Josh Howarth
- Founder of Exploding Topics
- $3.2 Million annual revenue
Exploding Topics is a freemium tool that shows you “growing topics before they take off” 🚀
We featured the founder Josh Howarth previously, when he revealed how he came up with the idea…
I’d started to realize that it’s 100X easier to bootstrap a profitable online business if you ride a big market trend. Jump on the opportunity before the competition gets too fierce.
Josh’s journey 👇
- Started Trend List (now Exploding Topics)
- Sold part of it to Brian Dean
- And very recently: Exploding Topics was acquired by Semrush
In a video from last year, Brian revealed they were doing $3.2M in annual revenue…
So I’m guessing they sold for around $8 million 💰
Anyway, Exploding Topics is a massive resource and you can see a lot on there for free.
Have a look around, see what’s trending in different industries, and it might spark an idea for you 🔥
