Page 17: Twitternomics 101 - Benefits of Twitter for Financial Advisors (NAPFA Fall Conference)

@ T I N A C P O W E L L

4. More retweets.

5. Enhance engagement.

What is a hashtag?

A hashtag is identified by the # symbol, used within Twitter. They can be used anywhere within the 140 characters of a tweet and when the # symbol is placed in front of a word or phrase, it becomes a clickable term and if used widely enough they can actually become a popular trending concept.

REASONS TO USE HASHTAGS

17

Page 18: Twitternomics 101 - Benefits of Twitter for Financial Advisors (NAPFA Fall Conference)

@ T I N A C P O W E L L

HASHTAG = #COLLEGESAVINGS

This is what happens when you click the #collegesavings hasthag in the tweet. It delivers all of the results for tweets containing “#collegsavings”. They can be from anyone on Twitter, i.e. you don’t have to follow them or vice versa.
