Writers, Let’s Talk Hashtags
Hashtags aren’t dead, but they also aren’t magic wands. Used the right way, they can still help your writing journey get discovered.
Here’s what you need to know:
Instagram & TikTok
Hashtags are still powerful tools for categorizing your content and reaching readers outside your immediate circle. Think of them as “library labels” that put your book on the right shelf.
LinkedIn
Hashtags help you connect with professionals and fellow writers. Keep them industry-focused ( ).
Facebook
Minimal impact. Focus on groups, pages, and conversations instead.
X (Twitter)
Still relevant for trending conversations, but keywords often work just as well.
The sweet spot? Use 3–5 hashtags. Blend broad ones ( , ) with niche ones ( , ).
That way you’re not shouting into the void, you’re talking directly to your readers.
Remember: hashtags don’t sell books, but they do open doors. Your story still does the rest.
