Twitter Question: What is a Hashtag?

December 6, 2008 By
hashtag-question

What is a Hashtag? That’s a great question and proof that our internet world keeps changing. It was not very long ago I had no idea what a hashtag was and now I find them quite exciting to use.

Twitip just published a great explanation of the hashtag today so be sure to go check it out for the full 411.

How do I use the hashtag?

I’m using two hashtags on Twitter right now.  First, I use #mm for any post that relates to the Mom Masterminds website or membership.  Our members also use the tag whenever they talk about MM or invite others to join, etc.  In 2009 this hashtag is going to be increasingly important for reasons I can’t share just yet ;)

Second, I’m using #wahmwish for all posts that relate to the fulfilling WAHM Christmas Wishes, an annual Work at Home Moms Talk Radio tradition.

There are blogs on every topic imaginable, from food to politics to celebrity gossip. Generally, blogs combine the text entries with images, links to other blogs and other related media.

Blogging Opportunity for Mom Blogs

December 1, 2008 By

This opportunity pays $5 for a 120 – 150 word blog post that links to a blog post of mine. Your blog needs to be well established (at least 1 yr. old) and a mom related blog. I have a specific keyword that needs to be used, and I have posting dates in mind. If accepted, you agree to keep the link live for at least one year.

Payment will be made via PayPal after the post has been made. I’ll be using mass pay so you don’t lose money for fees when you get the payment :-)

If you’re interested email me at clauth@gmail.com and include the link to your blog. I’ll only be contacting those that I am interested in.
