Heated Beginnings - [HAWKS] Keigo Takami

Synopsis: Was there an ulterior motive to Hawks' arrival at Endeavor's agency? perhaps... Unable to keep his composure at the sight of someone who already has his heart but doesn't know it yet, he wonders if he could over come the one thing stopping him, her father... 

Pairing: Hawks X Endeavor's daughter reader

. . .

‘Interning at your fathers?’ 

Perplexed, a gentle but warm-welcoming smile softly perks on your flushed cheeks; one that drives him mad. Smoothly, his eyes dip down to your partially exposed bra peeking through from your blouse not being fully buttoned up as you bent down, your fingers flicking through the pages of the stacked paper pile in front of you. You tucks a strand of hair behind your ear as you stand up, grinning ear to ear at the overly confident second ranked pro-hero. 

Matching your  smile, his head tilts softly as pro-hero Hawks stares at the one thing he desires and simultaneously the one thing he couldn’t have. You  were the only one he questioned and criticised his appearance; he questioned if his hair looked good, if he had anything in his teeth and above all if he smelt good.

‘Yeah.’ you pause, ‘A lil’ summer internship here and there to help during the busy season you know?’ 

‘Does he pay you?’ 

Your fingers slid out from the hefty stack of paperworks, he could tell she found what he had asked amusing, by the raised eyebrows and the smug look on your face. You  shake your head, somewhat shocked, Hawks’ smile at the brillant attempt to see your more than he usually does. 

‘You know… if you interned under me I’d pay you in full and take you out to lunch daily.’ 

Amber cheeks you couldn’t help but show sway at his obviously flirtatious gesture even apparent in your eyes. 

‘Hawks, I’d love to but… you and I can both imagine how well that would go over with Endeavor. I wouldn’t know who he'd kill first…’ 

You giggled to yourself, however found yourself knowing that what you had just joked about would be your reality if you dared to work for the competition especially for Hawks, your father’s apparent allied enemy. You step away from the counter and stand in front of him, he adjusts his posture, making sure his muscles flexed as he stood tall. 

‘The offer will still stan-’ 

‘What offer?!’ irritated, his voice boomed against the echoing four walls of the main entrance to Endeavor’s agency, 

Biting the inner side of your cheek, your eyes split from Hawks to the daunting figure of your father, Endeavor standing at your side. Awkwardly smiling as if nothing happened, you stare smiling at Endeavor as if trying to skip over the topic knowing he would blow his casket over it. In contrast, Hawks’ face contorts in annoyance that his little flirting was cut short by his future father-in-law. 

Softly underneath your breath you reassure both you and your father that nothing happened. Just as the words slipped out of your mouth, Hawks had another idea. 

‘-A date.’   proud of his actions he pauses for dramatic effect,

‘YOU WHAT?!’ Endeavor snarls viciously, 

 ‘I offered to pay the bill but your lovely daughter insisted we split.’ Hawks says whimsically, 

Concerned you study the face of your father, his eye twitches steadily in aggravation and disbelief. Unable to fathom what had come out of the lips of his new enemy as you braced yourself for him to explode any minute now. Sidekicks begin to surround the little scene caused by Hawks, their words to cool Endeavor down fall short and as he turns on his heels stopping for a minute.  His head slowly turns to you and he was not above pulling the fatherly disappointment card, especially when he felt betrayed by his own daughter. 

‘We will speak later.’ he grumbles quietly to you, his hand firmly gripping Hawks’ shoulder dragging him to the abyss of the escalator with no return,  

In disbelief you shook your head grinning from ear to ear, you refused to believe what had just happened and after the warmth of your cheeks had settled down you returned back to your assigned work unable to get rid of the smile that kept on your face. 

. . . 

The tips of his wings scorched and his cheeks singed, though at the first sight of you he couldn’t help but find himself smirking. You catch a small glimpse of him from the corner of your eyes, one that stops you  in your tracks and a smug smile appears on your  lips at his braving of challenging the so-called beast. Files tossed aside mindlessly, noticing your father’s attention had slipped away from the little situation; it was your best shot not to get caught. 

You quickly dart down numbers on a flimsy sticky note. Peeling it off, you awkwardly jogs across the entrance of the agency, your actions being noticed by Hawks who finds himself obsessing over your small rebellion against your own father. You fold the sticky note nervously, slipping it sneakily into his pocket. Your  action goes unnoticed for the most part but Endeavor finds himself staring at his daughter in close proximity to the man he would rather die than see you with. 

Positioning himself between his daughter and the man trying to steal his daughter away from him. He glares down his nose at Hawks, who smiles as the note you had just given him is twirled slowly within his fingertips without Endeavor knowing. 

‘If it looks like you roughhoused Mr Hawks- which you did- I wouldn’t want that affecting your public image dad.’ quick-witted you softly smile, obviously playing the “dad” card to get extra brownie points with him, 

‘Fine.’ Endeavor grumbles walking away expecting you to follow, 

You begin to follow suit, our head soft swivels over your shoulder catching his gaze momentarily.  Your hand rises slowly up towards the side of your face, motioning him to call you in which he nods, smiling happily as he is escorted out of the agency by a large security team. 

He shoots back a look, watching his future date return to her overly-protective father’s side, pulling out your small act of rebellion as he holds your phone number in his balled hand, excited that he got exactly what he wanted out of this, a little  date with Endeavor’s younger daughter.

- absolutely loves it when you two get to the point where you don’t always have to talk and you both can just exist next to the other

- comfort in silence

- i saw a headcanon somewhere else that said yone is a good cook and i absolutely agree

- he mostly makes japanese dishes and they’re always so good

- if he ever visits you while you’re busy he will always bring some food because he knows how hard it can be to keep track of eating while also working

- on the topic of working

- you are the only thing keeping him sane <3

- you have the power to make him retire for the night though!!

- try to coax him while gently rubbing his arm

- if he still puts up a fight then just sit next to him while he works with the excuse “i want to be close to you”

- few minutes of that and he feels too guilty, and thus leads you to go to bed with him

- not much of a cuddle person when going to bed

- he will if you want to though!!

- his favorite is your head in his chest while he rubs your back <3

- pro tip: rub his back too; he needs/loves the comfort

Kakuzu Platonic Relationship Headcanons

Tags: No Reader Pronouns

𓆃 Uh... friends is a strong word, isn't it?

𓆃 Because Kakuzu doesn't have friends, and he likes it that way! So the best you're going to get is "regular interaction" or "work proximity associates".

𓆃 If you're someone that Kakuzu interacts with as he works, such as in the bounty business, you would be a "regular interaction." If you operate together, you are a "work proximity associate" or "associate" for short.

𓆃 And the only true way to get on Kakuzu's good side and stay there is a dangerously simple mix of shared opinions and shared values.

𓆃 Like a typical old-timer, Kakuzu believes mostly conservative views on shinobi work and politics, and above all, a cynical view on money.

𓆃 Anything eccentric is a surefire way to lose his favor, and anything too "progressive" will surely lose his favor. Really, it's tempting to tell Kakuzu that market-bought paper bombs are more effective and practical than hand-written ones, but why would you?

𓆃 "It's a waste of precious coin," he'll grumble disapprovingly. "Buying jutsu is a disgrace."

𓆃 Granted, he doesn't lecture. He's too impatient for that, but pushing Kakuzu is akin to a jack-in-the-box. You never know what's the final straw before he'll explode.

𓆃 Your best bet is to prove yourself and lean into his grumpiness. Learning to read his subtle shifts in mood is a plus so that you can stop talking.

𓆃 Finance and politics are great conversation topics to stick to.

𓆃 If you're lucky, you might be able to hold a conversation with Kakuzu for a solid hour if you start talking the pros and cons of various types of investments.

𓆃 Or on politics. If you get the news before he does, you can inform him about whatever stupid thing is happening in the Hidden Grass. It allows you to gauge his reactions to agree with.

𓆃 Kakuzu is also secretly one for gossip. He'd never admit how much he absolutely loves hearing about how the daimyō's daughter from the Land of Wind just had a messy divorce.

𓆃 "Can't mean good things for their treaty with the Land of Earth," he'd say, crossing his arms with a shake of his head.

𓆃 "I heard in the last village that the prince was caught in quite the scandalous and compromising position" is enough to make Kakuzu eye you in quiet, subtle anticipation.

𓆃 Kakuzu is like the dad who says he doesn't care about your trash reality TV show but stands behind the couch to watch.

𓆃 But staying alive isn't just about making good conversation with Kakuzu.

𓆃 He's opportunistic and will not stand to keep company that he perceives as weak. While there are a multitude of petty things that could lead to a kill from Kakuzu, perceived weakness is at the top of them.

𓆃 Feeling like you're on a good track with Kakuzu is easy to lean into. Walking away from a few interactions feeling like you're getting closer is something that you do not want to get lost in.

𓆃 Because no matter how much you know about investments or scandals, if you make him angry enough, Kakuzu will not hesitate to end your life. And the tally he keeps is invisible.

Thank you to all who liked, reblogged, followed, and supported. Your support means so much and is greatly appreciated.

Mr. Katsuki doesn’t give a fuck about romance.

He doesn’t understand why do people need to be so disgustingly cheesy with each other, he doesn’t understand what’s so good about being in love and he definitely doesn’t understand how did he end up in a committed relationship.

Yes, Bakugou Katsuki, 25 years old Number 2 pro hero is in fucking love and he hates every single minute of it.

He hates it.

So much.

So-so much.

The cuddles? Nah. It gives him all these fluttery-jittery shitty feelings and his heart is probably allergic to it because there is no way it should beat that quickly.

The kisses? Well, they don’t have too much of an experience in that yet as the first time they kissed Katsuki didn’t kiss back as he was too busy having a mental breakdown, then their next kiss was so heated he almost did some unspeakable things to his brand new girlfriend and he had to run home to take care of his misbehaving “friend” and take a really cold shower to stop himself for running back to the office… and that was a terrible experience. Then this whole lovey-dovey thing got awkward. He has no idea what the fuck is he doing and every time he decides to kiss Y/N, his heart wants to explode and he doesn’t want to die so… he’s not doing it.

The sex? Well… they are not there yet but even the thought of it makes Mr. Katsuki insane. In a bad way, of course.

Of course…

Also! No one fucking told him you can get addicted to a person. Love should be illegal. This is terrible. Mr. Katsuki can barely sleep during the night because his fucking mind can’t stop thinking about The Menace and about all the things he… would probably absolutely hate doing. Like cuddling in bed. Or making out until the morning. Or doing other stuff until the morning then call in sick to work, because they are old and their backs hurt. Disgusting. Just disgusting.

Mr. Katsuki is definitely sick in the head. This is all nonsense. He’s not going into his office to be the best hero anymore, but to see Y/N in his shitty oversized hoodies and daydream about her wearing his hoodies instead.

Okay, what the fuck, no.

Fucking no.

