I've never really been into trend riding, and I do my thing rather then trying to go with the flow so to speak. - If I notice that one billion people are starting to buy T-shirts tomorrow, then I'm not one of those guys who starts to sell T-shirts. I just stick with my things instead. And I know, perhaps I'm stupid but that's just how I am. I stick to my game instead of trying everything out there.

That being said, I thought I'd share this with you:
Trendspotting

I can't tell if this is of any real use for you people, but perhaps a few of you would appreciate this. - Let's hear what you all have to say about this.

Are you a trend rider?

When selling products like electronics or toys its almost Impossible not to follow trends. Me and my wife where silver power sellers on Ebay for 2 years and during this time we had to always stay on top of the new trends like Frozen, Zootopia, Angry Birds, ETC. I am the guy to follow trends and take advantage of everyone who is getting sucked in. This is one of the more popular ways to make money on ecommerce websites like amazon. If you are trying to drive traffic to your website i would say following trendy keywords and phrases are probably a good idea. I understand where your coming form though sticking to what you know and do best. Sometimes its ok to broaden your horizons a little bit though and dig into trends that people are going crazy about. Thanks for sharing great topic!

Hi Andre

Yes and No. I tried finding some trends and riding them and I got a few small successes which was cool and I really enjoyed it. The traffic surges that came were so cool. That said I was kinda knocking about in the dark because I didn't know how to find a trend or ride it.

Thanks for the article, I am going to check that out and see what I can learn about chasing trends.

I am not into changing my line of business or starting up a whole new website to ride a trend but I am interested in using trends to get some good traffic in. While I think this is not a great long term traffic solution like going for evergreen topics and keywords I do think that if I am writing regular content why not throw in some things that are trending every now and then to get some traffic in right?

Oh yes! I'm always in the look for news and new stuff developing! Not only google trends but news and articles in general, things that are happening in the SEO world, you need to be up to date with everything if you ever want to make it as a professional.

Otherwise, you just getting stale, in a couple of years you'll be so outdated it will be very difficult to retake that lost ground.
Also as Mike said, try becoming so good at what you are doing that you will be the one setting the trends!

There are trends that I chase for I know that they are going to be profitable to me. Also, there are those that I don't really care about when I discover that the profitability is nothing to write home about.

I am a conservative person so don't expect me to go with the tide. When drop shipping was kinda new, some friends were inviting me to be a seller. But I declined because for me it's not an enjoyable work. I would rather continue to write because that's where my heart is. Even with bitcoins as another trend, I am not into it because I don't believe in its stability as a currency.
