So what&#8217;s trending for you might not even show up for someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why creators need to stop thinking of trending as just \u2018<strong>viral<\/strong>\u2019 and start thinking of it as what people are <strong>actively watching<\/strong>, <strong>sharing<\/strong>, or <strong>searching<\/strong> for right now. \ud83d\udd53<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s break it down into three main types of trending content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>\u2728<\/strong> <strong>Viral Trends:<\/strong> These are the viral moments that come out of nowhere and dominate the internet for <strong>24-72 hours<\/strong>. It could be a meme, a challenge, a celebrity moment, or any random viral event. These can explode \ud83d\udca5overnight\u2026 but die out just as fast. So, it\u2019s <strong>perfect for Shorts or quick reactions<\/strong>. Don\u2019t waste so much time on content creation for viral trends, as they can vanish quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>\u267b\ufe0f<\/strong> <strong>Evergreen Trends: <\/strong>These are trends that always come back like clockwork\u23f3. Back-to-school, New Year goal videos, and exam stress tips are some prominent examples of evergreen trends. All of them <strong>spike during specific time periods<\/strong> of the year. If you plan ahead, you can ride the wave every year with updated content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. \ud83d\udd0d <strong>Micro-Trends:<\/strong> These are small trends that happen within a specific niche. You can spot them from your particular niche communities in Telegram, WhatsApp, Reddit, etc. It could be the launch of a new app or a new iPhone beta update. Yes, it\u2019s not trending for the whole world, but huge within that group. And it will be way less competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Best Ways To Find Trending Topics on YouTube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1226\" height=\"813\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png.png\" alt=\"image showing the 6 best ways to find trending topics on YouTube in 2025, including using YouTube search, Google Trends, social media, and niche communities to grow views and subscribers.\" class=\"wp-image-184413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png.png 1226w, https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png-1030x683.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png-705x468.png 705w, https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png-450x298.png 450w, https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/best-ways-find-trending-topics-youtube-2025.png-600x398.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1226px) 100vw, 1226px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most \u2018gurus\u2019 give vague advice like check out your competitors and make similar content.

Unlike YouTube\u2019s built-in tab, this tool gives you trending videos across multiple countries, how long a video has stayed in the Trending tab, and all other such early signs of topics gaining momentum globally. You can filter them with categories like music, gaming, news, etc., to find trends that matter to you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best part is that you can pick any past date from a calendar to see what was trending on that specific day.

They just want to see what&#8217;s going on. But the <strong>real opportunity<\/strong> lies in reading the<strong> patterns<\/strong>. Check out some of the most common patterns and what they mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Small And Steady Climbs: <\/strong>These are emerging trends you can jump on early<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sudden spikes: <\/strong>Could mean a viral moment, trending news, or a popular product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drop-offs: <\/strong>Good for knowing when a trend is dying and not worth your time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can search for multiple related terms at once. Jot down those that are rising.&nbsp;\u2b06\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you figure out <strong>2-3 such trending keywords<\/strong>, compare them side-by-side to see which one is growing faster. You can also check the &#8220;Related queries&#8221; section for emerging subtopics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Monitor Year-on-Year Seasonal Spikes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, some topic searches spike during certain times of the year. \ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f You can utilize Google Trends to literally predict when topics will explode based on historical data. Have a look at how to do it:&nbsp;\ud83d\udc49<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Search your main topic with a 5-year timeframe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for patterns that repeat annually<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note the exact months when spikes occur<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check if the spikes are getting bigger or smaller each year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps you <strong>plan content ahead<\/strong> of time and publish before the spike hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Additional resources: In case you\u2019re new to Google Trends, check out this video by Gareth Lamb.

Or, it may even trigger a debate on X. It could hit YouTube only a few days later.

