Essential Do's and Don'ts on How to Use Hashtags

Hashtags are being extensively used on different social media as a powerful tool for communication. In simple words, hashtags are keywords preceded by a # symbol. If you use # as a prefix for any word, it acts as a searchable link and takes you to all the conversations that include the hashtagged word.

Whilst numerical are supported by a hashtag, a hashtag is devoid of punctuation marks or any special characters.
