Article Marketing - Follow the Hot Trends


Any time that you run out of ideas for your article writing, all you have to do is turn on the television and watch the news. Find out about what is going on around the world. A good way to write an article that will capture the attention of your readers is to tie it in with popular events or personalities. This helps because you are extending the conversation that is already occurring in the reader's mind.

You can try to work the name of the event or the person into your article title, for example, "How To Market Yourself Like Donald Trump" or "Lessons About Bad Publicity That You Can Learn From Britney Spears". If you do this, make sure that your article is actually related to the title. Otherwise you will lose credibility. A catchy title is always effective to entice the reader to read the rest of your article.

Google Trends

So how do you track down these hot trends? On of the sites I like to visit to get a pulse on the most popular topics of the day is Google Trends (google.com/trends). If you click on the link for "hot trends" you will be able to see daily trends based on what people are searching for on the internet. Most of the time you will see a lot of celebrities and current events that are in the news.

Use BlogSearch

Once you have identified a hot trend, you can find out more by checking in on what bloggers have to say about it. You can do this by searching through Google's BlogSearch (blogsearch.google.com). Just type in the search term and you can sort the results by the time span in which the posts were published. If something is really popular, you can even search for posts that are published within the last hour.

Once you have identified the the topic you want to write about, using BlogSearch is a good way to scan through what others are saying about it. Then you can apply your own perspective to come up with your original article. Be sure to include a resource link to your website so that the reader can get more information by signing up to your email list.

If your article happens to rank well in the search engines, your effort will pay off nicely. You will start to see a stream of free traffic coming from the search engine results. A little bit of leg work and some effort you put into writing the articles will translate to residual traffic over time as long as your article is ranked in the search engines.

Frills and Ruffles Are This Years Hot Trend


This season it is easy to spot one of the hottest styles, just look to the feet. There are so many shoes adorned with layers upon layers of ruffles and flowers. You will see the frills on ballet flats to boots to the highest of heels. These ruffles and flowers add the needed punch to any outfit without being over the top. Go out and buy a great pair (or two) of frilly shoes and wear them with the all of the clothes in your closet.

If you are looking for a simple basic flat but need some detail besides perhaps a basic bow, then you might be interested in French Sole Season ballet flats. The Season is an update of their ever popular Sloop shoe but with more detail. These wonderful ballet flats come in many colors are adorned with a multi layer flower that is the same color of the shoes so it adds the needed subtle punch to the shoes. It works with so many outfits and the frill will not overpower any of them.

Have you found the perfect little black dress for this season's holiday parties and are looking to make your statement with a great pair of heels? Elizabeth & James, one of the hottest growing shoe lines, makes one of my favorite shoes for the season. Their Risky Ruffle suede pumps have frills in both the front and the back of the shoe so you will be noticed from any direction. The ruching in the front with small suede covered buttons draws the eye down, and once you turn around it is hard not to see the delicate ruffles featured.

If you are looking for a great pair of heels with a little more edge though, then the Report Dante Zip Edge Sandals is what you are looking for. These sexy satin heels have close to a 5 inch heel and have a zipper edged organza feature in the front. These shoes are the perfect balance of the feminine satin and the rocker zipper edge. You will not go wrong with these shoes and they will be a great conversation starter no matter the place.

Hot Trends For Fall 2010


With fall right around the corner, it's time to gear up and find the newest trends of 2010. This year's fall fashion collection will consist of all sorts of gemstone jewelry, more silk scarves, classic cardigans and tuxedo jackets. Of course leggings will be a hit once again as well. Fall fashion is the best time of year as we get to dress with layers as the weather cools off.

It's quite common that fashionable women ramp up for the new season with buying a whole new wardrobe. However, I believe in buying a few pieces that really make a statement but can be worn in many different ways. Read on for some ideas of how to make use of this fall's hottest pieces.

