If you want to be a successful content creator, something that you are going to have to become well acquainted with is trends. A lot of platforms push these trends in the algorithm and so you will find better success if you follow them. Here are some content trends that are blowing up right now.
The When You Were Younger Trend
If you are someone that uses TikTok, something that you have likely seen is the ‘when you were younger’ trend. This trend is super simple and as long as you have access to some childhood pictures. All that you have to do is take a current picture of yourself and a picture from when you were a baby and meld the two together. The point of the trend is to see just how much you have changed since you were a child and it is one of the most wholesome trends online right now.
Which Celebrity Do You Look Like Trend
If you are looking for a trend that is a bit of fun and you are not afraid to get your feelings hurt, a trend that I would definitely suggest is the ‘which celebrity do you look like’ trend. This trend is a lot of fun and it involves the use of the filter. The filter will take a picture of you and compare it to some famous faces, selecting which one you look most alike. The best part about this trend is that you often get faces that look nothing like you, which can make for a pretty funny video.
Turn Your Partner Into You Challenge
If you are someone that has a partner, you can use them to try and boost your content creator popularity. There is a really fun trend going around right now where you take your partner and swap looks. This means that if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you completely swap outfits and you also do their makeup the same as how you would do your own. It is a lot of fun and you may be surprised at how different your partner looks and how closely you can get them to resemble your own appearance.
Date Night Roulette Challenge
If you and your partner have fallen into the routine of doing the same things, it is likely that you are getting a bit bored of your usual date night routine. Well, not only can you combat this, but you can get a good video out of it. In this roulette, you put down multiple activities, multiple food options and multiple towns. You then spin the virtual wheel and it picks one of all of these things and plans your date out for you. This is a lot of fun and it is a great way to get your partner more involved in your content creation.
Mystery Vacation Trend
By now, you have seen the countless mystery vacation videos, but if you haven’t here is a short explanation of what they are. There are a number of companies online that are offering random holiday experiences for a very low price. For under one hundred dollars, you can get a vacation and flights to a random destination. If you are looking to save some money and you are just not sure where to go, this is a brilliant idea and it makes for a great experience. You can also film some great content from doing this, a lot of people love to see an insight of what these experiences are really like.
Candle Painting
Another viral trend that is taking TikTok by storm right now is the candle painting trend. You take a white candle and an assortment of smaller colored candles and melt them. With the melted colored wax, you can then paint an image with the colored wax and make some pretty impressive images with the paint. This is a really fun creative outlet and if you are looking for a way to keep your page lively, doing this will definitely bring in some extra followers.
Thrift Store Outfit Challenge
If you are someone that has a social media page that is dedicated to fashion and you are a fan of getting dressed up, a trend that you will find a lot of fun is the thrift store outfit. You and a friend each get twenty dollars and you have to use this money to find each other a complete outfit from a thrift store. You can choose to be funny with this or you can actually try and turn out some impressive looks, it really depends on what you are looking to achieve with your video.
Dance Challenge
Something that you can do if you are someone that is active on social media is a dance challenge. Every month or so, a song will blow up on social media and a new dance for that song will shortly follow. Following this trend and making your own dance is a great way to boost your page or channel, because people that copy it will then have to credit you and bring attention to your page. This is a great way to connect with a wider audience and bring more people to your channel.
