Hey Sally, thanks for your insights into the world of #’s. I know that you’ve recently mentioned in one of your sessions about using the right number of #’s matters or they lose their purpose. Is this number 5? And should we aim to do 5 relevant ones every time and keep them the same if we are wanting to infiltrate that topic of discussion on the platform? 

I use based on the content that I post. I usually like to know which hashtag is trending and has more followers but not sure how to do it 🤔

Another question, if I use more than 5 hashtags but they are all relevant to my content, would linkedin's algorithm degraded my post??

Hey Bec! Great question. I always recommend to choose 5 hashtags and never used anymore than 5 per post. 3 is the sweet spot and the first 3 you mention, in chronological order, are the most important because they are used in the URL for the respective post. 

And yes Bec, the more frequently you use the same hashtags the more momentum you are likely to build within those conversations - does this answer your question?

Ima if you want to know which hashtags are popular - use the LinkedIn search feature to search hashtags and see how many people are following them and how frequently content is being published under those hashtags

Yeah Ima, using too many hashtags (particularly if there is contradiction amongst the hashtags) can confuse the algorithm 

Hey Sally! It does indeed, thank you. I hope you have an awesome day 🙌🏼

Amazing!!! Hope your day is awesome too Bec :)
