Top 20 real estate hashtags to follow
Using hashtags is an integral part of any social media marketing plan.
When it comes to using them on Twitter, they do count towards your word count which means you can’t use that many. Maybe one or two usually. In addition, if users want to follow certain #hashtags, they need to use a third party app like TweetDeck.
When looking for popular hashtags on Twitter, you want to look to the left of your feed in the “trends” column. This will show topics that are trending with relation to what you typically post about and the people you follow. Since you are posting real estate content and who you follow falls into the real estate space, that “trending” section will be a great resource.
So what are some guidelines for proper hashtag usage? Here are a few:
- Don’t go overboard: Make sure the hashtags are related.
- Make them fun: If you are #happy that you sold something. Share that.
- Highlight property features: Use hashtags that highlight a listing’s best features.
