Hi Everyone! I am George Pierce, and this post is about uncovering online gems as an online marketer. Above is a snapshot of a free tool, which is Google Trends, the time capsule. It is a free tool, type "Google Trends" into your search box to find it. Scroll down for the time capsule. What it will do for you and me is show us what searches are trending. One of my niches is classic TV shows, thus the snapshot of TV shows. The tool can be used for any niche, however.
If you are new to online marketing, tapping into marketing trends, is a proven way to make money. There is an obvious catch, your product or service needs to be relative to the trend. Sports, sporting events, celebrities, news, world events, etc. are examples of trends that are probably not going to benefit us, so search for trends that are relative to your niche. I do not usually do this, but you can also search for products and/or services that are relative to trends. In this case, that is what is happening. I intend that if you see how I go about this, you can do the same. Although I cannot legally make any promises. tapping into trends is usually very rewarding.
What often happens with Google Trends is that you and I are going to discover a 'juicy' bit of information. For example, The Simpsons are the MOST Searched TV Show!
Or how about
"Our friends in Bikini Bottom have held the #1 spot for 10 of the last 20 years. Unseated for a stretch in the late 2010s, Spongebob recently reclaimed its title from a very popular Peppa Pig."
It so happens that there are episodes and clips of the Simpsons available on a site called Internet Archive and some are public domain as well as episodes of Spongebob. In other words, I was able to find a product or service to match the trend.
Not that I do not trust Google, but Google search is different than YouTube search, and videos, at least initially, are going to be more dependent on YT search. So, I wanted to see what Keyword Explorer had to say. For newbies, I recommend an overall score in the green, but I am quite pleased with GOOD when there are almost 200K searches on YT for "The Simpsons Full Episodes"
So I have three Public Domain episodes of The Simpson scheduled to download, and I will let you know what happens.
As far as Spongebob is concerned, there are Spongebob episodes on YT, the one above is getting almost 2K views per hour. I hope that I am wrong, but I have a strong suspicion that copyright issues may prohibit the use of Spongebob episodes. I may be wrong, let's hope that I am.
The bottom line is that I believe that I have found a couple of gems, thanks to Google Trends, and you can do the same.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

I thought that SpongeBob was going to have copyright issues, and it does, this time it is Paramount. Much of what I do works, but I can still recall when most of what I used to do, did NOT WORK. This is just part of the research, you go on to the next thing. There are many undiscovered gems, and we will find them as long as we keep looking.
So Far, not so good. The Simpsons, although the episodes that I am using, are showing up as Public Domain, they are being blocked on YT. YT says that Disney owns the copyright. Spongebob is in the queue, I will share how that goes soon. Not everything works, it is good that you see that, but when things like this do work, the results can be spectacular. I will update again, soon.
I'm sure you'll get it going. It's going to happen for you and be a smashing success.
Thank you for the tip about Google Trends, I will be checking out the tool. I know it must be good if you recommend it.
I can't wait to see The Simpsons when you get it up on your channel. I love Spongebob too, he's funny and crazy with his sidekick Patrick.
I will share them on your FB group if there are no issues, and already in the yellow with TB with regular keywords. thank you, Terri.
Awesome and it's a go then.
