Hashtags that prompt personal opinion are very popular, especially if they\u2019re funny or teach your followers more about who you are. Everyone likes to speak about themselves \u2013 use that in a strategic hashtag to get people to notice your business. Once the trend gains momentum, you can do a bit of PR about its success for additional exposure.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>#3: Don\u2019t Underestimate Incentives<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How do you get almost ten thousand Twitter users to use your hashtag in a tweet? Easy \u2013 promise them something for free. A large prize will get people tweeting your hashtag repeatedly, and the retweets will never end! Remember to make the entry easy, the prize something special and to spread it everywhere you can. These tweets have been known to go viral in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2709\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ThinkstockPhotos-488310782.jpg\" alt=\"ThinkstockPhotos-488310782\" width=\"2113\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ThinkstockPhotos-488310782.jpg 2113w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ThinkstockPhotos-488310782-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ThinkstockPhotos-488310782-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ThinkstockPhotos-488310782-1024x689.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2113px) 100vw, 2113px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>#4: Occasions Trend Often<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The next time Christmas, Halloween or Easter happens (or a famous celeb passes away) \u2013 use it to create a trending topic. There will be a lot of competition here for the most imaginative and user-friendly hashtag that will beat the rest \u2013 but it\u2019s totally worth it if you succeed. When something big is on the horizon, you can bet its going to trend on Twitter. The question is \u2013 will it be your hashtag?<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>#5: Finding the Appropriate Niche Market<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The creator of the hashtag #FollowFriday was a genius. He came up with a way to engage all Twitter users, every single Friday for all time! While these are the most difficult to create, you should always be thinking about it in the back of your mind. What do people in your niche obsess about? What does everyone need all the time? On specific days? Brainstorm! Include your community in the search.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2710\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/niche-market.jpg\" alt=\"niche-market\" width=\"820\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/niche-market.jpg 820w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/niche-market-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/niche-market-768x303.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Creating a Twitter trending topic can be good for exposure, but they are quite difficult to achieve and sustain. No one knows why a hashtag will trend, but this much is clear \u2013 it\u2019s not because all your friends used it, or because you used it 1000 times. Trends are genuine products of viral sharing. You can\u2019t force a trending topic, but you can certainly reach for it.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Also Read The Following:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.socioboard.com\/4-ways-to-create-hashtags-for-successful-twitter-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>4 WAYS TO CREATE HASHTAGS FOR SUCCESSFUL TWITTER MARKETING.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.socioboard.com\/4-tips-for-twitter-hash-tagging-for-your-new-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>4 TIPS FOR TWITTER HASH TAGGING FOR YOUR NEW CAMPAIGN.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.socioboard.com\/10-aspects-to-use-twitter-to-promote-your-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>10 ASPECTS TO USE TWITTER TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.socioboard.com\/3-ways-to-use-twitter-to-drive-foot-traffic-to-your-business-using-socioboard-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>3 WAYS TO USE TWITTER TO DRIVE FOOT TRAFFIC TO YOUR BUSINESS USING SOCIOBOARD TOOLS.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.socioboard.com\/3-ways-to-use-twitter-to-drive-foot-traffic-to-your-business-using-socioboard-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>TWITTER VIDEO PUBLISHING: WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/socioboard.com\/pricing\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5089\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.socioboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Socioboard-01-1024x194.png\" alt=\"Socioboard\" width=\"1024\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Socioboard-01-1024x194.png 1024w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Socioboard-01-300x57.png 300w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Socioboard-01-768x145.png 768w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Socioboard-01-1536x291.png 1536w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Socioboard-01-2048x388.png 2048w, https:\/\/socioboard.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Socioboard-01-1080x205.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating and exploiting a trending topic on Twitter is a great way to market a new product or service.
