Over a year ago, I created the hashtag, #IYLSSS, If You Like Something Say Something, to promote small creators on Twitter.

For small creators, such as the artists/cartographers, designers, editors, layout people, small publishers, and others — spreading the word is worth as much, if not more than money.

Tell the creator & tell others that you like something they did.

It gives them encouragement and informs others of something they didn’t know about.

I haven’t used that tag as often as I should.

I made a graphic to explain it.

It’s short enough to fit on Twitter and other space limited sites, and of course, works with any website that supports hashtags.
