The value of hashtags is quite simple. Placing the hashtag before a word or fully concurrent phrase on Twitter, Facebook and others results in a link that leads to a special interest page where you will find other postings with the same tag. Not only will this result in additional readers, but these special interest pages allow other social media users who may not follow or connect with you to see how interesting a person you really are.
The ultimate value of this is that these users who have until now resided outside of your own network will now have an opportunity to make a valuable connection with you and your down-line. This is a valuable asset so be sure to make use of it at every turn. You also can make up your own special hashtags and register them with Hashtag.org.
There are some social media networks that simply do not create such a link. But there are those who continue to use hashtags on those networks, usually because they have a software program that allows them to cross post to multiple social channels simultaneously.
