Happy Rakshabandhan to all of you!
As I promised to you I will come with a blog post on each subtitle of my previous blog “how to write better content “,
I am starting with finding the trending topics of content marketing,
In content marketing, there is a famous quote by Michael Brenner, a German Author
“Content marketing is more than a buzzword. It is the hottest trend in marketing because it is the biggest gap between what buyers want and brand produce”
I am just picking a keyword from the above quote “Hottest trend” so in this blog we will try to find out the 10 easiest ways to find that “Hottest trend”,
We will discuss with you in detail about each way from where you will be able to find the Hottest trend,
The ways of finding the “hottest trend ” are given below!
Google Trends

We will understand it by my own searches for “Investment”
My search term is the
IPO-Initial Public Offering
Mutual Fund
Crypto

The Google Trends for the last 5 years in India about investment, it is showing that People are more interested in IPO in comparison to the mutual fund and crypto
If I put these data in comparison of search volume then the number one will be

If you refine this search then you will be able to find out what people are searching for inside the IPO, these will provide you current trending topics for your content marketing,
Few other options are also available inside google for finding the trending topics

You can observe it by providing some search terms in google search, Whenever we provide some search terms or keywords in the google search then google provide some auto-suggestion from his own, on the basis of people previous searches,

I have just provided the keyword “Content Marketing” to the google search and it comes with a long list of what people used to search about content marketing like content marketing meaning, content marketing examples, content marketing strategy, etc.
The next one in Google Folders for finding the trending topics is
People also ask for
It is google own research for any particular keyword that google used to provide,
For that particular keyword,
Just see the below search image for the keyword “Content marketing”
Screenshot of Search result “People also ask”
Google provides these suggestions as “People also ask”,
If you give any search terms to google on the basis of previous searches, take the example of the above search for “Content Marketing”
It is providing the People also ask like What is examples of content marketing?
