How I use Pinterest and Google to find $1M+ startup ideas

Synopsis

Greg's anti-trend research workflow: use Pinterest's weekly/monthly changes and Google Trends' 5-year view plus Glimpse to spot overlooked niches, then run Claude to list top creators, Ahrefs to check traffic/backlinks, and ViewStats to gauge creator growth. The thesis is that serving the market that's NOT being talked about creates a unique moat.