Mr. Katsuki hates everyone and everything right now but the one he hates the most is…

“You fucking Menace, get out of my fucking head, I can’t sleep because of you!” Mr. Katsuki yells at his significant other on this lovely Thursday morning.

Ahh, she’s so fucking cute before her first coffee, what the fuck. She looks so confused, Katsuki really wants to kiss her senseless.

Wait, what?

“Aww, that was so fucking cheesy, what the fuck.”

… Nevermind, the urge is gone.

“It wasn’t a compliment, you dipshit!” Katsuki yells again with a face red as a tomato.

“I’ll just act offended then, but can I have my coffee now?”

Y/N comes way too close for Bakugou’s liking. Is it really necessary to stand so close to him? It gives his heart a hard time. Being allergic to your girlfriend sucks.

“Who said it’s yours?” The blonde retorts. Maybe he just wanted to bring his best friend a coffee. Or have two coffees.

“It’s mine now.” The Menace puts her mouth on Mr. Katsuki’s cheek, which makes his heart act up again. She snatches the coffee out of his hand while he’s distracted and sits back down happily to finish her paperwork.

Mr. Katsuki hates The Menace. So-so much.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Kirishima is really happy for his best friend, but he is also mentally scarred.

It was only a few days ago when he accidentally walked in on his best friend and his assistant having a heated sparring session with their tongues; he will never forget seeing Y/N’s hands almost completely down Katsuki’s pants while his blonde bestie was busy squeezing the shit out of her thighs on his office desk.

Now look, Kirishima knows this is his fault; he’s the one who hired Y/N just to keep himself entertained, knowing the two will be at each other’s throats most of the time, making a mess in the office as they both have the same personality and none of them knows how to back down. It really has started as a really expensive joke. What Kirishima didn’t expect was to watch those two fall for each other in the middle of their heated arguments. It was so fucking obvious yet so unbelievable, but Kirishima then decided to push them to their limits and actually made it happen; he came up with the stupid idea of closing the two in the same hotel room for a few days for a mission, but Kirishima’s joke almost cost both of their lives; the suspect ended up to be Y/N’s biggest enemy who’s been waiting to get revenge on her for arresting his gang buddies a few years ago.

Long story short, the drama escalated, Katsuki got quirked with a quirk called “Anguish” which basically made him extremely depressed and suicidal for a day and he was saved by a massive bitch slap and a ferocious kiss by the love of his life; kinda like in the cheesy romantic movies Kirishima adores. Kirishima is absolutely not jealous. Not at all.

Also, Y/N became a great friend to Kirishima during her employment; she’s a fierce, honest woman from abroad, beautiful, proud and intelligent. She’s also an amazing (currently) ex-hero who got wounded in a massive fight for her country and had to step down completely after almost losing her life. She was bedridden for months, unable to eat, shower or do anything alone and even after getting better she was forced to stay far away from actual hero work for a while, hence why she decided to join a hero agency as an assistant; this kept her close to her dream in a safe way and also let her live in her favorite country.

Kirishima will never forget Bakugou’s face when he realized Y/N was the number one hero of her country while Katsuki was stuck at number 2 thanks to Deku. They had a spar which ended up being more like a foreplay than an actual battle but Y/N won anyway; she has the most OP quirk the world has ever seen. She can activate any quirk she can come up with and alternate it in any way or use multiple quirks at once if she concentrates on them enough. Like what the fuck man, that’s cheating.

So yeah, Y/N is a great friend of Kirishima and he’s really happy for his friends but he will never get over Katsuki’s horny face that’s for sure.

But…

After that one incident on their first day of being a couple, the two… well… they went back to their normal selves. And Kirishima is really bloody confused.

“The fuck are you yapping about you fucking extra?!” Katsuki yells, his eyes piercing through the skull of this poor guy who works as a side kick at the agency. Kirishima can’t lie, Mizuto isn’t his favorite guy either, he’s sensitive and overdramatic but he hid it really well at the interview. Kirishima hates himself for putting these two in the same meeting room instead of doing two separate meetings, one with the bosses (and Y/N) and one with the extras, as Katsuki likes to call them.

“I’m saying that your leading techniques are harsh and rude and I don’t appreciate you talking down on me!” He yells and Katsuki stands up; he gets pulled back to his chair by Y/N.

“Shut the fuck up, the both of you, I have a migraine!”

“Then go the fuck home…” Katsuki can’t finish his sentence as Y/N randomly creates a spray bottle full of water and sprays the hero on the side of his face; the way some stupid people do with cats when they misbehave. Letting Y/N meet Momo Yaozoru was another terrible mistake of Kirishima’s. Katsuki does not appreciate the gesture and throws an explosion at Y/N but she deflects it with a mirroring quirk; Katsuki moves away and the explosion hits the window and blasts through it.

Great. They need to change the windows again. Kirishima really thought that with these two getting together, all the aggression will fade away but apparently that’s not the case; are they even together or did they just have a moment which Kirishima awkwardly interrupted? Kirishima was sure they are a couple, especially as none of them moved away from each other when he found them in each other’s arms.

He needs to investigate.

After the meeting and a phone call to the maintenance - they don’t even ask questions anymore, they just give them a full day long appointment because they know them so well by now - Kirishima asks Katsuki to come to his office for a quick “catch up”. Katsuki does not appreciate being called into the office like a fucking extra, especially as they are supposed to be co-leading the agency but Kiri only smiles in Katsuki’s pouting face.

“Bro, I just called you here to gossip. I wanted to know what happened after I left that day.” Kirishima winks and Katsuki looks away with a massive blush on his face. He’s fucking adorable.

“Nothing. I went home.” Honestly, this guy is a pain in the ass. Why can’t he take a hint?!

“So… did you kiss since?”

“No.”

“Uhm…” Kirishima wonders what the fuck should he say to that. ‘Did you fuck’ just doesn’t sound right. “So you two are not…?” Kirishima can’t finish the sentence as an explosion hits his face. He should have seen that coming. His eyes sting now.

“Do you have a crush on my girlfriend or what?!” Katsuki yells and Kirishima grins; it takes a few seconds for the blonde to realize what he’d just said; his face contorts into a frown and sits back, mumbling profanities to no one in particular.

“I got all the information I wanted. You are dismissed. Congratulations!” Kirishima’s shit eating grin can be seen even from the moon, that’s how massive it is.

Ahh, young love.

“Fuck you.” Katsuki mumbles and leaves the office, almost breaking his door for the 700th time. Ahh, never mind, the maintenance guys will probably have a spare with them anyway.

~•💥•~

You are on your last few bits of paperwork when a bewildered Katsuki comes into your shared office.

“What.”

Katsuki throws himself into his chair, he rolls around like a kid, left to right then in circles before he answers. He’s so fucking adorable. Goddamnit.

“Kirishima is in my ass, asking stupid questions about you.” He pouts and you laugh; Katsuki doesn’t like to be laughed at so he sends a tiny spark towards you, not even strong enough to travel to the right destination.

“I can help you forget the conversation.” You wink jokingly, but your boyfriend only rolls his eyes. There is a slight a blush on his face he can’t really hide, but by the look of it, he doesn’t want to anyway.

“Which part of ‘taking it slow’ do you not understand, you bloody woman?” Katsuki yells but there is no edge to his voice; for anyone else this would sound offensive, but for you, it just sounds pained; he’s clearly still getting used to all of this and while you can barely stop yourself from kissing him senseless every day, you can absolutely understand him.

“I know. I won’t do anything you don’t want. Calm down.” You murmur, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible to not freak your brand new boyfriend out.

“I’ve never said I don’t want it. I just want to take it slow.”

Well, that sentence went straight between your legs. No one can judge you for being like that after dancing around each other for literal months. It’s the honeymoon phase. It will pass.

“C’mere.” Katsuki grunts and you jump up from your desk to walk towards your boyfriend. He manhandles you into his lap while snuggling his face into your chest and sighs. You can only hope he can’t feel the way you shivered all over from the hotness of his breath.

“Better?” You ask, faking nonchalance.

“No, I hate it. Makes me feel all tingly wiggly and shit. Relationships suck.” He murmurs and you can’t stop the laugh bubbling up in your chest.

“Yeah, me too. I hate it so much. It’s terrible.” You bite your lips to stop yourself from laughing and the blonde looks up at you, arching his eyebrows in disapproval.

“Don’t make that face. I hate it.” He grumbles, but you can see how his eyes light up as he looks down; he licks his lips while staring at yours but he doesn’t move towards you; you really want to tackle this man and kiss some sense into him. “Now go away, I need to finish the paperwork.”

Well, you are dismissed now! You go back to your desk, giggling to yourself like a lovesick teenager; he’s so fucking cute. Oh my god, since when are you such a sap?!

“How long will you be staring at me?” Katsuki mumbles begrudgingly.

“I can do this all day.”

He tries his best to look offended but you can’t miss the way his mouth quirks up as he shamelessly ignores you for the rest of the day.

Well, this will be a long run but fuck if it’s not worth it for those small smiles only you can see.

Maybe one day, it won’t be so hard to initiate contact with him. One day, you might be able to give him a kiss without being told off for it. That day is not today though but that’s fine; he can take as much time as he needs because you’ll be there, waiting for him. If you need to, you’ll wait for him forever.

“Thanks… Y/N.” He mumbles with a red face but doesn’t look up from his laptop; you smile to yourself and doesn’t answer; you don’t need to. He knows you well enough to know what your answer would be anyway.

You really love this fucking madman.

…Next chapter!

Potato ramble:

- Welcome to the ‘potato ramble’ section of the ficc. This is where are I talk to myself while you roll your eyes at home thinking ‘I ain’t got time for your shit, fella.” I’ll ramble about the story or about a random things you don’t want to/need to know about the writer. I’ll try to behave.

- Sorry if there’s barely anything new in this chapter, this is more like a chapter 0 than a chapter one and it also gives you a brief recap in case you have the brain capacity of a goldfish as I do and you forget the main story by the time you get to the second season. Yeah, sorry. I hope you still enjoyed it though!

- The “I can do this all day” bit was a Captain America reference.

- If there’s anything you want to see in this ficc, let me know and I might use your idea!

- About the potential cheekiness in the ficc… please tell me what do you prefer. Brief mentions of their cheeky deeds? Detailed first time? Nothing? Potatoes? French fries or mashed? Or should I just write about Katsuki’s pigeon, Steve? Tell me your thoughts because I honestly don’t know what I want to do. 😂

- YES, I’m sleep deprived right now, how did you know?!

- I’ll shut up for today, I think I confused you enough for one day. Have a lovely week!

[wakeupthemembersofbylernation]

why do you think byler is less popular than mlvn on instagram?

on tiktok, tumblr, twitter and pretty much all other platforms byler is the more popular ship, but for some reason mlvns is more popular on instagram.

This is a good question! I’m not sure there’s a definitive answer, but if I were to take a stab at it, maybe it has something to do with the age demographic/type of fan on each platform?

