MONDAY

#MondayBlues
Mondays are… well… Mondays. They’re not always viewed as the most exciting day of the week; however, you can commiserate with your online community by participating in #MondayBlues and share your story.
#MCM (Man Crush Monday)
Man Crush Monday is one of the original day-of-the-week hashtags (along with WCW – woman crush Wednesday). This hashtag is typically used to disclose a secret crush; however, in a more professional setting, spin the idea of your “crush” to explain why you admire a male figure. Emphasize why you admire them as a person, and not for their looks. An exception to this would be if you’re running a social account for a fashion company and you admire a male fashion designer.
#MusicMonday
Keep your spirits up on a Monday by listening to some good tunes. For instance, share your playlist or your top song for getting through a Monday! Additionally, populate some user-generated content by asking your followers to share what they’re listening to on #MusicMonday.
#MondayMemories
Reminiscing about an old memory? Use #MondayMemories to share a story from the past with your followers.
#MondayMood
If you’re in a mood (good or bad), tell your followers what kind of mood you’re in, and why! If you’re in a less than ideal mood, put a funny spin on it. Encourage your followers to be in a good mood – it’s the saying “smiling is contagious,” but for social media.
TUESDAY
#TravelTuesday
If you run a social media account for a travel agency, this hashtag is going to be your ultimate sidekick. Even if you don’t run a travel brand’s social account, showing employees traveling for a convention still counts as travel!
#TipTuesday

People will come back to your page looking for more if you keep up with that hashtag each week!
