Usually, it's the final step everyone takes and is frequently rushed. Recently, there's been a lot of evidence showing the positive – and powerful - effects of images in social media and on the web. Did you know… - **tweets with images** receive **150% more retweets** than tweets without images?* - **Facebook posts with images** see **2.3X more engagement** than those without images?* Aren't those statistics just jaw-dropping?

I wrote the book to help anyone with a Facebook page (or group) generate conversation and interest in their page, helping it reach a wider audience organically. So when I first stumbled upon Chris and Charlie's Adventures page, and saw that their page was relatively new, I shared details of my book with them. Having read [A walk in the woods by Bill Bryson](http://amzn.to/2CYZiug) a few years ago, I was particularly interested in Chris and Charlie's walking adventure. I was delighted that they offered to review it for me. And even more delighted when I received this detailed review, published originally on their website, Chris and Charlie's Adventures.   Posted on Saturday, 3rd March 2018 by Vanessa Hunt [Books](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/books) [Creativity](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/creativity) [Facebook](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/facebook) [Instagram](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/instagram) [Marketing](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/marketing) [SEO](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/seo) [Twitter](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/twitter) [Read full post »](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/2018/03/facebook_inspiration_supports_chris_charlies_adventures) ![Highlight your value with a splash of hashtags](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/291.jpg) ## Highlight your value with a splash of hashtags One of my favourite quotes from the book [Oversubscribed](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0857086197/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_jmllxbB6525FE) by Daniel Priestley is:  > What do you stand for? What do you stand *against *? Our values determine the direction we take and the decisions we make in our business. If you’re confident about the value you provide to your clients, those who value what you stand for will choose to work with you. Businesses that are unclear about their value are easy to recognise. Their online marketing is smothered with [hashtags](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag), like hundreds and thousands. The content looks interesting, but it's a bit of a mess. Used sparingly, however, hashtags add a sprinkling of clarity to your messages on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.  Posted on Wednesday, 30th March 2016 by Vanessa Hunt [Creativity](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/creativity) [Facebook](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/facebook) [Instagram](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/instagram) [Marketing](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/marketing) [Social](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/social) [Twitter](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/twitter) [Read full post »](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/2016/03/highlight_your_value_with_a_splash_of_hashtags) ![I am not a number!](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/209.jpeg) ## I am not a number! Like most independent marketing Consultants, I belong to a number of online forums where businesses advertise for freelancers to help with their social media. Many of the requests for proposals go something like this: "Get 4K American Likes on Facebook." "Get me 1,000 likes on Instagram!" "I need 3K Followers on Twitter."