Tumblr is very gay platform, and it’s also a platform for theorizing, so it makes sense that Byler is more popular here. Mlvn just kinda exists right now. There’s not much to theorize about. Like if you really believe that the monologue fixed everything and Mike and El will live happily ever after, then okay. It makes sense why a lot of them believe Mlvn will get married young and have children, cause where else is for them to go? All the other ships have unfinished business, even Jopper, the ship that’s probably in the best place after S4. They still have to figure out how to work together as a couple with a blended family.

Byler is inherently exciting to Tumblr cause it’s all about theorizing and anticipation. And it’s queer. Age demographic-wise, it seems like Byler Tumblr is all over the map too: from millennials who’ve been through this before with other ships that turned out to be queerbait to Gen Z adults my age to younger Zoomers who are truly excited about a ship becoming canon for the first time. There’s probably some of Gen Alpha here too, as well as people from Gen X. This shows that Byler is exciting and appeals to a wide range of folks.

With TikTok, it’s a younger skewing platform, and fandom-wise, there’s an emphasis on edits as well as Byler theorizing. And honestly, Season 4 genuinely didn’t give Mlvns that much to work with when it comes to edits. I mean, Will is in most of the shots. And Mlvn theories don’t seem that exciting. The GA already sees Mlvn endgame as the foregone conclusion, and he monologued to her. What else is there to theorize about? Since TikTok is a newer platform, it seems like there’s just less Mlvn-loyalists making content there, and Byler shippers have just taken it over. This is in large part due to Stranger Things as a whole exploding in popularity during summer 2022 and a lot of people switching sides to Byler during that time. There was a lot of content to create. I also think to some extent angsty edits perform better. And Byler obviously has a lot of angst.

Twitter honestly seems like the biggest war zone to me, which is why I stay away from ST Twitter for the most part. There’s just a lot of petty fights and arguments. Clearly we have a strong presence there, as evidenced by us causing the whole Byler script fiasco in august 2022. Mlvns there seem to be the most toxic, and I’ve noticed they always have Regina George tendencies (a lot of them have PFPs of Millie, Regina George, Barbie, or Olivia Rodrigo for some reason). I don’t know if it’s true that there are more Bylers than Mlvns on Twitter, but if that is true, that’s once again because Byler is just more exciting lol.

I think Instagram is a weird creature overall. It’s older than TikTok, so the fandom presence was likely established in 2016 when Mlvn mania began. It’s not really algorithmically based in the same way (with clear trending topics), so I think it’s easier for people to just follow and interact with accounts they support. I’ve noticed that a lot of the Mlvn accounts are Fillie accounts or Fillie-adjacent accounts often run by young girls (but not always- there are older fans too).

They tend to overly romanticize Mlvn and genuinely see it as the height of romance, even denying that they have any problems whatsoever. And they tend to bombard ST comment sections with extremely overzealous pro-Mlvn stuff, sometimes bordering on bizarre. Maybe part of this is due to IG basically being Facebook for younger millennials/older Zoomers? I think it’s a substantially more normie and less queer space than Tumblr. It’s also picture-based, so Mlvns often post screenshots from the show and pictures of Finn and Millie.

And obviously reddit is pro-Mlvn to an extreme too, with Bylers basically been exiled to the Byler subreddit. But there it’s largely middle-aged men who can’t fathom their favorite nerdy 80s nostalgia show becoming “woke” and gay.

So, buckle up. Let’s dive into the best ideas for company growth, disrupt the status quo, and give your entrepreneurial vision the edge it deserves in 2025 and beyond.

1. Hyper-Niche E-commerce Brands

In 2025, personalization is no longer optional; it's the new standard. Consumers are tired of one-size-fits-all solutions, and that’s where hyper-niche e-commerce brands thrive. Instead of targeting everyone, smart entrepreneurs are building businesses that serve a very specific audience with laser-focused products and messaging.

Imagine launching a brand that caters solely to remote-working professionals who need ergonomic tools, or creating an online store that sells only sustainable pet care products for eco-conscious pet owners. These aren’t just online shops, they're purpose-driven platforms built around deeply understood customer needs.

What makes hyper-niche businesses so powerful is their ability to build strong brand loyalty and community. When customers feel like your brand “gets” them, conversion rates rise, repeat purchases grow, and word-of-mouth spreads naturally. It’s also easier to compete in these tight verticals because you’re not battling for attention in oversaturated, generic markets.

To find the right niche, use research tools like Google Trends and Exploding Topics, or start by identifying underserved customer pain points in forums, Reddit communities, or your own experiences.

If you want to turn a hyper-specific idea into a profitable online business, our comprehensive e-commerce startup guide for India will walk you through the strategy, setup, and scale-up steps. And if you’re serious about launching with a growth mindset, don’t miss your subscription to Entrepreneurial Era Magazine - your go-to resource for startup ideas, market insights, and real founder stories.

In a crowded digital economy, success belongs to the brands that dare to go narrow, deep, and personal.

2. Subscription-Based Expertise

In the digital-first world of 2025, expertise is a product and recurring revenue is the goal. Entrepreneurs and consultants are shifting from one-off projects to scalable subscription models that deliver consistent value to a loyal audience.

Whether you're a marketing strategist, coding expert, financial planner, or wellness coach, your knowledge can be packaged into a paid membership, digital community, or learning platform. Think beyond basic online courses. Today’s consumers crave access to ongoing insights, updates, templates, Q&A sessions, and community-driven problem-solving. It’s not just education, it's evolution on-demand.

Platforms like Teachable, Patreon, and Circle.so make it easy to launch your own paid knowledge hub, where members subscribe for fresh content, tools, and expert guidance.

Why is this model booming?

It creates predictable monthly revenue

Builds a tight-knit community around your brand

Positions you as a go-to authority in your niche

Increases customer lifetime value (CLTV) 

For example, creators who write on LinkedIn or speak at events are now turning their authority into subscription-based businesses, offering exclusive content, resources, and coaching inside gated communities. This model works especially well for Indian professionals who want to scale beyond local consulting and reach a global audience.

Looking to turn your knowledge into a business? Check out our in-depth article on how to start a subscription-based business in India. And for a steady stream of startup case studies, monetization tips, and strategy breakdowns, subscribe to Entrepreneurial Era Magazine.

3. AI-Powered Services for SMEs

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just for tech giants anymore. In 2025, small and mid-sized businesses (SMEs) across India are rapidly adopting AI to boost efficiency, cut costs, and scale operations. This opens up a massive opportunity for entrepreneurs to build service-based businesses powered by accessible AI tools.

If you’re tech-savvy or have a product mindset, you can create:

AI-based customer support solutions using tools like Tidio or Freshdesk with Freddy AI

AI-driven ad targeting and copywriting through platforms like Jasper or AdCreative.ai

Business analytics dashboards that simplify decision-making for non-tech founders using tools like Looker Studio or Power BI

The key? Focus on delivering AI-powered services that are practical, affordable, and ROI-driven for SMEs who can’t afford enterprise software but still want smart automation.

Explore our feature on AI Startup Ideas in India for 2025 Or get your hands on real examples and implementation guides in the latest issue of Entrepreneurial Era Magazine

Why it works:

SMEs lack in-house AI teams but crave automation

AI tools are now low-code or no-code—easy to deploy

It positions your brand as future-ready and value-driven

It opens doors to retainer-based service contracts

This model is perfect for agencies, freelancers, and productized service startups that want to offer high-value outputs without large teams. In fact, many bootstrapped founders are now building niche AI consulting businesses targeting verticals like retail, real estate, or education.

If you want to serve a market that's actively growing and underserved, AI-for-SMEs is a goldmine.

4. Creator-Centric Product Companies

In 2025, creators aren’t just promoting products, they're co-building them. Enter the rise of creator-centric product companies, where entrepreneurs collaborate directly with influencers to design, develop, and launch products that feel personal, authentic, and instantly trustworthy.

Why does this work? Because creators already have what many startups spend years building: a loyal, engaged audience that trusts their recommendations. When you partner with a YouTuber, podcaster, or Instagram creator who deeply understands their community, you’re not just buying attention, you're buying influence, feedback loops, and built-in demand.

Take, for instance, fitness influencers launching custom workout gear or beauty creators co-developing skincare lines tailored to their followers’ routines. These ventures aren’t speculative; they're demand-driven, backed by real conversations and data from engaged communities.

The key is to move beyond simple brand deals and into true co-creation. Offer creators equity, creative control, or a share of the revenue. This builds long-term alignment and turns the influencer into a founding partner who’s deeply invested in the brand’s success.

Platforms like Shopify Collabs and Pietra make it easier than ever to connect with creators and build DTC brands together. Meanwhile, our in-depth resource on how to launch a profitable product in partnership with creators offers a blueprint for turning collaboration into traction.

And if you're looking to stay ahead with cutting-edge strategies and real case studies from startups that scale fast, don’t forget to subscribe to Entrepreneurial Era Magazine. We feature India’s most innovative entrepreneurs and the growth playbooks behind their success.

In a creator economy, the smartest founders aren’t just selling to audiences they’re building with them.

5. Virtual Franchising: Scale Without Real Estate

The future of franchising isn’t tied to storefronts, it's in the cloud. Virtual franchising is emerging as one of the most scalable, low-overhead business models for 2025, allowing founders to replicate service-based businesses digitally across geographies without the constraints of physical locations.

Picture this: You’ve built a successful online coaching program, digital marketing service, or even a specialized SaaS platform. Instead of expanding by setting up regional offices or training individual consultants, you franchise your business model virtually complete with your systems, brand, training resources, and tech stack. Each virtual franchisee runs operations remotely, often from home, following your proven blueprint.

What makes this model so powerful?

Low startup costs for franchisees (no rent, no inventory)

High scalability for the founder with standardized processes

Access to a wider talent pool, not restricted by geography

Recurring revenue through licensing and support fees

Industries ripe for virtual franchising include online tutoring, remote fitness training, digital marketing agencies, mental wellness programs, and even AI-based productivity services.

Global platforms like FranNet and India-focused hubs such as Franchise India are already spotlighting digital franchise models, while subscription tools like Thinkific and Kajabi enable seamless course and content replication across locations.

Want a deeper look at how entrepreneurs in India are scaling through virtual franchising? Read our feature on "Digital-First Franchises Disrupting Traditional Business Models" in Entrepreneurial Era Magazine, where we break down the strategies behind these modern growth machines.

If you’re aiming to grow without the headache of overhead, virtual franchising might just be your next big move, one that scales with systems, not real estate.

6. Green Business Models: Profit with a Purpose

In 2025, green isn’t just a trend, it's a business advantage. Consumers, regulators, and investors are all placing sustainability at the heart of their decision-making, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs are turning environmental responsibility into scalable, profitable models.

From zero-waste packaging startups to carbon tracking SaaS platforms, green business ideas are not only socially impactful but financially strategic. The Indian market, especially, is witnessing a sharp rise in eco-conscious consumer behavior opening massive opportunities for purpose-driven innovation.

