Hashtags work too, they are often never used, but they can really help, especially when shared out. Because they are in the title, platforms like twitter or facebook will auto convert them into Hashtags there and it could help boost the result ranking across those sites too.

Thank you for the great advice I've been seeing a few people use hashtags and their descriptions I could never figure out why but now I do know why thanks to you thank you you're amazing

As mentioned above, it will increase click through rate if used sparingly. By "sparingly", I mean it's often better to just capitalise the important words, not every word. All caps in a title is shouting and looks pretty terrible IMHO
