How to create hashtag
Creating hashtags is very simple, you get to know a few technical things like hashtag is always a single word (it can be a combination of letters, numbers or phrases). No space is allowed between these letters or words, they need to run together. Another important thing is that hashtag will always start with symbol hash, which is called a number sign or pound sign in some countries. You can add your hashtag anywhere in the massage at end or in the middle where it is readable. You might have heard about hashtag directories, but they are unofficial.
Hashtags should be short which can be easily remembered and understood. Pronunciation of long hashtags is difficult and they can’t be remembered too! You can use the already created hashtags too, but try to create unique hashtags.

Keep yourself “email list” ready
Your email list is your best friend, where all the contacts, you have ever earned are resting together. Just believe in those who have trusted you so far and keep on adding lot more.
Please do not panic, if you still do not have a list at back and call, since all you have to do now is – to get an ‘Auto-responder’ account, which will start collating an email list for you from the moment you use it.
