How Hashtags On Twitter Will Help You

Nimble Quotes Lance SecretanDid you know you can search Twitter a similar way as you search on Google? Did you know using hashtags on Twitter when you tweet can help your tweet show up in Twitter searches?

Hashtags are also very powerful tools for connecting and building a network on Twitter.

What Are Hashtags On Twitter?

Hashtags are keywords or phrases that begin with the hashtag symbol (#). Hashtags are used to categorize tweets. On Twitter, when you click on a word or phrase with the hashtag symbol before it, you will be taken to a page with a list of tweets that contain that same hashtagged word or phrase.

If you use a hashtag in one of your tweets, someone who doesn’t know you but is interested in that topic can see your hashtagged tweet. It’s a great way to generate more interest in what you post and more awareness for you and your business.

Hashtags On Twitter Help

Hashtags create a wonderful opportunity to build a network. Twitter allows you to search for millions of different topics, so you can look up hashtags specific to your work and interests. And Twitter shows you all of the tweets pertaining to the hashtag, not just the tweets of those you’re following. This way, you can get into conversations, follow, RT, or favourite tweets from people you don’t even know yet. What a great way to meet and get exposed to more people, companies, charities, conversations and events. Learn more with these 5 ways Twitter hashtags help you engage and get noticed.

Try It Out For Yourself

So take advantage of hashtags on Twitter and get searching. You’ll find interesting topics for discussion and new people to interact with. Here’s how to start.

  1. To search on Twitter:
    Go to https://twitter.com/search-home

Twitter search bar

Type in the hashtag of the topic you’re searching for information about. If you are not sure there is a hashtag for your topic, start typing and you’ll see the hashtags that are currently used for that topic.

In our example, we’ll use #SmallBiz.

search Twitter for SmallBiz

Here is a screen shot of the most recent tweets with #SmallBiz. We’ve circled in red the hashtag #smallbiz in each tweet. This is why these tweets were brought up in the search.

Creating your own hashtag is also a great way to get your business into the conversations where your customers, clients and colleagues are, as well as potential customers, clients and colleagues. Find some more information on using Twitter hashtags for your business tweets by Stephanie Buck.

Who Sees My Tweets?

Nimble Quotes Chinese proverb

When you send out a tweet, just who sees it?  Can anyone see your tweets, or just your followers?

Can Anyone See My Tweets?

Once you’ve tweeted your update, those who are following you will see it appear in their Home timeline.  The Home timeline is the first page seen once someone has signed in to their Twitter account.  It’s where you can see all the recent tweets of the accounts that you’re following.

Twitter home timeline

Your tweets also appear on your profile page.  This is where anyone from the public can view your tweets – if your account is public, then anyone can look up your profile and see what you’ve posted.  So people don’t necessarily need to be following you in order to view your tweets.

Your tweets won’t appear in the timelines of those who are not following you, but they can search for them.  (Except for your direct messages – these cannot be viewed by the public.)

What About Hashtags?

Hashtags are keywords or phrases that begin with the hashtag symbol (#).  They are used to categorize tweets.  On Twitter, when you click on a word or phrase with the hashtag symbol before it, you will be taken to a page with a list of tweets that contain that same hashtagged word or phrase.

Where Do My Tweets Go?

Tweet field on home screenAre you new to Twitter?  Have you been wondering exactly what happens when you send out a tweet?  How do you know who will see it?

How Do I Post a Tweet?

First things first: how do you post the tweet?  Make sure you’re signed in to your Twitter account.  There are a couple of ways to begin posting: if you are on the home screen, you can either go to the box at the top of your timeline and type the tweet in there,

Tweet field on home screen

or you can click on the tweet button at the top right of the screen.

Tweet button at top of page

A box will pop up where you can type in what you’d like to post.

Compose a new tweet screen

Then you just click on the Tweet button and you’re done!

Twitter has instructions you can check out here.

What Happens After I’ve Tweeted?

Once you’ve posted your tweet, you’ll see it appear on both your profile page and your Home timeline.  What’s the Home timeline, you ask?  That’s the feed you see when you sign in to Twitter, where you can look at the recent tweets of everyone you’re following.  And that’s also where your followers will see YOUR new tweet appear. Here’s the difference:

This is my profile with a screen shot as I write this:

And this is my home screen as I write this (note that between the time I pulled up the screen and took the screenshot, 5 more tweets were posted. Don’t worry about posting too much with that kind of volume! But tweet frequency, that is another story.)

What If Someone Retweets Me?

Once you’ve sent out a tweet, there’s a chance one or more of your followers will retweet it.  Just what is a retweet?  It’s when someone re-posts your tweet onto their Twitter feed.  Through this feature, they can share your tweet with all of their followers.  This is great – it means that something you’ve tweeted struck a chord with one of your followers, and they decided to share it with their audience.  They even have the option of adding a comment along with it.

But how do you know if someone has retweeted you?  Easy – just go to the Notifications section by clicking on “Notifications” in the bar on the top of your screen.  There you’ll see if any of your tweets have been retweeted.

Here’s an example of a notification I got when Tina Gaisin of Fill The Room, and a fellow CAMP member, retweeted one of my tweets.

Example of retweet notification

Here is what a retweet looks like in the timeline. In this example, I follow WQW, and they retweeted a tweet by an account I don’t follow.

Example of a RT (retweet) in my stream from someone I follow.

To learn more, here is the official information from Twitter on retweets.

Try Tweeting, Try Retweeting

Over to you. Get sharing the excellent information your followers and those you follow are tweeting. Good luck and if you need any help, tweet to me @jenkellyjen or email jen[at]nimblequotes[dot]com.
