Tired of sifting through outdated Etsy trends? Most tools show you what was in demand last week or last month. But in fast-moving markets, that’s already old news.

ProfitTree’s Product Finder is built differently. It surfaces what’s currently trending right now - so you can stay ahead of the curve and discover products that are gaining traction before the competition catches on.

Not only does it highlight the rising stars of Etsy, but it also delivers actionable insights to help you:

  • Uncover fresh, untapped product niches

  • Solve low-traffic issues with data-backed decisions

  • Understand demand patterns and what buyers are really looking for

This tool isn’t just about finding what’s popular. It’s about helping you compete smarter, faster, and more profitably. Let’s dive into how it works and how you can use it to fuel your next bestseller.

Accessing the Product Finder

  1. Log into your ProfitTree dashboard.

  2. On the left-hand side menu under Product Research, click Product Finder.

  3. You’ll land on the Product Finder Home, where you can begin your search.