Some breakout models to explore include:

Biodegradable packaging businesses that help D2C brands stay compliant with sustainability laws.

Green logistics platforms that optimize delivery routes to reduce emissions ideal for last-mile delivery services.

Carbon footprint tracking tools for SMEs trying to meet ESG goals or improve CSR reporting.

Eco-friendly product lines think plant-based alternatives, recycled material fashion, or refillable personal care items.

According to a report by NielsenIQ, over 73% of Gen Z consumers globally prefer to buy from sustainable brands signaling a permanent shift in demand. In India, startups like Bare Necessities, Loopworm, and Phool.co have already carved impressive niches by solving real environmental challenges.

And here’s the edge: launching a green business doesn’t always mean inventing something new, it often means rethinking the value chain of an existing idea with sustainability in mind.

Want to learn how green founders are scaling fast and raising impact capital? Dive into our in-depth feature: “10 Indian Startups Making Sustainability Profitable” inside Entrepreneurial Era Magazine.

The future belongs to entrepreneurs who innovate for the planet. Will your brand be one of them?

7. No-Code Platforms for Business: Build Faster, Launch Smarter

Gone are the days when launching a tech product meant hiring a full-stack development team or knowing how to code. Thanks to the no-code revolution, today's entrepreneurs can build powerful web apps, automations, and internal tools without writing a single line of code.

Platforms like Bubble, Glide, and Webflow empower founders to test, validate, and scale digital products at a fraction of the time and cost.

Whether you're a solopreneur validating a SaaS idea or a small business owner digitizing operations, no-code platforms offer agility and autonomy. Some profitable no-code business models include:

Client portals or custom dashboards for niche industries like coaching, HR, or logistics

Marketplace websites or subscription communities powered by tools like Softr or Outseta

Internal workflow automation tools that replace spreadsheets and manual processes

MVPs for SaaS startups, saving tens of thousands in early-stage development

Real-world example: NocodeAPI, an Indian startup built entirely without code, now serves 10,000+ users globally and generates recurring revenue proving that execution beats engineering when speed is key.

And here’s the kicker: no-code isn’t just for side projects anymore. Venture-backed startups are now using no-code tools to build and scale their core platforms.

Want to stay ahead of the curve in tech-enabled entrepreneurship? Explore Entrepreneurial Era Magazine’s guide to "No-Code Startups That Made It Big" and get exclusive interviews with founders who built 6-figure platforms without hiring a dev team.

In 2025, the real startup advantage isn’t knowing code, it's knowing what to build.

8. Micro SaaS for Micro Problems: Big Profits from Small Pain Points

In the startup world of 2025, lean is powerful. And that’s exactly why Micro SaaS small-scale, narrowly focused software solutions are booming. These are not sprawling platforms trying to be everything for everyone. Instead, they solve one painful problem for one specific audience and they do it exceptionally well.

Think tools like:

Automated Instagram schedulers built just for fitness coaches

Freelancer income trackers designed for solopreneurs juggling multiple clients

Onboarding portals for small HR consultancies

Niche CRM tools tailored for real estate agents, yoga instructors, or consultants 

Micro SaaS = low overhead, high margins, and built-in product-market fit.

These platforms often require little more than a no-code tool or a single developer and can generate predictable monthly recurring revenue (MRR). Their strength lies in hyper-targeted utility users who don't just like the tool, they rely on it.

Want inspiration from Micro SaaS founders who scaled to 5-figures MRR? Check out Entrepreneurial Era Magazine's deep dive on "Indie SaaS Founders Crushing It in India" and learn how tiny tools are winning big.

And the best part? Micro SaaS scales without stress and no need for huge teams, venture capital, or complex infrastructure. It’s the perfect model for solo founders, remote builders, or consulting firms looking to diversify with digital products.

In 2025, micro problems = macro profits. The question is: what problem can you solve today?

9. Turn Local Services into Scalable Online Models

Running a traditional business like consulting, legal services, or event planning? In 2025, it's time to go digital.

By transitioning from offline to online, you can package your expertise into scalable assets like webinars, downloadable guides, online courses, or even automated booking and delivery systems.

✅ Why it works:

Break geographic limits

Serve clients 24/7

Generate passive income

Streamline operations with tech

Example: A wedding planner turns her process into a self-paced course and reaches clients globally without stepping out of her city.

If your business still relies on face-to-face only, you're leaving growth on the table.

10. Build a Content-to-Commerce Funnel

Modern brands grow audiences before they sell. In 2025, content is your storefront and it doesn’t require ad spend.

Start with high-value content: YouTube tutorials, insightful blog posts, or authentic podcasts. Once you build trust, guide your audience to related offers like courses, digital tools, or merch.

Why it works:

Audience-first growth

Zero ad dependency

High engagement and trust

Example: A YouTuber sharing productivity hacks launches a digital planner that sells out thanks to her loyal viewer base.

Master content-led monetization with insights from Entrepreneurial Era Magazine.

11. Partner-Led Growth

Strategic alliances are the new growth engine.

Collaborate with non-competing brands that share your audience. Run joint webinars, bundle offers, or co-create content.

✅ Why it works:

Shared audiences = faster reach

Built-in trust through association

Low acquisition cost

Example: A health tech startup partners with a fitness app for bundled coaching + diagnostics.

12. Data-Led Growth Strategies

Your next big move shouldn't be a guess it should be a decision backed by data.

Track user journeys, conversion heatmaps, and engagement rates to refine what works and cut what doesn’t. Use tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Mixpanel to uncover high-leverage growth moves.

Why it works:

Precision in marketing

Predictable revenue growth

Scalable experimentation

Dive into data-driven decision-making frameworks in Entrepreneurial Era Magazine.

13. Founder-as-a-Brand

In 2025, founder visibility = company credibility.

Build a personal brand that’s authentic, educational, and visionary. Share your thoughts on LinkedIn, behind-the-scenes on Instagram, or create founder vlogs on YouTube.

Why it works:

Builds trust fast

Attracts talent and investors

Humanizes your business

Tip: Consistency is more important than perfection. Document your journey.

14. Digital Product Ecosystems

Why sell one thing when you can create a value ladder?

Bundle complementary digital products like templates, eBooks, SaaS tools, and mini-courses into one cohesive ecosystem. This increases customer lifetime value and unlocks automated cross-selling.

Why it works:

Higher revenue per user

Deeper customer loyalty

Recurring income streams

Mobile Price in Bangladesh – Latest Updates and Best Deals 2024

Looking to buy a new mobile in Bangladesh? You’re not alone. With smartphones becoming a daily necessity for everyone from students to professionals, staying updated with the latest mobile price in bangladesh is more important than ever. The market is constantly changing, with new models launching every other week and price shifts due to global and local factors. Whether you're on a tight budget or eyeing the latest iPhone or Samsung flagship, this comprehensive guide has got you covered.

From brand-specific updates to in-depth comparison and exclusive deals, we’re diving deep into the mobile phone price in bd scene, so you can make the smartest choice possible. Let’s break it all down.

Introduction to Mobile Phone Market in Bangladesh

Growth and Evolution of the Mobile Market

Over the past decade, the mobile industry in Bangladesh has exploded. What used to be a market dominated by feature phones has turned into a hub for Android and iOS smartphones. With increasing internet penetration and widespread access to 4G (and incoming 5G), demand for smartphones has grown exponentially. According to BTRC reports, Bangladesh has over 180 million mobile connections and nearly 60% smartphone usage as of 2024.

This growth has sparked fierce competition among international and local brands. Companies like Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Realme have set up solid distribution channels here. Local brands like Walton and Symphony are also fighting for their share by offering value-for-money devices tailored for Bangladeshi users. Mobile price in BD has thus become more competitive than ever, offering more choices at better rates.

But while choices have expanded, so has confusion. Prices differ wildly across platforms, regions, and even stores. That’s where this guide comes in—to help you navigate the mobile jungle with clarity.

Why Mobile Price in BD Is a Hot Topic in 2024

It’s not just tech geeks who care about mobile pricing anymore. Everyone—from students to business owners—is looking to upgrade or buy a new device. With inflation, tax changes, and dollar fluctuations, the new mobile price in Bangladesh is always shifting. Add to that the launch of new models almost monthly, and it’s clear why people search terms like mobile phone price in BD multiple times a week.

In 2024, the importance of having a reliable smartphone goes beyond communication—it’s about productivity, entertainment, learning, and business. A decent smartphone is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. And knowing where and when to buy at the best price could save you thousands of Taka.

Factors Affecting Mobile Price in Bangladesh

Import Taxes and Duties

One of the biggest influencers on mobile price in bd is import tax. Bangladesh levies significant duties on imported smartphones, especially those that are fully assembled abroad. These taxes can range between 25% to 58% depending on the brand, phone type, and origin country.

Brands that assemble their devices locally, like Samsung, can offer better prices due to tax relief from the government. Local manufacturers like Walton and Symphony benefit further, offering feature-rich devices at a lower cost compared to imported options. So, if you're seeing a huge price gap between similar phones, taxes are often the culprit.

Exchange Rate and Dollar Impact

Another silent killer of mobile pricing in Bangladesh is the fluctuation in the USD-BDT exchange rate. Since most phones are priced in US dollars internationally, even a small change in exchange rates can cause a significant spike or dip in local prices. In 2024, the rising dollar has pushed flagship phone prices to record highs.

So, before buying a mobile, it’s smart to check the current exchange rate. Even waiting a few days could lead to a better deal if the currency shifts favorably. Pro tip: Subscribe to tech update channels or pages that report exchange-rate-based price changes—it could save you money.

Brand Positioning and Demand

Some phones are just more hyped than others. A new iPhone release or the latest Samsung Galaxy S-series launch can push the entire market pricing up, especially for older models which still hold value. High-demand devices usually carry premium prices for a few months after launch.

On the flip side, phones from emerging or budget-focused brands like Infinix, Tecno, and Lava try to undercut the competition with aggressive pricing. Understanding brand strategy can help you identify whether you're paying for genuine value or just brand hype.

New Mobile Price in Bangladesh – 2024 Highlights

Latest Flagship Phones and Their Prices

Let’s face it—everyone dreams of owning the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. In 2024, the flagship market is buzzing with the likes of iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, OnePlus 12, and Xiaomi 14 Pro.

Here are some average flagship mobile prices in BD as of April 2024:

Brand

Model

Price (BDT)

Apple

iPhone 15 Pro Max (256GB)

2,15,000 BDT

Samsung

Galaxy S24 Ultra (256GB)

1,80,000 BDT

Xiaomi

Xiaomi 14 Pro (256GB)

1,05,000 BDT

OnePlus

OnePlus 12 (12/256GB)

95,000 BDT

These phones come packed with high-end features—flagship processors, OLED displays, periscope cameras, and more. If you want the best of the best, this is the league to play in—but be ready to pay the premium.

