What's Hot

Here are a few sites I use to try and find what people are interested in at the moment:

Yahoo Buzz

Google Trends

Trend Hunter

Starpulse

The point being, it can lead to ideas on what to sell. One thing I found interesting in the beginning was that things that are most popular don't sell as well as the more obscure, hard to find things. So take that into consideration. Of course, you don't want too obscure.

Kids stuff is the exception. It sells like crazy. The more popular, the better. If everybody's doing it, then odds are your kid wants to too.

Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, those have been hot for a long time now, though I think Miley might be cooling down.
