InsightFactory
When compared with other RedBubble tools, InsightFactory is one of the best.
It offers more information than you would ordinarily get from other dedicated Redbubble tools.
InsightFactory, unlike many other tools, does not rank new trends in order of popularity.
Instead, it lists the most popular trends in alphabetical order.
After giving you these trends, it scores each trend and gives it a niche score.
The niche score is calculated by the number of sales the designs within a niche have made.
The higher the niche score, the more sales potential a trend has.
InsightFactory recommends that users only focus on trends that have a niche score of 30 or higher.
Trends with lower scores have less potential to make you money.
This means that there is interest in the trend, however, not enough people are buying designs in this niche.
They also have a trademark feature that lets you know if the phrase has been trademarked so you can avoid using it in your designs.
Next to each trend, you’ll also see in which country it is popular.
InsightFactory states that they only highlight low competition niches, meaning that if you choose to use any of the trends within their list, you have the potential to make sales.
However, take note of each trend’s niche score.
This Redbubble tool has a free and pro plan.

How To Choose the Right Trend
There are several trends out there and finding them has never been easier.
What you need to figure out is which trend is worth investing in.
Trends come and go and solely relying on them might not always be a good strategy.
In addition to trending niches, you need an evergreen niche that will always be popular no matter what trends come and go.
There are a few topics like holidays, finances, sports, food, relationships e.t.c. that will always be appealing to a certain demographic no matter what is currently popular.
The right trending niche has the ability to drive a lot of income for your RedBubble business, however, you need to find the right one.
That means a trend that is popular and with low competition so your designs can appear at the top of searches and drive sales.
Never be quick to go with a trend.
Conduct your research and use other sources like Google Trends and other RedBubble tools to validate your findings and determine if a trend is worth investing your time and money in.
