Week 10: Studying Trends

What is trend analysis? Trend Analysis is the practice of studying an aspect of performance to help predict future events in order to prepare for positive and negative results. The one fault of this concept is the risk taken. By acting on previous data, there are numerous influencers as to the reason of that success. Therefore, there is a level of risk taken when acting upon trend analysis (especially more so in the stock market).

Studying trends in content creation differs slightly. Some common aspects that are watched are traffic sources, type of market, sales performance etc. It is important to study trends in your business whether it is short-term or long-term, you can optimize your content to become more valuable to the publics eye.


Trends gives content creators a better direction of where things are going downhill. And the longer the trend sustains, the more notable the trend becomes. Great thinkers are always two steps ahead. You can also be two steps ahead by looking at trends and making insightful predictions of whats to come!
