What’s your Secret Social Media Trick?
Posted by on September 4, 2025 at 9:08 pmHey y'all!
I’m an Influencer/SMM, and I thought it’d be fun to make a post where we can all share our insider tips and shortcuts that make social media creation/management just that little bit easier. (Naturally, I’ll go first!)
For me, when I’m looking for the latest trends, I've found the fastest way to stay on top of what’s popping in the moment is to hop on TikTok, look up 'FYP' in the search bar, sort the videos by likes and filter them to only show posts from the previous day and/or past week. From there, I'll scroll through the first 15 videos and I've already got a gauge of the most viral sounds/trends of the week.
What's your secret tip?

It’s not going to be a secret if you share it..

How do you come up with original content ideas? Or are you saying you simply parrot the trends and, therefore, your “creativity” is merely a form of mimesis?

Lowkey, automating captions/hashtags has been a lifesaver for me — frees up time to focus on visuals and trend-hopping instead of wordsmithing.

I use Answerthepublic.com to research topic ideas and then reverse engineer the posts. Example: fertility tea brand. Enter “fertility tea” on ATP and browse real questions like is “how often do you have to drink fertility tea for it to work?” I then create a post with thousands of tea cups with text overlay that reads “just one cup a day” and then write copy in the brand voice. Hope this helpful! ❤️

I think the best trick is keeping it simple and finding ways to save time while still getting reach, sometimes it’s less about chasing every trend and more about using small boosts from things like crescitaly to give your content a push so you don’t burn out trying to do it all manually.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS, generate captions in tiktok or instagram. I always generate on capcut cause it looks nicer. But then When I upload to tiktok or instagram I also generate captions and swipe it off the screen, so it enhances SEO

The amount of people who don’t want to spend TWO minutes looking at the “what’s hot/trending” sections of socials is infuriating 😩 I’m tired of people asking what buzzwords and hashtags to use. Like bro I’m happy to share techniques with you but if you aren’t doing the bare minimum yourself I’m not gonna do the rest for you.

I repurpose everything. One long YouTube video = 3 reels, 5 tweets, a LinkedIn post and a blog. Way easier than starting from scratch each time.
-
post when your audience is most online, 90% of reach is timing, not hashtags.
-
This did not work for me, not sure why
-
When I’m researching competitors or finding content inspo on Instagram, I automate grabbing their top performing posts and stats so I can spot patterns without endless scrolling.

Ignore what the app is pushing you to do if it’s not something you think works for you personally

Tons of folks already said it or something similar, but: using the platform itself rather than specialized tools to figure out hashtags that are popular or trends going on. This goes for socmed, but also for Google and other search platforms.
