Thinking about starting up another e-com biz.

Here are some my favorite resources
for research:

1. ExplodingTopics.com - this tool scours the internet to find exploding trends before they take off.

It even organizes by category & searches, convos & mentions online.
2. Google Search + Keywords Everywhere

#KeywordsEverywhere is a chrome extension.

Via search it will tell you how many monthly searches keywords gets & if it’s competitive. You want to find the perfect combo:

High Search Volume + Low Competition.
3. #GoogleTrends

Trends make it easy to analyzes the popularity of top search queries in Google Search across various regions and languages.

It’s a great visualization of potential business ideas. For example, here’s one I did based on search:
4. Shopify Exchange - exchangemarketplace.com

Ok, this is a bit of a cheat code.

This platform has existing stores you can purchase from other e-com store owners. Imagine picking up a great website with existing traffic, sales and metrics you can scale.

Perfect for 1st timers
5. ShopiStore - shopistores.com/top-500-most-s…

This list breaks down the BEST Shopify stores ranked by Alexa.

It’s great for getting an idea on what too brands are selling.

You can look at their branding, best sellers and emulate complements that are already working.
6. There’s a subreddit called #ProductPorn

Reddit Les share their favorite products from around the world. Check out products. Look at the comments, upvotes and engagement. You might be able to find a goldmine!

I hope these help you as we spend time working remotely!
