Incorporating trends into your social media strategy is the secret hack for growth and engagement. But as a busy business owner, you might not have hours – or even minutes – to scroll. That’s where I can help.

I’ve kept track of what’s going on across TikTok and Instagram Reels and compiled the three best social media trends for March. You’ll find a trend breakdown, links to the sound, and easy step-by-step instructions to help you recreate!

TikTok Trend: Do You Actually Wanna Do This Or Not?

🎵 Trending sound: Do You Actually Want To Do This?

A motivational podcast from speaker Jocko Willink has quickly become one of the biggest TikTok trends for March. Creators are pairing the dramatic audio “Do you actually wanna do this or not?” with trivial inconveniences, such as “when a customer orders something different from their regular.”

This trend is perfect for service-based businesses or retail workers with funny customer stories to share. The more your stories contrast with the scathing audio, the funnier it will be, so get creative!

How To Use This TikTok Trend

Click the linked audio and select “Use sound”
Lip sync to the audio “do you actually wanna do this or not” with a confused or frustrated expression
Add the text “Me when [insert client story].” For example:
- “When a client asks for my availability then stops replying”

Instagram Reel Trend: I Tripped But…

🎵 Use any trending Instagram audio

Tripping over is painful, but dropping your favorite drink in the process? That might hurt even more. Creators using the latest Instagram Reel trend for March seem to agree, as they share staged falls heroically saving their prized matcha latte.

This social media trend is an obvious choice for coffee shops and other beverage companies. But while the trend centers around matcha, it can be easily adapted to any accessory or beauty product.

How To Use This Instagram Reel Trend

Find a trending Instagram sound and select “Use audio”
Ask a colleague to stage a fall across a set of steps and scatter their belongings around them
Give them a drink, or another product to hold upright
Take a picture or the scene from above
Add the caption “POV: I fell but I saved my [insert product]”

Instagram Reel Trend: We Belong Together

🎵 Trending sound: Aperture, Harry Styles

Some combinations just work. Salt and pepper, bread and butter, mac and cheese. But what about people? This Instagram Reel trend for March celebrates the things creators can’t live without (along with a Harry Styles audio to ramp up the feel-good, of course).

Brands have been using this trend to speak directly to their target audience, saying “here’s what I create, if you like it you should follow!” This direct call out, combined with the visibility boost from trending audio, is a highly effective discovery method for businesses wanting to grow online.

How To Use This Instagram Reel Trend

Click the linked sound and tap “Use audio”
Compile around 10 images or short videos that clearly represent your products or services and content style, if you have one
To the start of the video, add the text “If you like [insert your products, aesthetic, or post types]”
As the audio changes to “We belong together” write the matching text out on the screen
