PSDmate's niche research expands a seed topic into candidate niches, pulls live metrics from Etsy for each one, and scores them so you can see which are worth designing for before you spend a week on artwork. Saved niches are re-checked weekly and you are emailed when the numbers move, so a rising trend reaches you while it is still rising.
The problem this solves
Most niche research is a screenshot of somebody else's winning shop. By the time a niche is visible enough to be recommended in a YouTube video, it is saturated — and the alternative, guessing, costs you a week of design time per wrong guess.
What it does
Seed expansion
Give it one topic and it produces candidate niches around it rather than making you brainstorm the long tail yourself.
Live Etsy metrics
Each candidate is checked against real Etsy data rather than a static keyword database that went stale last year.
Scored and ranked
Candidates are scored so the shortlist is a decision, not another spreadsheet to read.
Weekly trend alerts
Saved niches are re-checked every Monday, differences against the previous run are computed, and risers trigger an email.

Questions
Where does the data come from?
Live queries against Etsy for each candidate, not a third-party keyword database.
Does it tell me exactly what to make?
No. It narrows the field and shows you the numbers behind each candidate. The design judgement stays yours.
How often are saved niches checked?
Weekly. The first check on a new niche stores a baseline, and later runs compare against it.
