Welcome Skyfleet!

This is the first Installment of a series I’m going to call ‘Skyfleet Engage’.

This series of articles (And videos, make sure you join the YouTube Skyfleet) is going to be focusing on how you can participate in growing the Skycoin Eco-System by making a blood oath… uh… Shit, I mean helping us; yea HELPING!

I don’t think there’s any debating that Skycoin has one of the best communities in the Blockchain / Cryptosphere. We may not have the numbers of other projects, but the engagement and comradery of the Skyfleet is rivaled by none! There is a sense of purpose, a feeling of contributing to the greater good that cannot be shaken.

Yet there’s still much more that can be done to help the mission. , that will eventually skyrocket Skycoin to legend status! No more sideline sitting, listening in silence and watching from the dark corner as the cool kids shill.

Are you ready to do your part Mr / Mrs Bag Hodler?

All aboard the moon shuttle, but don’t forget… The $KY comes first!

Why Hashtags?

Hashtags are an easy way to get started helping straight away!

Most of you are already using social media and hashtags, so it’s a small step to start integrating Skycoin into your habitual posting.

Discoverability is another big reason for choosing hashtags, one tweet or post has the potential to be seen by millions.

Oh, and of course it costs nothing but a small amount of your time.

Sold?… Good!

Which Platforms Use Hashtags:

Twitter is the king of hashtags, pioneering the use of the searchable and clickable hashtag in 2009 beating Instagram by 1 year and Facebook by 4.

Other social platforms such as Linkedin, YouTube, Pinterest and Google+ also utilize hashtags in varying degrees of effectiveness.

In this article, I’ll be focusing on Twitter and Instagram, the dominant two hashtag platforms. Facebook and Linkedin can be added if you want to be a Skyfleet HERO!

Hashtag Goals!

Community hashtags are a powerful way to reach a wide audience, especially people outside the Skycoin Eco-System. That being said we’re also looking internally on what this can do to spur the current Skyfleet into action.

Some of our goals include:

Encouraging people to start and/or attend local Skycoin meetups.
Creating a wide-reaching net of Skycoin content online to capture all the outsiders.
Enabling everybody to chip in their 2 Coinhours of help.
World domination.

Best Practice for Hashtags:

Note: Try to follow these guidelines around 70% of the time, go nuts the other 30% (Incorporate 1 of the community hashtags if you can)

When it comes to hashtags a good rule of thumb is no more than 2 per post/tweet, excluding Instagram which has 9 as the ‘optimal’ number.
Now, the hand of God isn’t going to smite you because you used 4 hashtags in your post! Just be wary that every hashtag over 2 results in a decrease in potential exposure (Excluding Instagram)
Writing the hashtag into the post and using caps where appropriate is also a good idea.
Follow the pairing guides below so the Skyfleets efforts are focused.