Price Comparison – Mobile Price in BD vs Other Countries

India vs Bangladesh: Price Differences

Ever wondered why the same smartphone costs less in India than in Bangladesh? Well, you’re not alone. Many Bangladeshi buyers look toward Indian pricing as a reference—and for good reason. India has a larger tech market and lower import duties, especially since several global brands manufacture locally there.

Let’s compare a few models (as of April 2024):

Phone Model

Price in India (INR)

Price in BD (BDT)

Price Gap

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro

₹21,000

31,500 BDT

~5,000 BDT

Samsung Galaxy A54

₹36,000

55,000 BDT

~7,000 BDT

iPhone 15

₹80,000

1,35,000 BDT

~15,000+ BDT

Bangladesh has higher import taxes, shipping, and smaller-scale distribution, which all add to the final cost. Also, due to the weak Taka against the Rupee or Dollar, the price difference becomes even more apparent. While parallel imports are an option, they often void warranty and create risk with unauthorized IMEI numbers.

In conclusion, while India might offer cheaper prices, buying locally ensures service, authenticity, and support—which in many cases, outweigh the cost benefits of cross-border shopping.

Global Pricing Trends and Bangladesh Position

Worldwide, mobile prices are dictated by supply chain costs, component availability (like chipsets), and logistics. For instance, during the pandemic and post-pandemic years, global chip shortages caused prices to surge. In 2024, we’re seeing price normalization, but Bangladesh still lags due to slower distribution and high import dependence.

Countries like China and the UAE often get the best pricing due to being manufacturing or re-export hubs. In contrast, Bangladesh, despite growing demand, remains a consumer-only market with limited production, affecting pricing power.

So, while Bangladesh may not be the cheapest, local pricing is becoming more competitive—especially with government incentives to promote local assembly and support digital Bangladesh goals.

Top Mobile Brands and Their Pricing in Bangladesh

Samsung Mobile Price in Bangladesh

Samsung has a strong hold in the Bangladeshi smartphone market, from premium flagships to budget devices. Their local assembly plant in Narsingdi allows them to offer competitive pricing across categories.

Popular 2024 Samsung models and prices in BD:

Samsung Galaxy A14 (4/64GB) – 18,999 BDT

Samsung Galaxy A54 (8/128GB) – 54,999 BDT

Samsung Galaxy S24 (128GB) – 1,34,000 BDT

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (256GB) – 1,79,000 BDT

Buying Tips – How to Choose the Right Mobile for Your Budget

Specs to Focus on Based on Usage

Buying a smartphone can feel overwhelming with so many features thrown at you—camera megapixels, processors, refresh rate, RAM, storage, and the list goes on. But let’s simplify things based on how you use your phone:

For Basic Users (Calls, Messaging, Social Media):

Go for at least 2GB RAM and 32GB storage

Prefer Android Go edition for smooth performance

A decent 4,000 mAh battery will last the day

For Students and Moderate Users (Study, YouTube, Light Gaming):

Choose 4–6GB RAM and at least 64GB storage

A good MediaTek Helio or Snapdragon 600 series chip

Look for 6.5-inch HD+ or FHD+ displays

5,000 mAh battery with fast charging

For Heavy Users and Gamers:

Minimum 8GB RAM and 128GB storage

Snapdragon 700/800 series or Dimensity 900+

120Hz AMOLED screen preferred

Stereo speakers, advanced cooling systems

For Photography Enthusiasts:

64MP+ primary camera or OIS-supported sensors

Ultra-wide and macro lens support

4K video recording and good night mode software

Always balance the specs based on what matters to you. A flashy design or 108MP camera isn’t useful if the software experience is poor.

Avoiding Fake or Refurbished Phones

Sadly, fake phones and refurbished models being sold as new are a big issue in the BD market. Here’s how to protect yourself:

Check IMEI: Dial *#06# and verify the IMEI on BTRC’s site or the brand’s own checker.

Look for Sealed Box: Don’t accept phones with broken seals or without proper stickers.

Official Warranty Card: Always demand a warranty card stamped by the shop.

Avoid Too-Good-To-Be-True Deals: If the price is way lower than market average, it’s likely fake or refurbished.

Also, steer clear of grey market imports if you want brand warranty or future software updates.

Government Initiatives and Mobile Regulations

Smartphone Registration and IMEI Verification

To fight phone theft and illegal imports, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) introduced the NEIR system. It helps in:

Blocking unregistered phones from local networks

Ensuring buyers get official, genuine devices

Encouraging importers to follow legal channels

Before buying a phone, verify if the IMEI is registered through BTRC’s neir.btrc.gov.bd platform. If not registered, the phone could get blocked anytime—even if it's brand new.

Tax Reliefs and Local Manufacturing Boost

The government has taken solid steps to reduce mobile phone prices and promote local manufacturing:

VAT and Tax Benefits: Brands assembling phones locally pay significantly less in taxes, which is passed down to consumers.

Made in Bangladesh Tag: Samsung, Symphony, Walton, and some Xiaomi phones are now made or assembled locally.

Job Creation & Tech Transfer: These initiatives are also generating jobs and helping transfer tech knowledge to local workers.

So, by buying local or locally assembled phones, you’re not only saving money but also supporting Bangladesh’s economic and tech growth.

Mobile Accessories and Their Prices in BD

Headphones, Chargers, Screen Protectors

Smartphone accessories are just as important, and the right ones can greatly enhance your experience. But with so many cheap knock-offs in the market, you’ve got to know where to look.

Here’s an average pricing table:

Wired Earphones

Phone Covers

150–800 BDT

Silicon covers last longer

Fast Chargers (Original)

1,000–3,000 BDT

Buy from authorized shops

Always go for original or certified accessories. Third-party products might look the same but can harm your phone’s battery or display in the long run.

Popular Accessories Brands in Bangladesh

Remax

Baseus

Haylou

Joyroom

Ugreen

These brands offer a good balance between price and quality. Look for them online or at authorized outlets for warranty support.

Mobile Servicing, Warranty, and Customer Support in BD

Brand Authorized Service Centers

If your phone gets damaged or starts acting up, where you go for help can make all the difference. Most top brands in Bangladesh now have authorized service centers that offer:

Expert technicians

Popular service centers include:

Samsung Smart Plaza

Xiaomi Customer Care (ServicEngine)

Apple Authorised Resellers (iStore, Gadget & Gear)

Realme and Oppo Service Points

Make sure to bring your purchase receipt and warranty card for fast service.

Third-party Shops vs Company Support

Many local shops offer quick fixes at lower prices—but it comes with a risk. Here's a breakdown:

Service Type

Pros

Cons

Authorized

Genuine parts, warranty support

Slightly more expensive

Local Shops

Cheap, fast service

Fake parts, no guarantees

Online Warranty Support

Convenient scheduling

May take more time

If your phone is still under warranty, always go for official service. For older phones, local shops can be an economical option—but verify reviews first.

Upcoming Mobile Phones in Bangladesh

Leaks and Rumors for 2024 Launches

Tech lovers in BD always keep an eye on what’s next, and 2024 has some exciting phones coming soon:

Realme GT Neo 6

Xiaomi 14 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55

What to Expect from Major Brands

Samsung: More mid-range 5G phones under 40K BDT

Xiaomi: AI camera features and 200MP upgrades

iPhone: Foldable iPhone rumors swirl for late 2024

Realme: Gamers’ favorite line-up with better cooling

Infinix/Tecno: Affordable 5G with huge batteries

If you're planning to buy a phone soon but don't urgently need it, waiting a few weeks for the next release might just get you a better deal or upgraded specs for the same price.

When it comes to mobile price in Bangladesh, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Prices vary based on brand, features, specs, warranty, and of course, where you buy it from. Whether you're a student looking for a budget-friendly smartphone, a professional in need of a flagship device, or someone who just wants a reliable phone for everyday use, Bangladesh's mobile market has it all.

With the government promoting local assembly and regulating imports through IMEI registration, the market is becoming safer and more transparent for buyers. Shopping online on trusted platforms like Daraz or visiting physical outlets in tech hubs like Bashundhara City gives you flexibility, depending on how hands-on you want the buying experience to be.

Most importantly, always keep your personal needs and usage patterns in mind. Don’t just get swayed by what’s trending—get what fits you. Look beyond the hype, compare prices, read reviews, and check the IMEI. That way, you’re not just buying a phone, you’re investing in peace of mind.

Happy phone hunting!

Redemption

Pairing: Ushijima x Reader

Genre: NSFW, Fluff and Smut

Warnings: Slight Size Kink

Summary: When you find out Ushijima is a virgin, you offer to be his first and help him out. But in reality, you might be the one who needs some help.

Requested by Anon

There’s a comfortable quiet atmosphere between the two of you as Ushijima hands you a clean towel while you pant for breath. Technically speaking, there’s no reason why the two of you need to be together today on one of the few days the Schweiden Adlers had off, but you had a soft spot for the pro-athlete, so when he had asked if you wanted to go workout together at the team training gym, you agreed. You couldn’t deny you needed some exercise. Being a team manager didn’t mean you worked out much yourself, so you looked forward to sweating some extra calories. But you really should have known better than to expect just a normal workout with Ushijima sternly overseeing your routine. 

“Ushijima, you do realize I’m not a pro-athlete like you, right? You can’t expect me to keep up with you.” 

“Anyone can do anything if they set their minds on it and work hard enough.” 

You roll your eyes before fondly looking at the tall man beside you. Was he a little dense and a little too blunt? Sure. But you saw the heart of gold and genuineness within him. You’d always wondered why the man was still single. You know he’s sometimes an idiot when it comes to social cues and can’t hold small talk to save his life, but you’d seen far worse and less deserving men end up tricking some poor damsel into their spider webs. Surely you’re not the only one who sees the diamond in the rough that Ushijima really is? 

You don’t realize you’re intensely staring at him until he uncomfortably shifts. “It’s rude to stare.” You blush and quickly turn away from him, opting to chug your water as a distraction. Checking your phone, you gasp when you realize how late it is. “Shit, sorry, I really need to run…” You trail off and Ushijima narrows his eyes at you as a mischievous grin spreads across your face. He’s all too aware that the look doesn’t mean anything good for him. 

“What are you doing tonight?”

There’s a long pause before he grunts out “nothing” and you suddenly seem more intimidating than any opponent he’s faced across the net when your eyes light up and your head moves until it’s only inches away from his own. 

“Cool! So you’re going to a party with me then.” 

He blinks once at you before completely shutting you down with a resounding no. But really, after knowing you and working in such close proximity with you almost every day, he should realize how relentless you are once your mind is made up. 

“When’s the last time you talked to anyone outside of the team, coaches, trainers, and managers? And Tendou doesn’t count since he’s still technically volleyball related.” 

Ok, so maybe you had a point there. 

“We don’t even have practice for the next few days! So you’ll have time to rest up and recover and be totally back to 100% for the next practice.” 

You smile when you see his determined look slip a bit, but your jaw drops at his next words. “I’m not going to a party where you’re just going to ditch me to have sex with someone and then either complain or brag about it to me the next day.” 

