The Importance of Hash Tag’s

Hello everybody,

Have you ever wondered, “Whats the deal with the Hash Tags?” Me too. I kind of read about it and it turns out Hashtags are labels for things. The more labels you have the more views. At least thats the idea.

So here is a list of helpful hashtags for writers and readers.

Let the hashtaging commence.
