The Best and Worst Hashtags to Accompany Your COVID-19 Content – Updated
I keep updating this story because the hashtag follower counts are rapidly changing and rising. Here’s an updated version of the chart and the article as of 4/19.
Hashtags are great tools to help your content become discovered on LinkedIn, but only if you know how to correctly use hashtags and you use the most effective ones.
If you’re writing about the coronavirus on LinkedIn, you should be using hashtags so your content can be amplified and have a stronger impact. The content you post should have your target audience in mind and be designed to help them navigate this unprecedented time.
But first off – what is a hashtag? Just like on Twitter or Instagram, a LinkedIn hashtag is any combination of letters, number or emoji that follow the # symbol such as #coronavirus. Any spaces or symbols used within the tag will break the link, so that means you can’t include apostrophes, commas, exclamation points or hyphens in your hashtag.
Hashtags help users find content on a specific topic. If you add hashtags to your posts, they’ll help you get discovered by other users, including those not connected to you (2nd and 3rd degree connections). This is because individuals now search for content under hashtags and click on the hashtags in posts. In addition, you can follow hashtags on LinkedIn, meaning that posts containing the ones you have selected will appear in your news feed.

Guest Column: Law Firm and Attorney Rankings During a Pandemic: Why is this Still a Thing?
My dear friend Amanda Loesch the chief marketing officer at Porzio, published an article on LinkedIn yesterday, and I asked her if I could make it a guest column on my blog because I think the message is so important – there is nothing like a global pandemic to put things in perspective.
The article focused on legal guides and award submissions and why they are still considered a priority – the publications continue to send deadlines and reminders, and it seems quite tone deaf given the fact that we are living in the midst of a public health crisis with no end date. Legal industry publications should be thinking about adapting and innovating, not pushing through as if this is business as usual. Amanda is another woman who wows, and I hope you’ll take the time to read her article.
