Viral TikTok Trends

ASMR

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) content is designed to elicit a tingling sensation that promotes relaxation and sleep. While it's been popular on YouTube for year, this trend has taken TikTok by storm, with creators finding increasingly inventive ways to trigger those tingles! And this just isn't reserved for ASMR artists - businesses can also use ASMR to showcase their products in action.

Tips for creating ASMR content:

• Invest in a good microphone: High-quality audio is crucial for ASMR, so most of the time your old-school headphone microphone won't do. You can grab a great deal on a basic vlogging microphone that will provide crisp, tingly sounds.

• Experiment with different triggers: Crinkling paper, tapping on objects, whispering, and slow movements are popular ASMR triggers. It may feel a little cringe at first but embrace it!

• Focus on visuals: Use close-up shots and soft lighting to enhance the sensory experience. ASMR is supposed to be relaxing after all!

Pack An Order With Me

This trend is popular with businesses, particularly those in e-commerce and the small business niche. Creators film themselves packing customer orders, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their business. This is great to try if you're camera shy because you don't need to show your face, just an overhead shot of your hands as you pack each order.

Tips for creating "Pack an Order With Me" content:

• Showcase your products: Use the opportunity to highlight the quality and features of your products.

• Add a personal touch: Thank the customer by name or include a handwritten note.

• Use trending audio: Select popular sounds or songs to make your video more discoverable.

Y2K and Early 2000s Nostalgia

Nostalgia for the Y2K era is huge on TikTok, with millennial creators recreating fashion, music, and trending moments from the early 2000s. If you're a millennial with a stash of clothes you wore in high school or a killer 2000s playlist, hop onto this trend right away! This would also be a brilliant trend for brands who sell Y2K inspired clothing or accessories as well as vintage sellers on Etsy and Poshmark.

Tips for creating Y2K nostalgia content:

• Raid your closet (or your parents'): Dig out those old band tees, low-rise jeans, and platform heels.

• Create a throwback playlist: Use popular songs from the era as your soundtrack. Now's your chance to relive your angst Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park phase!

• Embrace the aesthetic: Use filters and editing effects to recreate the grainy, low-fi look of early 2000s videos.

Pack Lunch With Me

Similar to the "Pack an Order With Me" trend, this one involves filming yourself packing a lunch for yourself, your partner or children. It's a great way to share meal prep ideas and promote healthy eating habits while potentially showcasing your products.

Tips for creating "Pack Lunch With Me" content:

• Keep it simple: Focus on easy-to-follow recipes and packing techniques, these kinds of realistic accounts tend to perform better. Salmon bagels everyday? Not in this economy!

• Show variety: Showcase different lunch ideas to keep your audience engaged and coming back for more.

• Use attractive containers: Presentation matters! Invest in some nice lunch boxes and containers as well as accessories like sandwich cutters, fruit shape cutters and so on.

Restock My Fridge/Pantry

This trend involves filming yourself restocking your fridge or pantry after a grocery haul. It's a visually appealing way to share your favorite food items and organization tips. If you run a business selling home organization goodies, this kind of content should form the backbone of your TikTok strategy.

Tips for creating "Restock My Fridge/Pantry" content:

• Clean and organize your space: Start with a clean and tidy fridge or pantry. Wipe down the shelves (another angle for businesses selling cleaning products) to get ready for the great restock.

• Showcase interesting products: Highlight unique or visually appealing food items or what you use to store them in. Most of these creators are making money off affiliate links to the storage containers they use in their videos.

• Use satisfying sounds: The sounds of jars clinking and items being placed neatly can be very satisfying to viewers.Videos focusing on these sounds without talking tend to perform better.

"I Like My Suitcase" Viral Soundbite

This trend uses a soundbite of Baron Trump saying "I like my suitcase" in his adorable Slovenian accent as a child and it's gone viral ever since the election. You can use this trend in a playful way to show off travel essentials or packing tips.

Tips for using the "I like my suitcase" soundbite:

• Be creative: Find unique ways to incorporate the soundbite into your video.

• Show off your personality: Let your sense of humor shine through.

• Keep it concise: TikTok videos are short, so get to the point quickly.

#WomenInMaleFields

This trend flips the script on traditional dating dynamics. Set to the tune of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" (or other popular tracks), women humorously portray themselves adopting stereotypically male behaviors in their dating lives, like ghosting or using cheesy pick-up lines. The trend provides a relatable and cathartic outlet for women to call out double standards in dating. This can extend to showcasing the strength of a female-led team in almost any business and the stereotypes they are smashing.

Tips for creating "#WomenInMaleFields" content:

• Embrace the humor: This trend thrives on irony and satire. Don't be afraid to be playful and over-the-top.

• Keep it relatable: Focus on common dating experiences that will resonate with your audience.

• Use the right soundtrack: Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" is the classic choice, but other empowering anthems work well too.

Things That Just Make Sense

We all have our quirks, and sometimes we don't even realize how relatable they are! This trend is all about showcasing those little habits, routines, or organizational methods that perfectly fit your lifestyle, even if they seem a bit unusual to others. Whether you're a mom of 7 who has mastered the art of packing lunches in record time, a teacher with a classroom organization system that would impress Marie Kondo, or an office worker with a strategically arranged desk for maximum productivity, this trend lets you share those "aha!" moments with your audience.

Tips:

• Set the mood with music: Most videos use the song "Che La Luna" for this trend.

• Show, don't tell: Use visuals to demonstrate your quirks and routines. For example, a mom might show her chaotic morning routine, while a teacher could showcase their color-coded classroom supplies.

• Keep it relatable: Focus on common experiences or challenges that your audience will connect with, like the struggle of keeping a tidy workspace or the chaos of getting kids ready in the morning.