Let's start with scarves. Scarves can be used in a number of different ways while keeping you warm. Scarves are made with many different materials including silk, cotton, cashmere and more. The same scarf can be worn in several different ways and depending on how you wear the scarf can completely change the look.

Since scarves come in all sorts of designs using different textures, they can look great with any style. It's an easy way to layer up and get some warmth. If you're going for the edgy look, then you'll want to go for the loose look around the neck. This basically says you didn't have to try to make it look good! It should be held together through a loop, but keeps it looking funky.

For a cleaner and more sophisticated look, it can be worn to represent a tie. This is a great option for an event or even a business meeting.

Now let's touch on tuxedo jackets as these are one of my favorite pieces. I'm so glad they're back in style! I'm also a fan of boyfriend jeans, so to no surprise I love the tuxedo jacket for women. The tuxedo jacket gives every lady an extremely sexy, yet sophisticated look. Since the tuxedo jacket is a tailored look, this can be worn in several different ways.

It can be dressed up for an evening out or it can be worn in the office. It all depends on what you wear it with. Nobody would wear a boyfriend jacket to work, but since this is a more tailored and chic option, you can definitely pull it off. The jacket would look best with slim pants and black high heels. Under the jacket you can wear several different options, including a blouse. For an edgy look, wear the jacket with a pear of skinny jeans and a funky t-shirt.

Now that falls right around the corner make sure you go and find some of these essentials. You'll feel great wearing your tuxedo jacket or beautiful scarf!

Wheatgrass - Hot Trend For Health, Beauty and Profitability!


Wheatgrass is a healthy super food that has been used traditionally in cultures around the world. Today, research scientists and medical doctors are praising its disease-fighting, age-defying properties. Wheatgrass juice has become the trendy new way to keep illness and old age at bay. There is a strong commercial potential in the small scale growing of wheatgrass. It can be grown on a large scale in special growing sheds with controlled lighting and other desired conditions. Most health shops would welcome a regular supply of fresh wheatgrass.

Young wheatgrass shoots are extremely vital. Wheatgrass is a complete whole-food with enzymes, amino acids, phytochemicals, vitamins and chlorophyll working in perfect harmony to help rid the body of toxins and creating overall good health. Wheatgrass juice is made from the young blades of the wheat plant. It can be expressed in a wheatgrass juicer, or the grass can be blended in a blender with water (raw honey, edible flower, etc. Are optional) and strained to make a refreshing, nutritional drink. And it is not only the juice that makes wheatgrass worth its title of "green-gold". Derivatives of wheat are currently being used in many cosmetic houses because of their antioxidant and vitamin E properties. These and other properties in wheat, and especially wheatgrass, are powerful allies in the fight against aging skin.

Wheatgrass - what is it? Wheatgrass is sprouted wheat kernels that have been allowed to grow to 7 inches for 7 to 14 days (depending on warmth), either indoors or outdoors in trays or in the open ground. Wheatgrass is easy to grow. Soak a few cups of wheat kernels in water for about 12 hours, strain the seeds and spread them gently on top of trays (with holes in the bottom) containing organic compost. Spray softly with water, and cover with cardboard or board. Water a little everyday, keeping the germinating seeds covered until you see the young shoots emerging. Now place the trays uncovered, in a protected light/shade spot. Continue watering for a further 7 to 14 days. Your wheatgrass is ready for harvest!

An important by-product of wheatgrass production is the wheatgrass mat. When wheatgrass is cut down to the roots for use, the mat with its developing root-system can be used to great effect for promoting the fertility of the soil in any part of the garden. It is valued for revitalizing dead soil. It can be used on sites such as abandoned mines and areas of soil erosion. This material goes to work aerating the soil and introducing a friendly microbial population of earthworms. The soil becomes balanced, and reflects a good acid/alkaline ratio, improving 'moist bulk density', and providing important nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous, in organic form.

The production of 'live' soil is profitable! Market your own... Composting gains you almost 4 times in direct, quantifiable benefits for every $, ?, etc. you invest.