Study What\u2019s Working for Competitors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best parts of being a YouTuber today is that we\u2019ve got plenty of <strong>role models<\/strong>. Almost all niches have creators who\u2019ve already cracked the code with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/buy-youtube-subscribers\/\">thousands of subscribers<\/a> \ud83e\udd29.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best part is that these channels are <strong>open books<\/strong>. You can make use of their insights to create your own content strategy. Here\u2019s how to do it:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Pick 5\u201310 Channels in Your Niche<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Subscribe to the <strong>best content creators<\/strong> in your niche. And by best, we don&#8217;t mean only those with 500K+ subscribers. Make it a healthy mix with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A few big creators (500K+ Subscribers),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a few mid-sized channels (50K\u2013300K)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\u20132 small channels that are growing fast (under 50K but rising).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because big channels just show what\u2019s popular. Only <strong>fast-growing ones<\/strong> can <strong>reveal fresh content angles<\/strong> and newly trending topics that aren\u2019t saturated yet. You need all of them to grow your channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Use the \u201cMost Popular\u201d Filter<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to each channel&#8217;s YouTube homepage and click on the Videos \u25b6 tab. Now, sort by &#8220;Most Popular. \ud83d\udd1d&#8221; Check what type of titles, hooks, visual elements, and emotions they are using.

Before you hit <strong>record<\/strong>, ask yourself a few quick questions to see if it\u2019s the <strong>right trend<\/strong> for your channel. Here\u2019s a simple <strong>4-step filter<\/strong> to help you decide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Relevant to My Audience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because something is trending doesn\u2019t mean your viewers care about it. So, always ask yourself this question before posting every video: <strong>Will my audience expect this from me?<\/strong> \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you run a finance channel, suddenly posting about a viral dance trend might throw people off (unless you tie it back in a clever way).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Offer a New Angle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If 100 creators are already covering the trend the same way\u2026 why would someone click on <strong>yours<\/strong>? What\u2019s the point of wasting hours on that?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, make sure that you have some unique value or explanation to give, apart from other creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Have the Skill to Cover It?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some trends require <strong>subject knowledge<\/strong>. In case it\u2019s a complex AI tool trend and you\u2019ve never used AI before, take a pause. \u23f8\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either <strong>learn it first<\/strong> or just skip it and focus on something you can deliver <strong>confidently<\/strong> . Half-baked trend videos rarely perform well, especially when there are hundreds of so-called \u2018experts\u2019 out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Still Fresh?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Timing matters. \u23f0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the trend has already <strong>peaked<\/strong> and you\u2019re late to the party, your video might just get buried. So, always do proper research through Google Trends before jumping in \ud83c\udfc3\u200d\u2640\ufe0f. If the views are dropping fast, move on to the next trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-b73963f0e93f693c3a415e078e458fe3\" style=\"color:#fafafa;background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(43,82,118) 0%,rgb(95,138,178) 100%)\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) \u2753<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How often should I look for trending topics? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That depends on your niche. If yours is a <strong>trend-sensitive niche<\/strong> like <strong>News, Sports Transfers, Politics<\/strong>, etc., you should check <strong>daily<\/strong>. Otherwise,<strong> 2-3 weeks is fine<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Do Shorts and long videos follow the same trends? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, but not always. <strong>Shorts<\/strong> often move faster and favor <strong>quick humor<\/strong>, while<strong> long videos<\/strong> do better with <strong>depth<\/strong> \u2b07.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Is it okay to mix trending topics with my regular content? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, as long as it feels<strong> natural<\/strong>. Just make sure it still fits your niche and <strong>audience\u2019s interests<\/strong> \u2714\ufe0f.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Can I create a trend instead of following one? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, of course. You can start by brainstorming some unique ideas through competitor analytics data. Trends often <strong>begin with one bold and relatable video<\/strong>. But remember that it\u2019s much harder than utilizing an existing trend. Starting a trend is <strong>unpredictable<\/strong> and often involves a bit of luck .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Will using trending topics get me more views?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you have a much <strong>higher chance of reaching new audiences<\/strong> with trending topics because people are already searching for it. YouTube rewards \ud83c\udfc6 that momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. How can I find this month\u2019s trending topics?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the <strong>current month\u2019s trending topics<\/strong> using tools like Google Trends, Exploding Topics, and Reddit. Or, you can use LenosTube YouTube Trending Tool. It lets you filter by country\/category and go back in time with a calendar view to spot long-lasting trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, trending videos \ud83d\udcc8 are the best way to <strong>grow a channel from scratch<\/strong>. But it happens only if you know how to use them effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timing is just a factor. What matters the most is your ability to add a special value when everyone else is repeating the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So don\u2019t wait for a perfect trend. Stay prepared, and when the right topic shows up, make use of it without a doubt \ud83d\ude0a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s be honest.
