Exploding Topics includes a variety of tools for discovering, researching, and tracking online trends. Now, all those tools are in one convenient place.

We’ve given Exploding Topics a bit of a facelift and added a brand new dashboard. On this handy landing page, you’ll find ideas for trends to incorporate into your business strategy, updates for topics you already have your eye on, and easy access to other key resources.

Discover Potential Growth Opportunities

Exploding Topics has always given you the tools to research trends you’re interested in and learn about new ones that weren’t previously on your radar. On the new dashboard, you’ll find recommendations for topics you might want to pursue based on the categories you’ve already shown interest in.

The Recommended Trends section of the Exploding Topics dashboard.

This personalized experience delivers topics, products, and startups with strong potential in your niche right to you.

Trend recommendations introduce you to topics you may not have otherwise considered and save time you would have spent digging through the Trends Database.

In addition to recommended trends, the dashboard also highlights products and startups experiencing high growth for your consideration.

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a whole section for popular meta trends.

Access Past Trend Resources

Exploding Topics’ trend reports are delivered to Pro users by email, but if you want to return to a previous report, you can find it in the Reports Library—and now, on the dashboard.

The Latest Trend Reports section of the Exploding Topics dashboard.

Recent reports and the top trends included in them are easier than ever to spot. These resources include expert insights on the products and startups with the greatest potential for growth at a given time.

If you missed them in your inbox, you can catch up on what you missed here.

The new Exploding Topics dashboard makes it simple to review key trend growth metrics at a glance. Rather than switching between tools to catch up on the latest data, all the high-level information you need is right at your fingertips.

Want to dig deeper? The dashboard will help you with that, too. Each section includes a helpful link to the tool that will give you all the details on the topic you’re interested in. Jump to the Trends Database, dive into meta trends, or find TikTok hashtags to follow.

Plus, every trend on the dashboard has a helpful Track Trend button so you can follow up on it later.

The Exploding Topics dashboard is live now for all users. To make the most of it, make sure to set up your first trend tracking project and sign up for Exploding Topics Pro to access meta trends, the TikTok Insights add-on, and more!
