1 Use social media platforms

One of the easiest ways to find trending topics and keywords for your niche is to use the social media platforms themselves. You can browse through the popular hashtags, stories, reels, trends, and topics on platforms like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. You can also follow influencers, competitors, and industry leaders in your niche and see what they are posting and how they are engaging their followers. Pay attention to the comments, reactions, and shares that their content generates and use them as inspiration for your own content.

    TIP: Go to TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest, for example, and start typing in the main keyword you want to use. AI will 'finish' your search and suggest related searches! It's pulling up what people are actually typing into the platform. Create THAT exact content. :) Example: Keyword "purple"Suggested on TikTok: Purple toothpastePurple RainPurple ShampooPurple heartSuggested on Instagram:purple hairpurple makeupPurple nail designPurple nail inspoSuggested on Pinterest:Purple nailsPurple aestheticpurple wallpaperPurple hair

    As a beginner I have never used any social media. But it’s not good for succeeding Entrepenur because we need to use it effectively. When I started using and keep on scheduling time to do. But the question is will my audience like it?Then I have seen , people loves your content when it’s unique, informative and helpful for them.Ex: I am legal consultant who charges for the advice I give whereas I started writing content on most needed advice to every entrepreneur which is common as an awareness Champaign which alters people before they fall into prey for any legal issues. At the same time, I feel like I am using my time helping someone get alerts before they lost and not wasting my time in / with social media.

    The popularity of topics on social media often doesn't reflect the most significant scientific advancements. This is because scientific research often involves complex and abstract concepts that are difficult for the general public to understand and engage with.

    Not only the content but also the presentation is important. Good content with bad presentation maybe has some value but bad content with good presentation has no value. Use any tool that you like but make sure it didn't decrease your content value.
