Apart from and even with sponsored posts, one good way to reach different people at the same time is with the use of hashtags, these work just like keywords on Google, they push your business in a way that someone looking for the service you're rendering could just type it online, and your business could pop up. Hashtags basically send a post around, to different people and places at the same time.

However, to get the best out of hashtag promotions, you have to know just how to use it, just any kind of hashtag would not go, there are ways around it, and a few of those ways are listed down below for you.

Be specific:

Your hashtags should not be random, it has to be specific to your business. In essence, if your business is selling yogurts for kids. Your hashtag should be #yogurtsforkids and not just something random as #sellingyoghurt. The reason is, these days, people are a little more specific with their searches, people don't have time to sift through millions of articles or posts to get the exact thing they want, so they usually just type in the exact thing they want and posts and articles relating to their search pop up. Being specific is very essential.

Be location-based:

This helps those around you find you a lot easier when someone has their phone location on, and they search for a certain thing, the search naturally brings up the item they are searching for in their location first before going broad. Then again, people would rather look for #yogurtsforkidstexas if they are in Texas, than #yogurtforkids.

Brand your hashtags:

Let your hashtag be unique to you, but most importantly it should be related to your brand. If what you sell is a drink which has a minty feel to the throat, and relives flu, your hashtag could be #coolrelief. Your branded hashtag must be short, relatable and sensible, nothing long and unnecessary, just enough to pass the message and get attention too. Before branding your hashtag, make a search and check that no one else is making use of the same hashtag.

Listed above is how it can be used to promote your business successfully.
