I stay on top of social media trends by not trying to watch everything, I just focus on where trends actually start. I check apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook because if I see the same thing popping up more than once, I know it’s trending. I also use tools like Google Trends sometimes to understand why something is blowing up, not just that it is. And honestly, I pay attention to smaller creators and comment sections, because that’s usually where trends start before they get big. The main thing is just being consistent, like even 10 minutes a day, and watching for patterns. If a trend is everywhere across platforms, then yeah, it’s definitely something to pay attention to.
