How to actually create trending content (from a marketing POV) 📈
1. Study what’s already working
Don’t guess. Analyse top-performing content in your niche and look for patterns in hooks, structure, and messaging.
2. Hook attention in 1–3 seconds
If you don’t stop the scroll immediately, nothing else matters. Lead with the outcome, a bold statement, or curiosity.
3. Deliver fast, clear value
One video = one message. Cut the fluff and get straight to the point to keep viewers watching.
4. Optimise for retention
Fast pacing, pattern interrupts, and tight editing keep people watching longer, which drives reach.
5. Give a reason to engage
Build in moments that encourage saves, shares, or comments. That’s what pushes content further.
6. Test multiple variations
Same concept, different hooks or formats. This is how you find what actually works, not what you think works.
7. Double down on winners
When something performs, scale it. New hooks, slight tweaks, more volume.
That’s how trends are built.
