However, you find that once you have clicked onto the trending page, there are already millions of TikTokers who have created videos using the trending hashtag so the likeliness of yours to be seen is very little? You’re not the only one to think like this and therefore we have some tips and ticks to help you be the first to know!
One way you can find out what’s going to trend on TikTok is to follow the hashtag #trendalert. When typing this into the search bar, videos will appear from different profiles with explanations of what trend is new and upcoming.

Another way to find out what’s trending on TikTok is to follow new and current songs that have just hit the charts, and sounds that are commonly used. People like to create videos using their favourite song in the background and with many people using them, they become popular on TikTok. There are many videos you can created using a popular song, from fashion and beauty tips, to making up your own viral dance routine!
When scrolling through videos on your Home page, you can find a video that has good algorithm, click onto the sound and see how well it is doing on TikTok. If the sound has only a few views, you can check to see if the views have gone up on a daily basis and if it does, this may become a TikTok viral trend. This research can be applied to any profile or any video content on a profile. Choose 5 TikTok profiles that you like and have similar interests to you, see what is working for them and follow the same rule of finding a video on their profile, and following a sound that may only have a few to a thousand views.
A video can go viral if you are seen at the top of a trending sound or hashtag. As the views of your video increases, it will begin to show in peoples Home feed. Being the first to know about a trending hashtag is important as it helps grow the algorithm of your profile, but being true to your niche is also important as you don’t want to lose sight of your target market.
