Octothorpe! The Original Name For The #Hashtag
#hashtag this and #hasgtag that. They’re in almost every social media post we see today. However the famous symbol # was once referred to as the “pound” symbol.
Where did it originate from?
According to lexico.com in North Anerica it’s used in context such as go to question #2. In music the symbol is known as a sharp note.
The name octothorpe is said to have been invented by a Bell Laboratories employee in the 1960’s to honor the American athlete and Olympic gold medallist Jim Thorpe.
Surprisingly the first hashtag was first brought to Twitter on August 23, 2007 by Chris Messina. Chris wrote an blog post expressing his interest in using hashtags when posting on social media.
Tagging when posting on social media also allows you to express words with an #throat punch in your sentance.
#hashtag, #writing, #blogging basically any word can become a hashtag.
Some of the top hashtags can be found here.
#peace
#love

Repurposing Content
Repurposing your content is easy.
For example; I created this video earlier this year. Now I am “repurposing” it to incorporate it into my blog post.
In this video I talk about comparing a double rainbow and business. Be an example for other’s to follow, make good on your promises to others.
Just because you write a blog, make a video, create a picture for Instagram doesn’t mean that it only can be used for that one purpose.
Creating Content – What inspires you when your creating content for your social media?
Is it a picture, a quote, information to share? Never be afraid to use the content that you’ve created in more than one place.
When do we become an expert on certain topics?
Does it take days, months even years? I’ve been told that it takes 10,000 hours to perfect a craft. That’s seven years. I don’t want to take seven years. I want to do it in less time than that!
Together we can Gain The Advantage!
