Massive data is posted to a social media platform every day. And Hashtags make it easier for the networks to sort the data and classify it accordingly. For instance, if you want to search for a topic on Twitter or Instagram, hashtags will make your search easier. Authors/writers using hashtags increase their search visibility.
As an author, if you correctly want to position your personal brand and drive brand engagement than it is very important to use correct hashtags. Using the right Hashtags enables them to connect with new audience and grow their following. Hashtags can be used to classify your posts or to join in other hashtag topics.
Hashtags are majorly used in Twitter, Instagram (the highest Hashtags are used on Insta, like, you can use up to 30 hashtags per Instagram post), Youtube, Twitter, Pinterest (but not too many), and Facebook (rarely used).
Using the right Hashtags increases engagement by 21%. However, using too many Hashtags immediately lowers your engagement rates. Here I am sharing with you the Hashtags for authors, so if you are a writer / author, you can consider using them for your Instagram or Twitter posts.
Here we go….

Then, there are specific hashtags according to your genre, like, #amwritingromance, #yalit, #kindleromance, #scifi, #amwritingscifi. Using specific Hashtags will help you reach your target audience and other authors in your style.
So, use these Hashtags and reach out to more and more people on social media platforms!