You frantically cover his mouth with your hands as you nervously look around to make sure no one around had heard him. “USHIJIMA! I tell you these things because I expect you to keep quiet about them. Not just blabber it out for everyone to hear.” 

He impassively stares at you and you sigh as you remove your hands from his face before determinedly looking at him again. “But actually since you’ve already brought it up, I noticed you never have any spicy stories to tell me! It’s not fair if I’m the one who’s always sharing. When’s the last time you even had sex? It has to be stressful to not let off some steam in a more enjoyable way than volleyball.”  (Although you secretly wonder if Ushijima finds volleyball more pleasurable than sex. You wouldn’t doubt it.) But you squint as he suddenly seems less stoic than usual and...are his cheeks pink? 

“Ushijima, are you embarrassed? I literally tell you about all my sex exploits and you’re embarrassed by me just asking you when the last time you did it was?” Your voice trails off when a suspicion begins to form and your eyes soften as you more gently nudge him. “It’s okay if it’s been a long time. I know how busy you are. It’s not a reflection of you, I promise. But isn’t that more reason to come out with me tonight?” He mumbles something and you lean in, unable to make out the words, but when he repeats them, you freeze. 

A virgin? Ushijima was a virgin? 

You know you should say something instead of just staring at him like an idiot, but shock numbs you and only when he makes a move to get up and leave do you hastily grab his arm. Your mouth flounders as you try to come up with a response, but when you observe how vulnerable and sensitive the topic seems to be for him, your heart goes out to your friend and you shake the lingering surprise from you. 

“Hey, it’s not a big deal. I think it’s kind of sweet actually. Your first time should be special, with someone you really care about. You shouldn’t ever feel ashamed about the fact that you haven’t done it. Hell, I wish I hadn’t been so quick to lose my virginity to some asshole in college.” 

You smile when you see his shoulders straighten and maybe it’s the slight upturned twitch of his lips or maybe it’s the way dark olive eyes glow when they look at you, but you don’t even register the words that come tumbling from your lips until they hang heavy in the air. 

“I could be your first if you wanted.” 

You are a fucking idiot. You scramble to figure out a way to take back those words, already preparing for Ushijima to angrily end any friendship the two of you had, already dreading how you’re going to manage a team when one of the starters hates you. Your mind is reeling so hard from the dark future you’ve painted for yourself in your head that you almost miss what Ushijima says. 

“Okay.” 

Suffice to say, all plans to go to your party fly out the window and you send an apologetic text to your friend. Ushijima and you go to your respective locker rooms to wash up and freshen up before trekking back to your apartment. The walk isn’t uncomfortable per se, but there’s an electric energy radiating between the two of you as you walk silently next to each other. And shit, you’re not the virgin, but why is your heart beating so hard and so fast that you think it might literally explode from your chest? You scowl at yourself as your hands tremble when you unlock and open your front door and when Ushijima’s back is turned to you as he removes his shoes, you mentally slap yourself to get it together. 

With renewed confidence, you firmly grasp his larger wrist and tug him along to your bedroom where you gently push him onto the bed. You take a moment to revel in the power you feel from being in charge of the stronger, larger man underneath you and arousal stirs within you from Ushijima’s submission and willingness to let you have your way with him. It’s the most vulnerable you’ve ever seen him and your heart warms as you lean down to softly kiss him, smiling against his lips when you feel him tentatively reciprocate. Kissing Ushijima feels like what you imagine completing a satisfying day's work on the farm feels like. You can almost taste the sturdiness, the comforting warmth of a fireplace burning as you return from the fields, and the authentic, humble roots on his lips. There’s no frills, no pretenses. It’s purely Ushijima and you love it. 

You think you could spend all night just kissing him if you wanted to, but you remind yourself of tonight’s mission. You trail your fingers down his chest until you reach the hem of his shirt which you begin to roll up until it reaches the top of his torso and he helps you fully remove it. Sitting upright on his thighs, you can feel yourself salivate as you take in the broad expanse of his upper body on display for you. You’ve seen it before, but in the dim light of your bedroom and splayed across your bedsheets, it’s mesmerizing and you can’t help the way you unconsciously run your hands across every inch of taut muscle and kiss random lines across chiseled lines. You smirk when you feel Ushijima’s groin thrust up when you coyly flick a nipple with your tongue and you stare at him as you begin to suck on the hardening bud, drinking in the sight of the usually reserved man letting out breathy moans as you continue your ministrations.

You want to tease him more, coax more sounds out of him, but the feeling of something hard prodding your stomach keeps you moving on and you pointedly tug on the waistband of his pants until he gets the memo and raises his hips to allow you to remove everything until he’s completely bare before you. And any confidence you had built up shatters. 

If you’re entirely honest, you’d had your fair share of wet dreams imagining what Ushijima was hiding underneath his shorts, but when faced with reality that’s somehow even larger than anything you had even dreamt of, you bite your bottom nervously as your pussy clenches at the thought of trying to fit him inside of you. You’re not sure if it’s lust or nerves that has your stomach twisting as you wrap a hand around his impressive girth. Probably both, you think, as your throat goes dry and your thighs squeeze together when you see how your entire fist barely covers less than half of him. 

Your attention is brought back to the man underneath you when you hear a low groan as you stroke your fist up and down his shaft, giving some extra attention to the leaking slit at the tip. Your other hand reaches underneath your panties and circles your clit. You’ll need to be absolutely drenched before you can even think of trying to take him. But it’s not hard for your cunt to become a sopping mess when you stare in awe at the way Ushijima writhes underneath you, releasing low breathy pants and grunts that you can feel rumbling throughout his body. Already feeling a wet spot seeping through your clothes, you affectionately kiss him once more before briefly getting up to quickly strip down. His eyes hungrily devour the sight of your naked figure as you crawl back above him and adjust your position until you feel his tip nudging at your entrance. 

You close your eyes and moan as you slowly lower yourself onto him, but even as wet as you are, you can barely take half of him inside you as he stretches you far beyond any person or any toy has. Yet, despite the discomfort and borderline pain of the stretch, you feel even more of your arousal dripping down your thigh as you continuously lift and lower yourself, always pushing slightly harder, slightly further than where you’d been before. Your eyes roll back from the feeling of being so full and your nails dig into Ushijima’s shoulders as you desperately continue to work his entire length into you. But you reach your limit and you swear you can feel him inside of your womb even though there’s still about a quarter more of his cock waiting to penetrate you. You take a deep breath and exhale as you try to sink further down, but you let out a broken moan when fingers twist and tug your nipples. 

Ushijima intensely observes you as he kneads your fleshy mounds, playing with your hardened nubs until he sees the tiny furrow on your forehead smooth out. He sits up and bends his neck to soothingly kiss you. A primal instinct in him had been entranced at the sight of your much smaller figure struggling to take just a part of him and he had to use every bit of will power he had to not instantly cum at the feeling of your warm and wet walls squeezing around him. But when he saw the hints of pain you tried to push past written all over your face, a desire to make you feel only pleasure had overtaken him. 

He continues running his fingers across your chest as your tongues twist and turn against each other and you moan into his mouth as you reach a hand down to furiously rub against your clit until you feel another surge of arousal and more fluids run down your inner thigh. You guide his hands to your waist before continuing to rub your clit and you urge him to help you as you clash your lips against his once more. But you tear away from his mouth in a silent scream as he grabs you and forcefully pushes you down and down until your lower bodies press tightly against each other, any space between them removed. Ushijima’s eyes are glued to your face and he takes in the way your eyes widen and your jaw drops open as you claw at his arms, leaving angry red trails as your body tries to adjust to literally being stuffed full. He patiently waits until your nails stop their frantic clawing and he drops his forehead to your shoulder with a groan as you begin to rock your hips up and down. 

He can feel the sloppy mess you’re making as you continue to flood the sheets underneath with your seemingly never ending arousal, but he can’t bring himself to care as your pace speeds up until you’re practically bouncing in his lap as you desperately chase your end. You scream when he tightens his grip on your waist and assists you, slamming you down and easily picking you up before slamming you down again, perfectly matching your rhythm until everything blends together and you don’t even know who’s doing what anymore. All you know is the feeling of Ushijima’s cock sliding and pressing against every inch and every crevice of your pussy, filling you so well you wonder if you’ll ever be satisfied with anything else inside of you after this. 

You can’t even bring yourself to feel ashamed by the wanton wail you let out as you reach a higher peak than you’ve ever reached before and your entire body shakes with pleasure as Ushijima continues to lift and lower your body even without any support from you until he harshly pushes you down one last time and holds you still as he releases thick spurts deep inside of you, so deep that even in the haze of your orgasm you’re grateful you’re on birth control because you’re sure he’s coating your actual womb with how far inside he seems to reach. You slump into his chest and let yourself be maneuvered by him until the two of you are lying side by side, facing each other, your lower bodies still intimately connected. 

The two of you lay there for a while and you instinctively nuzzle your face into his chest as his arms tenderly wrap around you, pulling you even closer to him and you both take quiet comfort in the sounds of your heavy breaths filling the air. But when your heart beats slow and your breathing evens out, you cringe in embarrassment. 

“Ushijima, I’m so sorry. This was your first time. I should have been the one taking care of you, but you ended up needing to step in and take charge.” There’s a stretch of silence before you feel one of his arms move and a hand lightly nudges your head up to look at him. Your heart flutters when you see the most gentle smile you’ve ever seen on his face.  

“Wakatoshi. Call me Wakatoshi.”

You see a flash of uncertainty in his usually confident eyes as he hesitantly inches his face closer to yours, but you grin as you meet him halfway and your lips slot against each other like two puzzle pieces perfectly connecting. You close your eyes and relish the peaceful moment for a bit before using the element of surprise and pushing against him until he’s on his back underneath you once more. You playfully clench your pussy walls and smirk at the way he throws his head back and hisses at the feeling. You can feel him begin to harden once more inside of you and when he looks back at you, you shoot a wink his way. 

“Let me redeem myself, Wakatoshi.”  

[star-anise]

I don't know if this is crossing boundaries to ask so feel free to ignore, but do you have any advice for someone with rejection-sensitive dysphoria, an intolerance for ambiguity and a history of social ostracization / access to the In-Group being dependent on Some Unsafe Shit for figuring out where one stands with an online social circle? Like, if one really feels like they're being neglected / put on a shelf, but doesn't know how to address it without receiving platitudes that it's not

(insecurity ask cont.) Really that bad / wasn't intentional / sure they still LIKE one they just kept happening to be busy at the time - etc. Basically figuring a way through the situation if one doesn't want to do what the Anxiety wants, which is cut run and self isolate, but doesn't find the allistic normative reassurance of "oh no we really do want you around sweaty : )" reassuring or helpful in the least.