'Live' soil feed plants organically in a balanced way. Quality organic humus is cheaper (if you make your own), and safer than chemical fertilizers and supports long-term soil fertility.

The only way you will learn which affiliate or Pay Per Click program (Like Google AdSense), to use with any given hot trend is by actually using them, testing them and keeping track of your testing.

The reason no one could possible teach you exactly which affiliate program will be best for which hot trend is the trends change in real time and the affiliate programs vary so much, as to the variables within each plan it is almost impossible to match the perfect affiliate, PPC or even CPA program with a hot trend. You will learn to develop and use your own judgment. However if you stick with these basic programs you can still make good money.

Become an Online Casino Affiliate Marketer: Cashing in on a Hot Trend


The World Wide Web is a virtual realm full of opportunities to make real money. One of the easiest and risk free ways of doing this is to join an affiliate marketing program. Whilst it may sound like a daunting or even a strange idea, but you can turn clicks on your page into cash in your pocket. In exchange for bringing in customers by way of the links on your website, other sites and businesses are willing to reward generously. One of the most rewarding of these is the online gaming sector and more potently virtual casinos.

The online casino industry is thriving at the moment as it has been for some years now. From a simple conversion from real life to virtual realm, there has surfaced a multi-billion dollar industry. As in any large industry be it offline or online there are always huge amounts of competition for the customers. Thanks to the portability of the Internet and its accessibility, the online casinos can draw in thousands of players to join up and spend money. With a whole new generation reaching 18 everyday there is a never-ending potential market for the online casinos. In some ways people may label them exploitative, but in truth they are actually providing a service, something that clearly interests a great number of people. Each and every day sites coax in new players, offering huge sign-up bonuses and other deals. But without the hundreds of affiliates they employ, the casinos would no doubt falter.

You see as an affiliate, you can effectively turn your site into a shrine dedicated to your adverts or just have them as peripheral apparel; it's up to you. Depending on how you market both yourself and then the links, you can become a successful affiliate businessperson or simply earn a little bit of cash on the side. There is no doubt though that picking the right industry for your site is one of the key underlining factors in becoming a successful affiliate. If you back an industry that is flagging or has only a niche market, probability suggests that attracting customers to those sites will be increasingly difficult. Therefore assign yourself to an affiliate program with the huge potential power of online casinos, and you and your site could soon be reaping the benefits of a healthy monthly pay package.

The real joy of affiliate marketing is that there is no real risk involved. As long as you have some webspace and a little bit of text you can become an affiliate. The only sign up that you need to do is with an affiliate forum who acts as a kind of go-between for the casinos and affiliates, or just going straight in and finding the sites you want to represent themselves. You don't even need to do any of the advertising, most affiliate programs will give you a range of marketing tools unique to your site to help bring in and locate the customers you have bought to a site. Once you have signed up all a website owner needs to do is sit and wait for the clicks to come, and then for the clicks to turn into cash. Affiliate marketing truly is a revolutionary form of advertising it offers every person on the Internet a cut of the action. But best of all in casino affiliate programs a website owner can earn a percentage of all the money a player they draw in creates. All this for no up front investment and little or no effort, it really is a simple and successful way to make money.

Easy Money Guide Using Proper Keyword Research and Google Hot Trends


Currently, many people are thinking about starting their own online business. Usually they dive straight into a never-ending search for a great business idea and read lots of "how to" articles that will probably never work for them.

Before you do anything that will just waste your time and resources, remember that in general people have diverse interests. You could say that women are usually more interested in beauty topics, whereas men typically prefer topics related to gadgets and technology. This generalization is a simplistic way of showing the variation in the public's areas of interest, but realizing this can help your research.

