How to Use Bags of Hashtags in RecurPost?

A hashtag is essentially a label that is used on social media sites that makes it easier for people to find content related to a specific theme or topic of interest.

‘Bags of hashtags‘ is a collection of hashtags that is very important in the present-day social media scenario because of the extreme overload of digital information. Through hashtags, people can cut through the clutter and find information related to their topic of interest.

RecurPost allows you to create ‘bags of hashtags‘ that you can use for every post that you create. This will save you some time when you have to create and schedule posts for your social media accounts.

Why create bags of hashtags?

As we just mentioned, hashtags are powerful and they can drive significant traffic to your social accounts. Hence, having the top hashtags attached to your posts is more important than you would think.

Coming up with trending hashtags can be a manageable task. But coming up with a set of hashtags for every other post that you create and making sure that it trends is not easy.

Therefore, a feature that allows you to create a bag or a set of hashtags that can directly be added to a post that you draft is very useful. You can simply pick the top hashtags that work for your brand and add them to every post that you create.