This is a live topic of discussion in my friend-groups, since my close social circle is like 95% people with a history of being bullied, serious brainweasels* around social shit and rejection, ASD and/or ADHD, and seriously geeky social skills. So my response is not like, “We have a Method! It works! I’m patenting it!” nearly so much as “Um... this is what seems not to have exploded too badly so far.” And I’m answering this publicly rather than privately because other people have useful things to contribute too. 

*(Brainweasel = little nasty thing that eats your brain)

(Like seriously if anyone DOES have A Method I’m all ears because I still do the self-isolation self-destruct way too easily)

Anyway. THE GOOD STUFF (which got really long):

I’ve personally found that it helps to make it really clear to people that if something is wrong, I want to know. I literally say, “My personal definition of Hell is when I think I’m having a happy fun time with a friend who is enjoying themselves, but in reality, I’m annoying them and they secretly resent me for it. Please don’t put me in that situation.”  It’s kind of the opposite of asking for validation--it’s trying to reduce my own emotional hypervigilance, and also shifting the burden of dealing with the problem to the other person. Now, if they find me annoying, they have to do something about it--either spend less time with me, or let me know what’s up.

Asking for things and saying “No is an okay answer!”

Being open about my wants and needs while also letting people know how much I’m willing to compromise. “I don’t know what anybody else is feeling, but for dinner I have a mild preference for pizza,” or “I’m in the kind of mood where I basically want someone to talk to about this creative project for an hour in a really intense, informed, and interested way that also doesn’t step on my creative vision’s toes, or I don’t want to talk about it at all. So unless someone really wants to talk about it, how’s the weather?”

If you can find people who are geeks about feelings and have done a lot of introspection and can be very honest, and basically didn’t think that Twitter thread about asking friends for consent for emotional labour was a bad thing? That’s probably going to help, since when you’re all in the middle of dealing with moderate-to-severe brainweasels that is the kind of wrangling that needs to happen.

Hacking into Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, if you can do it. I’ve had to explain to several people now: DBT is fundamentally about trying to unlearn you from a system of If I Only Behave A Certain Way, Life Will Finally Work Out, to having a more flexible, more adaptive set of skills that you can see in a kind of pro/con fashion and decide which of life’s sucky parts you’d rather deal with because it gets you your preferred set of upsides. The problem is: DBT kind of presents itself as a system of If You Only Behave A Certain Way, Life Will Finally Work Out! So especially for my Autistic friends, doing DBT, while useful, involves considerable arguing with the system, deciding which of it works for you and which of it doesn’t, and hacking it apart and rearranging it in your own idiosyncratic way. This isn’t actually failing to do DBT, it’s using the methods DBT teaches you on DBT itself. 

Finding a therapist who can treat baseline-neurodivergent LGBTQ+ nerds with complex trauma IS difficult, but not impossible. Not every therapist can do it. (I personally am considering giving up finding one in my city, and making use of the temporary relaxation of restrictions on distance practice across jurisdictional boundaries thanks to COVID-19 and phoning up my old therapist a province over.) If you can’t get a personal recommendation, I recommend literally cold-emailing about a half-dozen likely suspects from Psychology Today or Theravive and asking them, “Do you have any training or experience in treating [geeks/adults with complex trauma/queer people/whatever has made therapists act like cats with boots on around you before]?”

To wildly veer back to your original question

Imagine something that someone could do for you that would make you feel warm and loved. Something that would take a minute or less to do. When you’re feeling unloved, say “I’m feeling down, could anyone do [this thing] for me?” That’s literally why I ask people to show me cat pictures--I have times when I feel sad and alone and like the entire world hates me, and that’s a VERY big feeling for anyone to step in and fill, so instead? I ask for cat pics.

This, I should add, required going back into my trauma memories and deprogramming the origin of my Nice Things Are Evil Poison If I Asked The Person To Be Nice To Me brainweasel. Which is part of why I’m so insistent on asking people not to put me in my personal Hell situation.

Like, sometimes with my clients, we literally create a restaurant menu of Things People Could Do If They Wanted To Be Nice To Me, ranging from cheap $5 items like cat pics and memes to $200 bottles of wine that would be getting married and taking out a mortgage together. Sometimes we talk Love Languages just to go through several different sensory modalities. Then, if creating that menu wasn’t scary enough, they start telling their friends what’s on the list. “I really like things with dragons on them” or "I love to know when somebody’s thinking of me even when I’m not there” or “I really wish I had someone to watch movies with”. This reduces the cognitive load if somebody wants to reach out to you but doesn’t know how.

Relatedly: If you’re in a bad mood and doing something to self-regulate, you might consider letting people know what’s going on. People who are merely being civil might interpret “I’m feeling terrible about myself today” as “You are now socially obligated to blow smoke up my ass”; moderating the statement with a positive attempt to make things better, like “I’m focusing on my shoes a lot today because I feel like crap but they make me happy” or “I’m going to go try to shake this awful mood with Netflix” removes that pressure because it’s a problem with a built-in solution, so they’re not socially impolite if they ignore it. If people want to be emotionally closer to you, it opens the door for them to either ask about your problem, or contribute to your solution (”Oooh, I do like those shoes”) (”Have you seen this new series?”).

Okay so

Here’s the other thing

When you’re used to the one being rejected, you can spend SO much energy trying to make relationships work, and when they don’t, you just kind of shut down and fall over

What if (if you scraped together enough spare Cope) you said to yourself, “Whatever is going on--whether it’s them, or me, or whatever--I am not getting my needs met, so I’m going to back away from them a bit and focus on finding something new? They may not be evil or bad, but I’m going to downgrade them on my priority list.”

Like I’m just saying: Think about it. Every once in a while it’s possible it isn’t your fault, but the other person... just isn’t up to being the kind of friend you need right now, and no effort of yours can improve them at this time, so you’re going to let them shape up if they can but start focusing your attention elsewhere.

I realize that’s like the social equivalent of asking a homeless person to dip into their savings and start a business. But, just... sometimes you just need better friends.

Okay, it’s 2am and I’ve run out of ideas. Anyone else?

Exploding Topics Review: Uncover Trends Before They Blow Up!

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/exploding-topics-review-uncover-trends-before-they-blow-up/

Exploding Topics Review: Uncover Trends Before They Blow Up!

As an SEO specialist, I’m constantly looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve. After all, SEO isn’t just about optimizing for what’s popular right now, but anticipating what’s coming next. It’s about spotting the trends before they become mainstream, so you can create content that resonates when it matters most. That’s why staying on top of emerging trends is more critical than ever!

I’ve heard a lot about Exploding Topics and was excited to do a personal deep dive into it. Co-founded by Brian Dean (an SEO legend!) it’s a game-changing tool that helps you spot trends before they explode into mainstream consciousness!

What I love about Exploding Topics is that (unlike Google Trends) it doesn’t just show you what’s already trending. It helps you identify trends before they even become popular.

While Google Trends is great for giving me real-time data on what’s hot right now, Exploding Topics digs deeper by analyzing the growth patterns of topics over time so I can spot emerging trends that are on the rise but haven’t hit the mainstream yet. This early insight allows me to create content that’s ahead of the curve, giving me a strategic advantage!

In this Exploding Topics review, I’ll discuss the pros and cons, what it is, who it’s best for, and its key features. Then, I’ll show you how I used Exploding Topics to uncover emerging trends, boost my content strategy, and ultimately stay ahead of the competition.

I’ll finish the article by comparing Exploding Topics with my top three alternatives (Trends Critical, Brandwatch, and Talkwalker). By the end, you’ll know if Exploding Topics is right for you!

Verdict

Exploding Topics is an excellent tool for uncovering emerging trends, creating timely content, and staying ahead of market shifts. However, its cost, limited niche coverage, and occasional fluctuations in trend accuracy may make it less ideal for smaller businesses or highly specialized industries.

Pros and Cons

Helps users discover emerging trends before they become mainstream

Provides fresh ideas for timely, relevant content that resonates with target audiences

Stay ahead of market shifts and adapt quickly to changes in consumer demand

Offers valuable information for making informed business decisions

Easy to navigate and understand

Covers a wide range of industries and topics

Provides access to past trend information

It can be expensive, especially for smaller businesses or individual users

The accuracy of trend predictions may fluctuate

It may not cover all niche industries equally well

Some identified trends may lose relevance quickly

The trends are restricted to predefined categories

The starter plan only allows 10 topic searches

The exact sources of trend data are not always clear

What is Exploding Topics?

At its core, Exploding Topics is a massive trend detection engine that uses artificial intelligence to analyze millions of data points across the Internet. We’re talking everything including Google search data, social media, news articles, and online discussions. It identifies trends at least 6 months before they go mainstream!

Trend Detection Algorithm & Data Sources

The Trend Detection algorithm doesn’t just look for spikes in popularity. Instead, it analyzes the growth pattern of topics over time, looking for sustained, organic growth curves.

For example, let’s say you’re researching sustainable fashion trends. The platform can help you spot bamboo fabric as an emerging trend because it shows consistent growth over the years, not just a temporary surge.

Free vs. Pro Versions

The free version of Exploding Topics gives you access to basic trend data and limited historical information. But if you’re serious about trend research, the pro version is worth investing in!

You get daily trend updates, advanced filters, and trend forecasting capabilities which can help spot potentially profitable niches early on. You’ll also get access to Pro features, like Meta Trends, trending products and startups, and API access (in higher-tier plans).

Pro users can also view very new trends peaking in the last 3-6 months, which isn’t available in the free version. Plus, the historical data goes back several years, allowing you to differentiate between seasonal spikes and genuine long-term trends!

Meta Categories

One thing that took me a bit to figure out was how to effectively use the Meta Trends. These are like trend clusters that show you the bigger picture of related topics!

The Meta Trends feature provides a visual representation of umbrella topics and their related subtopics. When you click on a Meta Trend, you’ll see a diagram with an inner ring of popular micro trends and an outer ring of related trending topics.

When exploring Meta Trends, you might discover how seemingly separate topics are interconnected. For example, a broad trend like “Premium Snacks” might include various related trending subtopics, helping you understand the larger market context.

Using Meta Trends can help you identify emerging niches within broader markets and understand the complex relationships between different trending topics. It’s an excellent way to get a more comprehensive view of trend dynamics beyond individual topic analysis.

While the platform is powerful, it’s not without limitations. Sometimes you’ll need to combine its insights with other research tools like Semrush, Google Trends, or other research platforms to get a well-rounded view of emerging market opportunities!

Who is Exploding Topics Best For?

Exploding Topics is best suited for these types of people:

Bloggers and Content Marketers can use Exploding Topics to find fresh, engaging topics with high search potential, discover content ideas that haven’t been extensively covered, and create content that drives traffic.

SEO Professionals can use Exploding Topics to identify low-competition keywords linked to rapidly growing trends, help clients get quick ranking results, and stand out in competitive digital landscapes.

Investors can use Exploding Topics to uncover promising trends and emerging startups and gain insights into untapped market potential.

Entrepreneurs can use Exploding Topics to validate business ideas, spot market gaps before they become saturated, and position themselves to offer groundbreaking products or services.