If you want to earn money online, you should start by researching and choosing keywords that are popular on sources like Google Hot Trends. Choosing a niche and making a site that caters for the interests of a highly motivated group of online readers who are passionate about their niche will help you get visitors to your site to find out more information about their interests. If you can accomplish this you can hopefully at some stage convert them to customers, or at least they may click on one of your affiliate ads and you can make money that way.

However, to gain the full benefit of keywords and niches that are associated with today's hot trends, you must set aside your own prejudices towards any particular topic, staying within the law of course. You have to come up with topics that will actually pay off, even if you have no interest in them.

To find out whether a hot trend is significant enough to be used in your projects or not, avoid making biased decisions during your keyword selection. In spite of the hot trend's subject matter, do not allow your own views and opinions to confuse you as you evaluate its potential to make money.

Let us use the following scenario as an example: You may not like teen pop music, and absolutely hate country music. You may also not be fond of blonde bimbos who become rich and famous just because of their looks. Since you are not a fan of these "entertainers," you do not usually pay attention to any news regarding blonde bimbo country singers. On the other hand, millions of their audience members are very interested to read every news and gossip article concerning their daily lives, this means that the search engines will be flooded with searches that are related to them.

If you write a blog about a hot trend and the blog has monetized items or ads, there is a big chance that some of your visitors might buy your monetized items or even click on your sponsored ads, and you will then earn money from it.

Of course, these ideas might not seem thrilling to use as part of your site's content, but you cannot deny the fact that they work given the right research. Making use of hot trends, you can take passive traffic from search engines and then turn it into profit.

You can of course always choose a topic that does interest you, and use it in your marketing projects. You can also drive traffic to your blog by voicing your own negative opinions on a hot trend, and as long as your post is carefully thought out, well written, conveys a logical argument and stirs up controversy, your web traffic has the possibility to increase, even if people disagree and want to argue with you. Though this method carries some risk, there are many people who have made lots of money voicing their controversial opinions.

Google Money Online Using Google Hot Trends


In online marketing, being able to spot a keyword trend is important for your business. You need to be able to decipher what topics stir up interest in people before everyone else does, and use them before your competitors do.

To be successful in recognizing future trends, you must be able to gauge what trends are worth investigating. Most trends usually start off small but they tend to become more and more popular as people increasingly talk and write about them. A number of trends may be big today, but before you know it they are gone, whereas others may not be the number one trend you investigate, but they stay around much longer. If you try and make money with every new rising trend, you will be wasting your time and effort, you need to be able to distinguish between the trends that will bring in profit to your business and attract more visitors to your site, and the ones that may look good on the surface, but will not do much for your bank balance in the long (or short) run.

However, understanding the behavior of the Internet users who make these trends popular may seem unrealistic at first. As luck would have it, Google provides a tool that is not commonly used by the average Internet user called Google Trends. Since Google facilitates around 70% of all searches on the Internet, Google Trends is definitely a useful tool in studying keywords and trends. Google Trends is provided by Google to aid Webmasters in observing keyword search volume, users can enter up to five sets of keyword phrases and Google will produce a line chart presenting the comparative volume trend over the last two years. This research also garners other information such as City, Regional and Language comparisons. Using the information from these graphs, a marketer can analyze any Google trend to see what is hot and what is not, and for how long.

In my opinion, Google Hot Trends would be better named Hot Fads or Hot Micro-Trends since the word trend was originally perceived as something that became popular within the mainstream of society or popular culture over a long period of time, or a series of events that has some force and stability, but who really cares what it is called, as long as it works?

Sometimes people do and believe things just because other people do and believe the same things also. People tend to follow the crowd without examining the merits of a particular thing, this phenomenon is called the "bandwagon" or "cromo" effect.

You can use this fact to make money with almost no sales effort, while receiving income from people who are interested in a specific fad or micro-trend, or who just simply "jumped on the bandwagon".

Using the One Hour Day Job Hot Trends system and researching popular keywords, you can take full advantage of what the public is interested in and establish an Internet presence and build an authority site on the topic. As the trend gets bigger, more people will hop on the bandwagon, giving you more opportunities to make money.

