participate in industry- and niche-specific conversations. One of
the hardest things for a newbie internet marketer to do is establish
himself as an expert. Follow leaders and other brands in your
industry, and use common hashtags to join the conversation. When
you talk about a hot topic, you increase the chance that your Tweet
will be seen – and that people who see it will follow you and become
customers.
[18]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
2. Create a hashtag that will help you brand yourself. Note: this
does mean that the hashtag must include your brand name. Ideally
you want to pick something that will (a) speak to your brand; (b) spark
conversation and sharing; and (c) not be used against you. Probably
the most famous marketing hashtag fail was McDonald’s #McDstories
hashtag. They created it assuming that people would tweet about
positive experiences with their brand, and instead found themselves
at the receiving end of a slew of negative stories. They ended up
pulling the tag within hours of its launch. A more successful story is
Nike’s #makeitwork hashtag. You will note that it does not include the
brand name. Instead it contains a positive message that encourages
participation, and it is very much in keeping with Nike’s brand
personality and image.
3. Use hashtags to promote contests and promotions. Everyone
loves to get a freebie. Why not run a giveaway and combine it with a
conversation on a trending topic in your niche? For example, say you
are selling yoga equipment. You might join in a conversation about
the health benefits of yoga using the hashtags others are using, and
then add your own hashtag for the contest you are running.
4. Live tweet an industry event. Most event organizers now create
event-specific hashtags so attendees and other interested parties can
follow along. Tweeting about an event while it is happening is a great
way to promote yourself at a time when interest is at a very high level.
Even if you are not attending the event, you can join in the
[19]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
conversations remotely and take the opportunity to interact with
participants and industry leaders.
5. Participate in Twitter chats. Twitter users can create chats to talk to
customers, colleagues and fans. Joining in a chat can be a great way
to engage with potential customers, establish yourself as an expert,
and network with other people in your industry. If you do not see a
Twitter chat that appeals to you, consider setting up one of your own.
Hashtags on Facebook have not yet caught on the same way they have on
other social media sites, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use them.
Here are some thing you can do to make use of them:
1. Participate in online traditions like Throwback Thursday (#tbt).
Making yourself a part of the community is a great way to spread the
word about your business.
2. Use hashtags sparingly on Facebook. Because their use is not as
widespread as it is on Twitter and Instagram, stick to using them only
when they can lead readers to a bigger conversation about a relevant
topic.
[20]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
3. If there is a hashtag that you’ve found is particularly strong for you,
use it across all of your social media platforms. It will help strengthen
your brand, and make it easier for customer to find you.
4. If you’re a local business, make sure to use the name of your city
as a hashtag – it will help local customers find you.
Hashtags are as prevalent on Instagram as they are on Twitter, if not more
so. Marketers know that hashtags are the only way to get their content
noticed on Instagram. Here are some tips to make them work for you:
1. Use popular and relevant hashtags to make sure your content is
seen by a wider audience.
2. Re-share your photos on Facebook – hashtags will carry over,
ensuring that content spreads faster.
3. Avoid using popular hashtags that are not relevant to your
business. For example, #love is one of the most popular hashtags,
[21]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
but you’re not doing yourself any favors using it to try to promote your
accounting software.
4. Use hashtags to sponsor a photo-captioning contest. The
primary content on Instagram is photographs, so have some fun with
it. Post a picture of someone using your product and ask for caption
suggestions for hashtags. Then give the winner a free product or gift
card.
5. Use your SEO keywords and adapt them to Instagram. For
example, if you sell yoga mats and videos, you may be trying to rank
for those words on Google. It’s unlikely that anybody will search
#yogamats on Instagram – but they might search #yoga or
#yogapose or something of that kind. Explore and get creative.
Like Instagram, Pinterest is photograph-driven, so hashtags are a very
important way to help users find the things you post. Here are some tips:
1. Create a special hashtag to promote new projects, then create a
board for them and encourage people to share.
2. Keep in mind that you cannot currently hashtag the names of boards
or in your account description or name. You can use them in
[22]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
descriptions of pins, although Pinterest may change that in response
to user feedback.
3. Use a mix of unique, brand-specific hashtags and general
hashtags to bring the highest amount of traffic to your pins.
4. Use 2-3 hashtags at the most. Studies show that using more
actually decreases engagement.
5. Create a special board for user-created content. Encourage
customers to pin photographs of themselves using your product, then
collect them on a special board and use a unique hashtag to label
them.
[23]

Chapter 6 – Tracking Hashtags
Once you have started using hashtags to promote your website and
products, it is extremely important to track their performance. If you have
created a unique hashtag then you can track some things by simply
searching the hashtag on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest.
However, if you want more detailed analysis of your hashtags, you can use
a site like Hashtracking.
Hashtracking offers things like:
Hashtag analytics
Real-time analysis
Embeddable infographics
Lists of contributors
Influencer analysis
[24]
HASHTAG PROFITS! | Skyrocket Your Profits with Hashtags
It can be a great way to monitor the ongoing success of your hashtag
marketing efforts. This is a sneak peek of some of what they can offer:
If you’re just starting out and trying to keep costs low, simply sign up for the
30 day free trial membership. During that time, try out all of the different
features they offer and if you find that you are having success with your
hashtags, their tools can help you do even more.
If you find that a particular hashtag is not performing well, that is a signal
that you need to try something new. The only way you can really know if
your hashtags are working is if you take the time to analyze their
performance.

HOT Hashtag Tips!
Finally, here are a few hashtag tips that are applicable for every platform.
1. Use a service like Postano to embed your hashtags on your website
and make it easier for people to follow you on social media.
2. Keep your hashtags short and sweet. If they’re too long they will be
more difficult for people to remember.
3. Think of a hashtag as a conversation, not a name. They are a way to
keep people talking about your product and your brand.
4. Display hashtags at media events and conferences. If you’re going to
a trade show and have a hashtag that’s been performing well for you,
make it part of your display and encourage people who visit your
booth to use it.
5. Monitor relevant conversations. Keep track of popular hashtags in
your industry and follow the conversation. This can be a great way to
keep abreast of what’s happening.
6. Encourage and make use of user-generated content. Hashtags are a
great way to get customers to participate in a conversation about your
brand, and re-posting positive things people say about you is terrific
advertising – and it’s free!
