- CMS – “A constant flow of new content”
- The key behind every living, breathing webpage, is a solid CMS in the background. A CMS, short for “content management system”, is a dashboard for the end-user to add content to their website. A CMS makes it easy to upload content and accompany it with the necessary links, tabs, references, or visual aids. The CMS streamlines the process from conceptualization to publishing content to your website, while also providing fields and reminders to include elements to meet best standards for web and SEO. By making sure you have a straightforward CMS to publish to your site, you can ensure the free flow of unique content to your site, as anyone on your team can contribute and publish content themselves.
- A CMS encourages regular posting of fresh content. This contributes to your SEO and overall domain authority, making for a stronger call to prospective clients searching for relevant keywords online.
#Hashtags?
#WhatsAHashtag?
You may have seen some posts on your feed ending with a string of pound signs and generic phrases, and wondered what in the world it all means. These are hashtags.
A hashtag is the secret path to get your post on multiple social media feeds on various social platforms. Think of hashtags as a currency of social media. The more hashtags you use, the more visible you are to people looking for posts related to that hashtag. These tags are a form of metadata that categorizes content into tags, or categories. Though to some they might seem unnecessary, hashtags are an integral part of how we communicate online.
How to use Hashtags
When you post a picture on Instagram, search for trending hashtags relating to the image. Trending hashtags are the most searched-for topics on the platform. Use of these hashtags also means that your post will reach the most eyeballs while they are trending.
On Twitter, hashtags act like a chatroom; when users express their thoughts and opinions about a popular topic, they can add a hashtag to the end of the tweet to join a larger discussion about that hashtag. You can even search trending conversations using hashtags. Users can view large discussions happening in real time right from the comfort of their homes. Hashtags can also be used for social causes to spread awareness or talk about a current event.
You can see below how The Avengers: Endgame is using hashtags on Twitter to start a larger discussion about their upcoming movie. Every tweet they post contains the hashtag #AvengersEndgame. This contributes to a Twitter-wide discussion about the movie. This way, fans can
experience new footage and posters as a part of their film discussion