In a nutshell, when the bandwagon effect gets a buzz going online, with the right training you can spot these micro-trends and hook on to them before the competition, and make an easy passive income.

Going Out of Business - Hot Trends in the Business World


Many stores used to operate under the premise of closeout deals or 'going out of business' sales. However, the sad truth of today's economy is that many businesses ARE going out of business and needing to get rid of their inventory and employees. The business world isn't doing anything notable as of late, or at least nothing that is more notable than the number of people who are losing their jobs and finding that they are unable to get another one. It's really tough for many people to deal with, and definitely the main cause of all the stress-related accidents and violent crimes that have been going on for the past year.

It takes a toll on many people in ways that you might not imagine. Some people are so defined by their careers and their positions that they simply fall apart when their job is lost, leaving them with nothing more than a depressed life of despair. Some are much easier able to pick themselves up and get back on the horse, but the economy is running out of horses for people to get back on.

Going out of business used to be uncommon in the world, and only for small stores and businesses that didn't set themselves up right. Now you hear and see stories about big-name companies going out of business, companies like GM filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy, and the banks of the U.S. asking for government money so that they don't fall apart, either. It's all very disheartening, but it can get better, and eventually it will. It's easier said than done, but ultimately you need to try to keep a positive attitude about things as best you can so that you don't become another person with a pessimistic attitude about the economy.

All that people can do is trust that eventually things will get better, and hope that this happens sooner rather than later. People don't need to lose any more jobs, and the U.S. doesn't need to lose anymore businesses. There are so many great companies out there hanging on by a thread, and it's a constant fear for employees not knowing who's going to be next on the chopping block. If you are working for a company that is on the edge, or have already been a victim of the economy, you can trust that in time, things will work out. There are a few jobs out there to be found for those who are looking, but only if they are willing to accept whatever they can get.

Top Jobs, Top Career Fields - Hot Trends For the Next Decade


Unless you've been living in a nuclear fallout shelter for the past year and a half, you know that we're all living in a brave new world. What was once up (a.k.a. the stock market) is now down, what was down (a.k.a. mortgage rates) is now up. So what does this mean for you and your future? Don't worry. Change means, among other things, new growth and new job opportunities. There are plenty of great jobs out there, and we'll be the ones to help you find them.

After doing some homework, we've put together the following criteria (concerning jobs, industries, and training) to help you decide what career will be best for you not just tomorrow, but for the next decade.

Top Jobs

Want to know which jobs are growing so fast you practically need to pull out your fire extinguisher to cool them off? Take a look at the following list of top 30 jobs put together by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS):

? Biomedical engineers

? Network systems and data communications analysts

? Home health aides

? Personal and home care aides

? Financial examiners

? Medical scientists (excluding epidemiologists)

? Physician assistants

? Skin care specialists

? Biochemists and biophysicists

? Athletic trainers

? Physical therapist aides

? Dental hygienists

? Veterinary technologists and technicians

? Dental assistants

? Computer software engineers, applications

? Medical assistants

? Physical therapist assistants

? Veterinarians

? Self-enrichment education teachers

? Compliance officers, except agriculture, construction, health and safety, and transportation

? Occupational therapist aides

? Environmental engineers

? Pharmacy technicians

? Computer software engineers, systems software

? Survey researchers

? Physical therapists

? Personal financial advisors

? Environmental engineering technicians

? Occupational therapist assistants

? Fitness trainers and aerobics instructors

So how does the BLS figure out which jobs will be growing the fastest not just next year, but all the way through 2018? In the November 2009 issue of the Monthly Labor Review where the study results were originally published, author Kristina Bartsch explains they look at a number of factors, including which sectors of the economy will grow (such as the service-providing industries), which sectors will shrink (such as goods-producing sectors), and what kind of vacancies will be created as the workforce ages, retires or changes careers. Best of all? Bartsch says that, of the 30 jobs listed above, many have fewer educational or training requirements. (Being a personal trainer, for example, does require certification, but not necessarily a bachelor's in kinesiology.) This means you don't have to get take out more student loans and get another degree to work in one the future's top jobs.

