How we find trends (your weekly job)

You don't need to guess US demand. Use data + speed. Publish within 48 hours of spotting a spike.

Step 1 — Daily radar (30 min)

• Google Trends → United States → last 7 days
• Amazon Movers & Shakers
• Reddit: r/AmazonFinds, r/BuyItForLife, r/ArtificialInteligence (hot posts)
• X/Twitter search: "tiktok made me buy", "viral amazon"

Step 2 — Filter (pick 1–3 per week)

• Search volume rising, not just one-day noise
• You can monetize: Amazon link OR SaaS affiliate (AI tools pay more)
• You can publish a page in under 4 hours
• Prefer buyer intent: "best", "worth it", "vs", "alternatives"

Step 3 — Publish fast

1. Add entry to src/data/trends.json
2. Run npm run build and deploy
3. Optional: add a micro-tool in src/data/tools.json

Step 4 — Promote (same day)

Hot trends die in SEO time. Post links on Reddit/X the same day — don't wait for Google.

Commission priority (high → low)

1. AI / SaaS affiliates — 20–40% recurring
2. Amazon trending gadgets — volume, 3–8%
3. Game launch accessories — 60-day spike windows
4. AdSense — baseline after traffic lands
