National Brothers Day

Many people are looking for ways to help increase their social media followers. One important area for those who desire this is to study the art of using hashtags. When it comes to social media, hashtags are the first choice of a search for both Instagram and Twitter. They are also becoming more popular with searches on other social media sites such as Youtube, Pinterest, Snapchat, and Facebook. Those who become adept at using hashtags can greatly increase their social media presence and popularity.

The more you know about hashtags and how they work, the more creative you can be in choosing the correct ones to use with your content. This will increase the chances that those who find your content will be genuinely interested in it and make it much more likely they will become a long-term follower. One creative way some people have used to leverage hashtags is to create content in conjunction with the various obscure national holidays celebrated during the year.

Most people are quite aware of the big national holidays such as Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Valentine's Day. What many don't realize is there are hundreds of other national days that simply aren't as popular and thus aren't known by everyone. An easy way to find out about these holidays and their corresponding hashtags is by using a tool like Hashtag Picker.

A good example of one of the less popular national days is National Brothers Day. This day celebrates the brothers of the world and lands on May 24 each year. There are actually three hashtags associated with this day. #NationalBrothersDay is the most common, but #BrothersDay and #NBD are also shorter hashtags used to tag this day. While your brother isn't going to scold you for not remembering #nationalbrothersday, you will probably earn some bonus points if you do.

Below are some of the reasons your social media account can benefit by knowing about and sharing #brothersday each May:

Good Information: There aren't many people who know there is a National Brothers Day, let alone when that day actually occurs. That being said, anyone who has a brother would likely enjoy knowing about the day and appreciate a heads up when it's near. By letting people know #NBD is on May 24th, you are providing quality information to those who read your social media.

Preparation Appreciation: Even better than posting on the actual day itself, giving users a few days head's up will allow those interested to do something special for the day if they so desire. This can turn a day nobody would have likely missed into a special event where it's obvious some time and effort was put into it. Again, you benefit your followers by providing them the information which they can act upon if they choose to do so.

Increased Likes and Shares: Since it's not a well-known day, those who learn about it may feel inclined to like and share the information to let others know about it as well. If this happens, it can bring new sets of eyes to your account with the potential of adding more members.

By taking the time to learn and share about little-known days like #NationalBrothersDay which can be applicable to a large number of people, you're providing helpful information to others. This help can be a great way to expand your social media accounts as people are likely to subscribe to something that benefits them in some way. By using Nationa Brothers Day as a post, or series of posts, each May, you provide an opportunity to engage your followers in a way many others won't. Expand this to include some of the hundreds of lesser-known days celebrated each year and you may see great benefits through increased engaged followers.