Top Fields

Ok, so now we know which jobs are growing the fastest. But if you're not into one of the 30 jobs listed above, there's still hope. You can look at the industries that are booming and watch for your dream job to pop up in that sector. For example, if you're a communications director and you know that health care is an industry that's leading the pack, you can look for communications positions at hospitals, medical research facilities, health care groups-anything related to the healthcare industry.

Some of the tried-and-true favorites include (you guessed it) health care, technology, and education. These industries always seem to be growing, to the point that some call them recession-proof. But with the Department of Labor's (DOL) January 6 announcement regarding $100 million in Energy Training Partnership Grants, you can factor green jobs in that equation too. (By the way, that $100 million is in addition to $55 million given in November 2009, all as part of the Recovery Act. The Department of Labor expects to release funding for two remaining green grant award categories over the beginning of 2010.)

The DOL also listed the following among the fastest-growing industries through 2018:

? Management, scientific, and technical consulting services

? Individual and family services

? Home health care services

? Specialized design services

? Personal care services

? Outpatient, laboratory, and other ambulatory care services

? Facilities support services

? Software publishers

? Independent artists, writers and performers

? Local government passenger transit (CTA, anyone?)

? Scientific research and development services

? Waste management and remediation

? Community and vocational rehabilitation services

Top Trends in Training

If you're in school, going back to school, or thinking about going back to school, now's a great time to fine-tune your training. According to Dianna Middleton's Wall Street Journal article "Landing a Job of the Future takes a Two-Track Mind," companies will soon be looking for candidates with not just a vertical skill set, but a horizontal one. Traditional degrees, like computer engineering, will need to be paired with study or experience in emerging fields, such as online marketing or social media. In other words, those top-dog systems analysts may also need to know how manage their company's Twitter accounts, and veterinary technicians may need to be crossed trained in data entry and system management. So if you're pursuing a degree, consider taking a few classes in a new and emerging field that will help boost your resume and your skill set.

The point is that there are lots of opportunities out there, and not just to make a few bucks, but to find a career that you love and that will fit your lifestyle.

Religious Icon Jewelry a Hot Trend!


I visited the Long Beach Flea Market and Antiques Fair in Long Beach, California today and was immediately struck by a young man wearing a rosary bead necklace around his neck. (I just saw Justin Combs, P Diddy's son, wearing one on a TV show just an hour before that).

After walking into the event, I was immediately attracted to a table featuring Rosary Beads, Religious Charm Bracelets, Religious medals and many other Religious articles which apparently were selling quite well. I also did see this type of product at other stations within the Flea Market. In speaking with the proprietress, I learned that many of the Rosaries are of Bohemian Czech Glass and are being created in Bohemia by a very special family.

The Religious jewelry theme trend has been rearing its head for several seasons, and it was very strongly represented in the European Department and Specialty stores, especially in Paris as early as 2006.

I was visiting Paris to attend the Bijorcha jewelry show and spent some time shopping and scouting out trends featured by the Parisian jewelry designers. I came back from that trip with many ideas which were later incorporated into my collection for Jewelbox Designs.

Over the course of the last few weeks, I have come across several other young men wearing Rosary Beads around their necks. I tend to believe this trend will gain momentum into Spring, and we may see another rebirth of "Madonna Style" from the 80's as we approach the Fall 2010 Fashion Season.

New Hot Trends in Handmade Card Making For Autumn 2009


There are two new trends in handmade card making emerging at the moment - using A6 sized cards, and faux embossing.  And the biggest benefit of these new trends is that they will not cost you any money - in fact they will save you money in your card making! And in the current economic climate we can all do with saving a few pennies.

