Twitter Hashtags to Help you Sell More Books

Hashtags allow new readers to find you on Twitter. A great way to promote your book is to include hashtags that already have a following on Twitter, in your tweets.

How exactly does that work? 

You simply append the hashtag to the end of your tweet when it’s relevant.

Here is a list of hashtags that are already popular among the reading community on Twitter, with examples on how you can use each one.
