One of the key strategies in selecting a valuable domain name is being conversant with trending and viral news, stories, upcoming technologies, products and services in order to identify opportunities for a domain name that is valuable and has a higher resale value. More subtly, it is important to know what is currently trending, what is likely to continue trending in future, as well as the number of people interested in the current trends.
Also, it is essential to analyze different markets and niches to identify what products and services people are currently interested in, as well as the products and services that are likely to increase in relevance in future.
Here are helpful tips for conducting your market analytics in order to identify viable trends and opportunities for your domain name.