The first emerging trend is the size of cards. Recently large A4 cards have been in trend. Personally I was not a big fan of large cards, so I am extremely pleased that A6 cards are making a comeback! I've always been a fan of A6 cards and they are my preferred choice. An A6 sized card is still versatile, and it can have the complexity of larger cards. But, in my opinion, A6 cards can have a simple elegance that you simply cannot achieve with an oversized card. Posting A6 sized cards in the UK is also much easier and cheaper that A4 sized cards, even if they are heavily layered or decoupaged. The other huge benefit of smaller A6 cards is that need less materials to make them - smaller pieces of backing paper, smaller bits of card or paper for matting and layering, and smaller toppers. So not only will your cards look fantastic, but they will cost you less to make!

The second hot trend that you're going to be seeing a lot of is faux embossing. Basically, this is flat paper that looks like it has the texture and interest of embossing. And as with any new trend, buying the materials is never going to be cheap! But I have a few ideas to enable you to achieve your own faux embossing. Therefore you can save a bit of money, and also be ahead of the trend!

Most handmade card makers use embossing techniques on their cards sometimes. There are two main types of embossing - dry embossing and heat embossing. I'm not going to go into detail about how to achieve these two effects here. If you search the web you'll find lots of advice and tips. For the purpose of this article I'm going to presume that you are already an accomplished embosser!

How to achieve faux embossing can be described in a couple of paragraphs! It really is that simple. Without the need to go to the shops or order anything from the internet you can have made your first faux embossed card with an hour!

First you need to take a piece of paper. The first time I tried this technique I just used a cheap piece of coloured photocopying paper. I used the dry embossing technique to emboss the whole piece of paper. I used my Fiskars Shapeboss because that is what I had to hand! Once I had embossed the whole sheet (just as I would do to make a sheet of embossed backing paper), I used my all-in-one printer, scanner and photocopier to make a coloured photocopy of my embossed sheet. The printed image shows the embossing! And you have a faux embossed sheet of backing paper! That's it. It really is that simple. I also scanned in a copy of the image to store on my computer so I can easily use it again in the future, without having to emboss another sheet of paper. Give it a try - you'll be surprised how effective this technique is.

Internet Marketing Tips - Hot Trends For Instant Cash


Internet marketing is a great thing. You can literally make a fortune overnight with the right product. Okay, maybe not overnight, but pretty quick if you know what you're doing. And one of the best ways to find out what's hot and what to jump on is with Google Hot Trends. If you're not familiar with this bit of genius, I'm going to give you the two cent tour in this article.

Okay, so what is Google Hot Trends? Well, to put it simply, every hour, Google puts up a chart of the 100 hottest searches on the Internet. These are the things that people are really looking for. Now, the topics vary greatly. They can range from celebrity sightings to new technology to war breaking out. Hot Trends covers it all and the wonderful thing about it is that you never know what is going to be hot and for how long.

So how can we use this to capitalize on our marketing? Well, the best way to explain this is with an example. Just recently, a hot trend was on a new video game that was coming out. It was supposed to be one of the biggest releases of the year. So naturally, gamers were going to be looking for it. This was a perfect opportunity for a marketer to set up a site or maybe even a blog revolving around the release and then sell copies of the game through whatever affiliate program was making it available to marketers. Because the game was brand new, this was a perfect opportunity to take advantage of it because of the lack of competition in this area.

Some trends are easier to monetize than others. For example, some trends that revolve around political events such as wars are going to be hard to monetize since there is no product to sell or any way to get any income from it, such as with AdSense. So the key to using Hot Trends is to know WHAT Hot Trends to look for and how to go about monetizing them.

In my signature is a great resource that can help you master Hot Trends. I think you'll find it most helpful.

So hop on over to Google Hot Trends today and take a look at the site. I think you'll find it most interesting.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim

What Makes A Hot Trend?


