Now for many of us the #hashtag is a confusing little guy. How do you use it? Does it have any real benefit?
By adding hashtags do you really get more traffic to your posts?
So yesterday I did a little digging and clicked a lot of icons and stumbled through some pretty exciting stuff that I want to share with you.
You are not going to believe how powerful a #hashtag is and why you should be using them in your posts and in your blog.
And how important they are in building your MLM business. Ready?….
The Secret #hashtag
Do you remember when you use to go to the library and they had an index card section for you to hunt through to find where book and references were?
Well, think of the internet as a massive library with tons of information and up until recently no way to index and group the content together.
So when Twitter started using #hashtags, they did it to connect related posts and content. Breaking news… would also search twitter for related hashtags to help them get a better picture of what was taking place.
Ultimately hashtags have allowed users to find related information and create categories on the internet.
Even TV shows got into the swing of #hashtags and they have turned out to be key in marketing and building a following.
Ready to see it in action? Watch how Google+ has made hashtags an important part of your online research.
Pretty cool huh! I love how easy Google+ makes it to get found and to find and connect with others!
#hashtags and Your MLM
When you post about your MLM are you using a hashtag that is specific to you or your MLM?
By using hashtags when you post, YOU become searchable on the internet.
This is one way to build authority or become the go to person to join. When you use your blog to educate and train others about your MLM, you begin to set yourself apart from all the minions in your MLM that are just doing the same thing.
#hashtags allow you a freedom to be found. I bet you right now that less than 10% of your competitors are using hashtags, which gives you a HUGH advantage.
So if you are posting on Social Media…. don’t forget the hashtag. And if you want to be found in the search engines… Start playing on Google+ and use #hashtags. A powerful combination that I wouldn’t pass up!
If you got value out of today’s blog post on #hashtags please share using the social icons to the left. Your Rock!

The best hashtags that work for me ones related to helping others. #bloghelp #mlmtraining Typically things that people search out on the internet. Of course being a fan of #bacon… that hashtag always works well for me also. 🙂
