Does anyone know of good websites that show what popular products have just hit the market? or products that are just showing up on the market? Or popular products that are due to hit the market soon? I know most people go to these conventions, but i simply cant afford to go.
Have you tried producthunt.com? A lot of startups list their stuff there. Another strategy is to go to sites like AliExpress, GearBest, DHGate, etc. and search for products that have been newly listed. As an alternative, I'm actually developing an AliExpress product research tool that can help you easily find new products appearing on the site.