According to Travis Sago, it all starts with an "event". Such as when a new product is released.

Then people start writing and talking about it. And blogging about it. And making videos. And there are news releases.

By about that time, it has become a trend with 'buzz'.

It's a marketer's dream... but ONLY if he knows about it.

So HOW do you find these hot niches?

One tool you can use is Google Trends. In a video I've just seen at YouTube, Travis shows how he uses Google.com/trends and he gives several examples.

EXAMPLE 1.

Type in terms such as 'deer hunting, duck hunting, bow hunting' and the trends software compares the volume of search activity for those 3 terms.

You'll see that hunting is seasonal, so the line that represents search volume for these terms has ups and downs on a seasonal basis.

In a line at the bottom of the chart is the news volume for these keywords.

EXAMPLE 2.

Breast feeding has a much more consistent search volume. The line is not going up, but it plugs along at a consistently solid volume.

EXAMPLE 3.

Antique tractor is another example. He likes it better!

EXAMPLE 4.

Blogging. Now that's hot these days. So he put in a bunch of related terms such as... wordpress, blog, blogging, blogger, video blog.

And just as you'd expect, there is a RISING trend line. Great, because a growing demand is the IDEAL marketing situation.

Now... the question is 'what can you market to this growing niche crowd?'

LIKE TO SEE THE VIDEOS?

If you'd like to actually see the graphs, along with other examples of niches and how one well-paid marketer explores these things using Google Trends, here are two videos that are definitely worth your time:

Hot Trends - How to Research Hot Trends


Let's take a minute here and talk about what's hot and not taking advantage of what it is because of how you personally feel about the hot trend or its subject. The last thing you ever want to do is take some kind of opinionated approach as to whether or not a hot trend is worth building a project out of or not. In other words, regardless of what the hot trend is about, don't let your personal biases or opinions cloud your judgment as to whether or not you want to deal with any certain hot trends topic.

For example: I don't like pop music for the most part and country music even less. I have little respect for what I consider blonde bimbos that make it rich based Solely on their looks. Therefore as a rule I don't make it a habit to following anything that has to do with blonde bomb shell country singers. But there are such "Entertainers" that have audiences in the millions who have an interest in such entertainers.

I know if I can provide that massive audience with a little more information about their country star, on a blog that has been monetized with things on the same subject about the people the "Star" they are interested in, there is an extremely good chance that at least some of that audience can buy into my monetized items, and I will receive a commission for them. Guess what? I win! That's why I don't let my personal feelings about the subject of interest for a hot trend get in the way of me making money. I can't afford to.

The same thing applies to religion, politics, government, philosophy, business, foreign affairs or anything else all of us have our own opinions about. If you let your opinions stand in the way of making money, you won't make as much money with hot trends. PERIOD!

With that said, there is nothing that says you can't use your opinion, or voice your opinion as part of any hot trends project. Who knows; if your post on a hot trends project is well thought out, well written, delivers a rational argument about the hot trend, and is controversial to the norm regarding that hot trend, you may build traffic coming into that hot trends blog just to argue with you. I wouldn't waste a lot of time on doing so in the beginning though. But being controversial has made a lot of people a lot of money.

Another top seller this year is Quiddler, a quick paced word lovers game in which players attempt to create words from dealt cards. Like Scrabble players try to use high point letters to get the highest score. Points are also given for most words, so even small words can help you win.

What serious board-gamers are picking as their top game overall is Puerto Rico. If your looking for a super fun strategy game that can teach your kids lessons in economics and commerce, this is it. Recommended for ages 12 and above, players of this game take on the roles of various plantation owners around the 1800's. The winner is determined by who positions themselves best to deliver their product across the sea to Europe.

With a combination of gambling and trivia, Wits & Wagers may again be top seller for 2009. In this fast paced, easy to learn game, players not only try to answer fun, and sometimes crazy questions, but also bet on the accuracy of other players answers to crown a winner.
