As I’m sure you’ve heard before, most of the time, we’re more of a hashtag hoarder than we are a hashtag giver. And what’s worse, often times we are so consumed with all things hashtag that we’re forgetting to even stop to think about anything else.
We don’t need to be hashtag givers to be a hero to our kids, but we do need to be aware of the fact that there may be some great hashtags about to come along.
hashtags are the thing that most of us are most likely to forget after a while. But they are more than just a social media tool that works to keep us in the loop and more importantly in the “know.” They can help you create your own identity as a hero for your children and family. The biggest ones are #myhero, #myherodance, #dontbother.
There are a lot of great hashtag opportunities out there, but only a handful of the ones that really hit home.
I use them all the time for example. If I know that I’m going to have a long day of baking in the kitchen, I want to create a hashtag that means “cake day”. I want to create a hashtag with “cake” to mean a specific type of cake. Because I can.
For kids, I use hashtags like #MyHeroDance. The big one is #MyHeroDance because I always wanted to be a superhero. The hashtag myherodance is a way for kids to get involved in the superhero community. We do a lot of fundraisers for super heroes and their families and we use the hashtag #myherodance to promote our fundraisers.
Have you ever tried to build a hashtag for your website and just end up creating the same thing over and over and over? It’s not uncommon. We have been using Twitter for a long time and I think we have created nearly every hashtag we use. If you’ve ever tried to build a hashtag for your own website, you’re doing it wrong.
I think if youre using a hashtag, its more effective to make it a “real” hashtag than to make it a “fake” hashtag. People are more likely to look for what youre talking about and click on it if it isnt “real.
To avoid using hashtags, I suggest you start off with a few simple things. First, you should know what your hashtags are. If you’re building a new website, you need to know your hashtags. If you’re building a new page, you need to be sure you have all the hashtags you want on your site. That way you don’t have to go off and edit every single post you come across.
