I've just published a guest-post on using the Google Trends tool to identify potentially trending and soon-to-be trending concepts to create content. Link to blog post here:

Teaser: Any technically-excellent content related to "No deal brexit" is sure to a winner imo!

Nice post, but it's a good idea to compare what's trending with what's on the market already (as Sammy mentioned).

On a side note, I do find the monkey relevant in a way, just look at Boris Johnson.

Correction "No Deal Brexit" has around 300 images so not a bad idea for a concept afterall

Good comments above - thanks.

The monkey is, I suppose, is in some way related to Brexit since they're prominent in Gibraltar, which is part of the UK.

On an earlier draft I discussed "migrant caravan" and "recreational marijuana" as further potential trending keywords for the present and into the near-future.

I think its better to make and be the new trend then to just follow it.

You just have to use your creative skills, do the research and most importantly not be boring. So many people get into a rut.

That was a long blog all kinds of ideas, but I don't understand, where do you find the latest trending keywords on Google? Do you make them up or does Google show trending words? The reason AS has such a flat line is no editorial no news less trending keywords.

Yes, that's a good source...but mainly it has to do with what I'm regularly seeing featured in international news bulletins.

So when this kind of things come up, and you happen to have a photo of people hugging in the office. Would you go back to change your keywords to 'forced hugging'? Just an idea but not sure if that's worth it.

Re-keywording would work if it's related to anything sexual + unwelcoming (or it's spammy), otherwise better to create new content.

Thanks for the tip. I think I've a good one for the BIG topic.......anthropomorphic too! 'Course pelicans have nothing to do with UK but I just find its expression so 'expressive'!

Oh God, this Brexit saga is never-ending.
