How do some people sell products, build apps, or make TikToks that ride a trend before it even becomes one? 🧵 One of the easiest ways to catch trends early is to use @explodingtopics. When they publish something, both big and small companies pay attention. Exploding Topics constantly monitors public data, analyzing large volumes of online content in real time: search queries, social media, forums, niche blogs, and product or startup databases like Product Hunt Using machine learning, it detects • fast growing keywords, even with low current volume • related topics starting to appear together across different platforms • sudden shifts in sentiment, usage, or geographic interest After the automated analysis, a human team • filters out false positives • removes short lived or irrelevant trends • tags and categorizes each trend by sector (tech, AI, beauty, etc) I’ve seen people make millions just by spotting trends early, from listing products on TikTok Shop months before they blew up, to launching apps around keywords no one was targeting yet, to posting in niches no one knew about.
