Trending Topics Into Sales
Most people have no idea how powerful trending topics really are.
They think you need a huge platform, a big name, or a news-level website to get traffic.
But here’s the truth:
If you publish even a simple blog post about a trending topic — the Super Bowl, a Kardashian headline, a breaking tech story, or anything the world is obsessing over — your site will get traffic.
Sometimes hundreds of visitors…
Sometimes thousands.
And this works even if your website is brand new or barely known.
Why?
Because when a topic is exploding, the demand is so massive that even smaller pages get pulled into the search stream.
People are refreshing their feeds, Googling updates, clicking anything that mentions the story. If you publish content at the right time, you get a slice of that flood.
Big publishers know this better than anyone.
Look at ESPN during the Super Bowl.
They literally have articles pre-written before the game even ends — final score included — so they can publish instantly. Sometimes they even push “final score draft articles” before the final whistle just to be first on Google.
Because being first to a trending topic equals massive traffic.
Traffic they turn into ad revenue, affiliate clicks, signups, and long-term readers.
But here’s what most people don’t realize:
**You can do the exact same thing.
And you can turn those trending topics into sales.**
This strategy works for blogs, YouTube channels, Instagram, TikTok, newsletters — everything.
It’s called newsjacking: taking a spike in public attention and bending it into your world so that you become part of the conversation.
Let me show you how simple this is.
Imagine you run a self-defense brand.
The Patriots just won the Super Bowl. The streets are packed, everyone’s celebrating, and a small fight breaks out — two people get injured.
You film a 20-second video that starts like this:
“Right after the Patriots won the Super Bowl last night, two fans ended up in the hospital after a street fight. And here’s the crazy part — both injuries could’ve been avoided with one basic self-defense principle…”
Now the viewer is locked in.
You just tapped into:
– a viral event
– a breaking story
– a real human moment
– AND tied it to your core expertise
Then you transition:
“Whether it's a championship celebration or just a normal night out, situations escalate fast. Here’s one simple thing you can do to protect yourself…”
You just used news to boost your message, educate your audience, and bring new eyeballs to your offer.
This is what creators, journalists, and big media companies do every single day.
The difference is you can tie it directly into your product, which means every trend becomes an opportunity for traffic, leads, and revenue.
Most people think sites like U.S. News exist to “publish articles.”
Wrong.
They exist to capture attention and redirect it into monetized funnels.
Each news article is a magnet pulling in traffic — millions of visitors per month.
Inside each article?
Links to credit card partners, real estate companies, college programs, financial institutions, and insurance brands.
They ride the wave of trending news…
→ capture attention…
→ then route people into high-value lead funnels…
…all while the reader thinks they’re just consuming news.
You can do a lean version of this with your own brand.
You don’t have to guess what’s trending.
Tools like:
– Google Trends
– Exploding Topics
– AnswerThePublic
– Feedly
– Twitter (X trending tab)
…show you exactly what the world is talking about — in real time.
Your job is simple:
Pick a trend that relates (even slightly) to your niche.
Create content fast — a blog post, a TikTok, an Instagram Reel, a YouTube Short.
Clipfy.app was created to make short for content almost instantly around trending topics.
BlogStorm - was created to help produce blog content with AI
You can also create a whole article based website in conjunction with your brand on Buildwithos.com
Always tie the story back to your offer so new viewers understand who you are and what you sell.
Repeat.
The key is not to become a “news page.”
The key is to become a creator who rides the news wave to drive attention to your business.
When you start weaving your content into trending stories:
– You get more reach than your competitors.
– You show up in search results you never targeted.
– You attract new audiences who
wouldn’t have discovered you otherwise.
– And you train the algorithm that your content is relevant and timely — which boosts all your future posts too.
This is one of the easiest ways to get free traffic today.
Most creators never use it.
But the ones who do?
They don’t just stay relevant — they become impossible to ignore.
