How to Find the Best Hashtags and Usernames

On social media, the right hashtags expand your reach and a memorable username builds your brand. Here's how to nail both.

Choosing hashtags

• Mix popular and niche tags — niche ones are easier to rank in.
• Keep them relevant to the post; irrelevant tags hurt reach.
• Don't overdo it — a focused set beats 30 random tags.

Choosing a username

Keep it short, easy to spell and consistent across platforms so people can find you everywhere.
