Do you need some hashtag help? Hashtags are user-generated keywords preceded by the # symbol. This is a type of metadata used by social networks to allow content to be cataloged and searched by other users.

Twitter and Instagram are the main social networks that utilize hashtags. The great thing about these networks are they are probably the easiest platforms to grow your audience organically (or without paying for ads). These networks allow for organic growth with the use of hashtags. Some people use hashtags to emphasize points or to be funny, but Instagram and Twitter will catalog your posts based upon what hashtag(s) you use.
