Glimpse's answer
Glimpse leverages a proprietary algorithm that doesn’t have the lag that other search volume data providers have. Other providers have a number of issues, including lag time and bundling similar keywords together, which decrease the accuracy of their estimates. This is especially important for trends - for example, many of the other tools showed “chatgpt” having 0 or minimal search volume in mid-January 2023 when Glimpse showed it having 4M searches. Google Trends data doesn't suffer from these issues, and Glimpse's data is the only source that aligns with Google Trends.

The most valuable and impressive thing you can do is build a business. Hands down. Especially if it makes money.

Like an AI business, or a VR business once the new apple VR app store comes out. you'd be shocked at how much you can make... Source: about 3 years ago
For example; trends.co is not very good because the people that write for them are journalists, not business owners so although the writing is good, the ideas are poorly researched. On the other hand, meetglimpse.com is pretty good, they have nuanced and unique business ideas that you can take advantage of but the market research behind it is a little lacking, their chrome extension tool is great tho. And then... Source: over 3 years ago
a lot of things. I've built 3 online businesses that were profitable with under $1000. it's really just a hustle once you get product market fit. Starting something online shouldn't take that much money if you know how to test it. Check out like trends.vc, explodingideas.co, meetglimpse.com etc. They may be able to spark your creativity for ideas that could be good opportunities for the price point. Source: over 3 years ago
Great idea. You should scrape ideas from meetglimpse.com, explodingideas.co, trends.co and the other sites that post ideas. Would be an easy way to bulk up the document. Source: over 3 years ago
