So I'm not a huge social network person. I've had Facebook basically since the beginning and that's about it. I got an Instagram but I have like 4 pictures on it, same with Pinterest. I didn't even really understand what exactly a hashtag was until a while ago. I knew it was for Twitter and that's it.
It wasn't until Facebook started using hashtags that I thought I'd try clicking on one to see what it did. Of course, it brought me to a page that had all the posts of people that used that hashtag. Ohhhhhhh so it groups like things together. Genius! #imanidiot
Well that's cool. I still didn't really use it. Then last night, right before I was going to go to bed, it dawned on me . . . I could use hashtags to amp up views on my blog! #duh
I went and reshared some of my favorite posts on Facebook and, mostly, Google + (cause I didn't want to inundate my actual personal Facebook page with posts) with added hashtags.
There were a lot more views on my pages this morning. But seeing where they were coming from, I didn't think it seemed right. So I realized the best way to use hashtags is still with Twitter. So I signed up for one just to promote this blog. That's it . . . for now.
So go follow me @ewsmm, I guess ;)
