Monitor and use trending hashtags
Following the positive trends on social media is mandatory for content creators to continue growing. Keep an eye on the hashtags that are trending and are often used by other content creators. Popular hashtags indicate the audience’s interest in a particular topic, for example, #2Looks is trending in Pakistan prompting users to upload more videos featuring a couple of distinct looks in their content. Also, #TSAActing is another popular one with regards to a newly launched contest by Likee, which aims to look for Talent Stars.
Usually, you can find trending hashtags on certain pages on social media.
