If you create a hashtag, anyone on the platform can come along and use that hashtag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the question is, why use YouTube hashtags?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although compared to Twitter and Instagram, where hashtag plays a significant role, the function of YouTube hashtags is slightly different. Here are two ways you can leverage them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Ride the trending wave through hashtags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of aiming to own or establish a hashtag, find ones that are either trending or showing the potential of a breakout trend. Riding the wave of a <strong>trending topic<\/strong> or hashtag is a great way to be discovered by viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read all about YouTube Trends and how to use them to grow your channel <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordtool.io\/blog\/youtube-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Use hashtags as a utility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to use hashtags is by using them as a <strong>utility instead of a marketing tool<\/strong>. An excellent example of a content creator and influencer that does this well is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garyvaynerchuk.com\/biography\/\">Gary Vaynerchuk<\/a>, a popular speaker and a serial entrepreneur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has two YouTube channels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/GaryVaynerchuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gary Vee<\/a> (<em>#GaryVee<\/em>) &#8211; A channel that hosts a variety of content, including keynote speeches, monologues, and interview excerpts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCOEMEjL1GBJ41uCWur5VXWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ask Gary Vee<\/a> (<em>#AskGaryVee<\/em>) &#8211; A channel featuring Q&amp;A sessions on many topics like life advice, entrepreneurship, digital media, and many more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The main channel, Gary Vee, uses the hashtag <strong><em>#GaryVee<\/em><\/strong>. Meanwhile, his second channel, Ask Gary Vee, uses the hashtag <em>#AskGaryVee<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@garyvee\/hashtags-are-a-double-edged-sword-30cf74ea8cb6\">Gary explained<\/a> that the primary purpose he uses the hashtag <strong><em>#AskGaryVee<\/em><\/strong> is to allow his viewers to find questions easier. It then becomes a <strong>quick and easy<\/strong> way for viewers seeking a specific type of content on Gary&#8217;s channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says that we should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Try to reverse engineer the nature of the hashtag, and then try to bring value to the conversation \u2013 joke, a piece of information \u2013 rather than what most people think about which is \u201cHow can I create a hashtag and start my own trend?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hashtags may not make or break your content, but it&#8217;s a simple and useful method to amplify it further.
