Thanks, this is a good question!

I can't really answer how to get on the trending page, as according to my own knowledge, I have never been on it. But I can give you some pointers to succeed on Hive nevertheless.

The best strategy is to write about whatever is near your own heart, and try to make it as interesting you can. Try to imagine what kind of stories you yourself would want to read on Hive, and use that to your advantage.

Sometimes topics such as ones hobbies can be enticing enough.

The second thing you would want to do, is to post consistently. No matter whether you choose to post daily or weekly, or two times a week, it does not really matter. Choose a pace, and keep to it.

Grow your audience by interacting with them by answering their comments, and if you can, maybe even giving them small upvotes as an encouragement and thanks for their own engagement.

Don't get sad over downvotes! That will always happen. There are people who downvote from different reasons, and more often than not it doesn't feel good. But if you don't get discouraged by them, and just keep your schedule, they will eventually go away as your own audience grows.

I hope I was of some help.

Thank you for all these fine details.
