Last weekend, at the blogging panel (which, by the way, was a blast) during the question and answer period, a woman asked about hashtags – “what are they?”

If she asked that, then I figured someone else in our audience might have the same question. Here is the scoop about hashtags.

A hashtag is just that little crossed symbol on your keypad that used to be called the number sign (#).

It’s used on social media (mostly Twitter but it’s on other sites, like Facebook, as well) as a way to do searches. Hashtagged words act as keywords in a search. Think about it, how many words do you know in the English language that start with #? I’m guessing that you can’t come up with many. Because of this, hashtags are used on the internet as a way to easily do searches.

Let’s say I’m…

Yay, Yay, Yay. In two days time, I am hosting my cover reveal here with a giveaway.

Guess what? Enter and win a $5 amazon amazing Kindle Gift Card.

Isn’t that amazing just for few simple tasks that we authors always ask you to do. 

Be it engaging readers or growing fan base targeting a specific criteria, swag and giveaways lighten up a iota of enthusiasm with the very words for some of us. That doesn’t imply we are greedy. It is just that we all love to get some stuff, something that reflects our favorite authors and coming from the author himself/herself is always a pleasure.

Don’t you agree with me? I am being fair too and since this is officially my first giveaway during my cover reveal, I am excited to the core and at the same time I feel I might have a nervous breakdown.

Please stay tuned…
