Know the rules of the hashtag:
Whether it’s Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Google Plus, you need to make sure that you are following their hashtag rules. Some of they may have additional rules but these are the most common hashtag rules which you must follow on all of these platforms:
- Do not hashtag in unrelated topics.
- Do not tweet without adding new information.
- Do not add spamming links in your posts.
- You can retweet other tweets but not all of them.
- If you are sharing a website, it should contain related information.
Choose the right topic on right time:
It is important that you are expert in the topic which you want to trend. If you failed to provide enough information about the trending topic, then it will die in no time. Also, make sure that you are posting on the right time. For example, the trend starts in the early morning has a very short life as compare to trends which get popularity at night. If you are targeting a specific country, then follow the time of that country when posting hashtags for trending purpose.
Start tweeting with a hashtag:
Once you know the right time to post, it’s time to start posting content with a hashtag. If possible, avoid adding the hashtag in the start or end of the tweet. A hashtag in between of the tweet is the most natural and have more chances to get public attention. Also, make sure that you are not spamming. Post about other things too while posting the tweet with your hashtag. Have a ratio of 5 by 1 (5 tweets about your hashtag and 1 something else).

This could be possible by searching related tweets and reply back to their questions or the opinion they have shared. Make sure to include your hashtag with this.
