If you put a '#' in front of any word or phrase
but to get it to trend requires many people to begin using that phrase or someone to promote it by paying, I dont believe there is any other way

Trending topics are a huge addiction on Twitter. Period. They’re like shots. You have one, and you want more, you can’t just stop at one. Okay, wrong example, but the thing is Trending topics can get you intoxicated.

Trending topics are user created hashtags that gets popular and if the volume is right get featured on Twitter’s list of most discussed topics. That’s a raw an unpolished definition.

Hashtags were popularized during the San Diego forest fires in 2007 when Nate Ritter used the hashtag “#sandiegofire” to identify his updates related to the disaster.

Trending Topics is sort of a wrong name for the thing in my opinion. It should rather be “Most discussed hashtags” or “Active discussion topics” or something, that’s more sensible and meaningful. Trending is probably the second nature. Like the “most discussed topic, which is getting some traction globally” – makes things more clear isn’t it ? Unfortunately, Twitter thinks “Trending Topics” is a more cool name, and I have to agree. So, when does a hashtag become a trending topic, and when does it make it to the top ? What can one do to make a topic trend on Twitter

Don't try. lol

Every single trending topic will be topped by those fake celebrity accounts with 100 thousand followers who all bought their followers. I know right? Who buys their followers? Pretty embarrassing.

Making a trend in Twitter is a challenge. You can create a trend by adding a "#" into a word or words (but making it a single term e.g #AprilFool), this is commonly known as hashtag in Twitter lingo.
