Want To Get Your Book in Front of More People? Try Three of These 33 Twitter Hashtags

Join — or build — a community

Twitter’s home to millions of people, many of them readers and writers. So, how can you get them to notice your book? Share your work? Help your work touch more people?

Hashtags!

Before getting into the most popular ones, here’s a few best practices when using these tiny community creators:

Put two relevant hashtags in each tweet. Three at the most.
Embed them in naturally. For example, “My #scifi book is excellent!”
Capitalize the first letter in a hashtag, i.e., #ThePriceOfABeatingHeart
Offer your fellow Tweeters a reason to use your hashtag. For example, Retweet #AccountabilityWithAshleigh to join the exclusive club
Avoid consecutive hashtagging (#awesome #scifi #books) — hard to read and it can get annoying
Tweet about more than your book

With so many hashtags, it can be tough to know which ones are the best, so here’s 33 popular ones for writers:
