Trend Hunting For Fun And Profit
Niche marketing can be profitable, and that means it can also be competitive. One way to stand out from the competition is to keep moving forward. Often, niche marketers will set up a a site or two, submit a few articles, and then let it all run on ‘autopilot’. That isn’t wrong, but it is a little bit foolish.
It doesn’t matter what niche someone is on, new developments are happening all the time. And if you want to build a following of loyal customers, then it makes sense to keep on touch with what’s happening in your niche market. After all, your customers are interest in a topic means they want to be well-informed.
One of the sites I use when doing research for members at ProHotList is Trend Hunter. It shows things that are popular, or could soon be popular, across several different main categories.
The “Most Popular” page breaks down trends by the week, current, and previous months.
Any business that wants to get a glimpse into the possible future would do well to check out the Business, and Technology sections.
Some of the posts are definite PG-13, but all in all, it is an interesting site. It is one of over 70 sites ProHotList uses when researching new ideas for its members.