Industries with Significant Potential can use Exploding Topics to track trends in technology (AI, machine learning, blockchain), e-commerce, marketing, health, and finance.

Exploding Topics Key Features

This platform comes with eight key features.

1. Trend Tracking

When I first used the Trend Tracking feature, I was impressed by how comprehensive it was. It doesn’t just show you what’s trending. It breaks down the growth pattern with detailed metrics!

The Trend Tracking tool focuses on overall growth patterns, search volume trends, and future projections. It provides the following key features for trend analysis:

Historical data going back up to 15 years

Search volume for the previous month and growth over selected periods

Trend forecasting using AI prediction for the next year (in some plans)

Channel breakdown showing where the topic is most popular on social media

Related trends for additional context

2. Trends Database

The Trends Database has become my go-to resource for research. It’s massive (we’re talking hundreds of thousands of tracked topics across dozens of categories!) It also covers 31+ categories including AI, pets, marketing, tech, food, gaming, design, and travel.

What I love most is the filtering system. You can refine the data by growth rate, time period, and type (brand or non-brand).

The database is updated daily, so you have access to the most current trend information. Each trend includes a graph of historical Google Search volume so you can understand the trend’s growth trajectory and stability over time.

Pro users can export this data into CSV files, making it easy to conduct deeper analysis outside the platform.

3. Trend Analysis

For Trend Analysis, Exploding Topics is really good at providing context. It’s not just raw numbers. You get detailed insights about why a trend is growing!

The correlation analysis has been particularly useful.

For example, you might discover that the rise in “mushroom coffee” is strongly correlated with broader trends in functional beverages and natural nootropics. This kind of insight can help create much more comprehensive content!

4. Trending Startups

The Trending Startups tool is great for staying ahead of industry innovations.

Each startup listing includes:

Company name and description

Founded date

Total funding and latest funding round

Number of employees

Location

Website and social platform links (if available)

It’s an excellent tool for identifying emerging business models and product categories before they hit mainstream awareness.

5. Trending Products

The Trending Products feature saves countless hours of market research. It offers insights into trending products across various categories.

Here’s what sets it apart:

Uses AI and machine learning to analyze data from multiple sources (including Google Search, social media, and e-commerce sites)

Provides growth trends and forecasts for products

Shows top sellers and brands for each product

It also provides monthly sales data for products, average review information, and Google search volume trends to gauge consumer interest.

The tool aims to identify products with long-term growth potential rather than just current bestsellers. You can track products of interest and receive real-time updates on trend data.

6. Meta Trends

Meta Trends might be the most powerful feature for strategic planning. It visually represents umbrella topics and their related subtopics, showing interconnected trends within larger markets.

When you click on a Meta Trend, you see a diagram with an inner ring of popular micro trends and an outer ring of related trending topics. This helps identify fast-growing niche trends within broader markets, providing a list of growing keywords, brands, and products in that niche.

For example, I discovered trending AI chatbots like Yellow AI and Elise AI were all part of a larger meta trend in AI Chatbots. This helped me develop a much more coherent content strategy by providing insights into emerging niches and understanding the complex relationships between different trending topics!

7. Reports Library

The Reports Library offers curated trends and comprehensive analyses delivered weekly. It provides valuable insights that help paint a picture of where markets are heading.

Each report is divided into two main segments:

“Early bird companies”

“Tomorrow’s products today”

In every report, you’ll find:

Four trending products

Four companies making waves

Detailed insights for each trend and company

8. API Access

Exploding Topics offers API access for Pro Business subscribers. The API lets you retrieve and analyze topics in real time, with up to 60 requests per minute.

Key features of the Exploding Topics API include:

Access to trending topics, including descriptions, detection dates, and monthly search volumes

Data on popular e-commerce products, including growth levels and search metrics

Information on trending startups

Historical data going back 15 years, with daily updates

The API can be integrated into existing analytics systems and content planning tools to streamline your workflow. You can even build custom dashboards, create visualizations, and set up automatic reminders or workflows based on trend data.

It’s flexible and easy to use with REST architecture. It’s also managed directly by Exploding Topics for live and accurate data and comes with hands-on support if needed.

Combining These Features

Something I’ve learned is to use these features in combination.

For example, I often start with Meta Trends to identify broad movements, then drill down using the Trends Database, validate with the Products section, and finally use the API to monitor specific metrics automatically. This integrated approach has helped me spot opportunities I might have missed looking at any single feature in isolation.

Just remember that like any tool, these features work best when you have a clear strategy for using them. It took me some time to develop an efficient workflow, but now I can quickly assess new opportunities and make data-driven decisions about content direction.

The real power comes from understanding how these features complement each other. For example, when I identify a promising trend in the database, I can quickly validate it against startup activity and product demand and then set up API monitoring for ongoing tracking. This comprehensive approach has helped me stay ahead of market shifts rather than just reacting to them!

How to Use Exploding Topics

Here’s how I used Exploding Topics to identify rising trends in my niche:

Create an Account

Go to Meta Trends

View All Meta Trends

Select a Trend

Track a Topic

Create a New Project

View Your Project

Select a Topic

Analyze Topic Metrics

View Related Trends

Find Trends in Your Niche

Step 1: Create an Account

I started by going to explodingtopics.com and hitting “Pro” on the top right and then “Sign In.”

After creating an account and signing up for a Pro plan, I was taken to the Trend Tracking tab!

Step 2: Go to Meta Trends

First things first: start with the Meta Trends section which you can find near the bottom of the navigation panel. Instead of getting lost in individual trends, I’ve learned to use this tool to look at broader category movements.

Step 3: View All Meta Trends

To view all meta trends, I clicked “All Meta Trends” on the top right.

Step 4: Select a Trend

From here, I could view all of my meta trends in one place and choose the one I wanted to dive deeper into.

I selected “View Analysis” on “AI Chatbots.”

Selecting “View Analysis” gave me a brief background and analysis of AI chatbots, as well as a chart with two rings:

Inner ring: Micro trends within AI chatbots

Outer ring: Other trends related to AI chatbots

Step 5: Track a Topic

Selecting one of the trending topics presented a graph showing the volume and growth over the past couple of years. Beneath this graph, I could hit “Track Topic” to start tracking it!

When deciding which topics you want to track on Exploding Topics, pay attention to the platform’s trend indicators. Look for trends with:

Steady upward growth trajectories

Increasing search volume

“Exploding” or early-stage status

I’ve had success targeting topics that are just beginning to gain traction but haven’t reached peak popularity. These emerging trends often represent the perfect timing for content creation or business strategy. By identifying trends before they become mainstream, you can position yourself ahead of the competition.

The meta trends on Exploding Topics are an excellent way to discover topics you might think are a single trend but are actually part of a larger movement. It’s a great way to identify niche opportunities within larger markets! If you’re an SEO specialist like me, it’s an excellent way to create content clusters to establish topical authority and really start ranking in the SERPs.

Step 6: Create a New Project

Hitting “Track Topic” opens a small window with existing projects I can add the topic to. Alternatively, I could create a new project, which is what I selected.

Next, I had to give my project a name. I called it “AI Tools” and hit “Create.”

Step 7: View Your Project

Heading over to the “Trend Tracking” tab was my new project and topic! I hit “View Project” to see more.

Step 8: Select a Topic

Hitting “View Project” took me to a page where I could view my topics, growth, and volume within the project. I selected the topic I had just added.

Step 9: Analyze Topic Metrics

This gave me much deeper insights into:

The topics growth over time (up to 15 years!) and project forecast over the next 12 months

What the topic was about

A breakdown of the topic’s activity on each social channel

Key indicators of the topic’s growth, speed, etc.

Step 10: View Related Trends

Below that were trends related to my topic, including their growth metrics.

Step 11: Find Trends in Your Niche

The Trends Database is another excellent tool for finding trending topics in your specific niche. At the top, you can search for specific trends, or look through the different categories.

But don’t just stick to your main niche. Explore adjacent categories too to find even more opportunities!

To find trends in my niche, I selected the “Trends Database” from the navigation menu and filtered through the categories. In my case, I wanted to find more AI trends, so I went to “Technology” and selected “Artificial Intelligence.”

Next, I was presented with tens of thousands of Artificial Intelligence topics I could sort by trends, growth, volume, timeframe, and type (brands or non-brands). I could select any of these topics to get deeper insights and add them to my projects to track over time, or I could export the trend data to a CSV!

The real power of Exploding Topics isn’t just in finding trends. It’s in understanding how to time your content strategy around them.

I’ve found that targeting trends when they’re in the early growth phase, rather than at their peak, usually leads to better long-term results!

Overall, Exploding Topics helped me uncover emerging trends before they hit the mainstream for a competitive edge. By tracking and analyzing trends, I was able to create targeted strategies to boost my content’s relevance and reach!

Top 3 Exploding Topics Alternatives

Herer are the best Exploding Topics alternatives.

Trends Critical

The first Exploding Topics alternative I’d recommend is Trends Critical. I love Trends Critical for its AI tools that simplify turning insights into real-world results! The tool aims to “skip hours of trend research” and offers a unique approach of combining “Trends + AI + Partners = Faster and Better Outcomes”.

Both platforms focus on identifying emerging trends and valuable insights for businesses and individuals aiming to stay ahead of market changes. Exploding Topics casts a wide net across industries, analyzing millions of online interactions to identify trends before they take off. Meanwhile, Trends Critical goes further with insights powered by AI. It offers cross-industry trend integration, real-life trend validation, and customizable tools tailored to specific workflows.

Exploding Topics excels in simplicity, ease of navigation, and providing broad trend insights through predefined categories. On the other hand, Trends Critical offers a more dynamic, AI-driven approach with personalized insights with support for over 50 languages and 40+ AI templates. While Exploding Topics may appeal to those seeking general trends, Trends Critical’s strengths lie in its ability to offer niche, personalized insights and tools for converting trends into actionable strategies.

For a straightforward way to discover broad trends and generate content ideas, choose Exploding Topics. For AI-driven, customizable insights to transform trends into concrete business actions, Trends Critical is the better fit!

Brandwatch

The next Exploding Topics alternative I’d recommend is Brandwatch. Brandwatch is excellent at providing detailed historical context and actionable real-time insights through its advanced AI capabilities. They recently launched an AI-powered React Score that provides real-time brand reputation insights!

Both platforms help identify trends, but their approaches and focus areas differ.

Exploding Topics uses a broad algorithm to analyze millions of searches, conversations, and mentions. This makes Exploding Topics the better choice for spotting under-the-radar trends early. It’s easy to navigate and caters to content creators, marketers, and entrepreneurs looking to stay ahead of emerging markets. However, its predefined categories and limited niche coverage can be drawbacks.

Meanwhile, Brandwatch focuses on comprehensive consumer intelligence with historical and real-time data from 1.7 trillion conversations across diverse sources like social media, reviews, and news. Its AI tools provide deep insights through auto-segmentation, image analysis, and customizable visualizations for large-scale data analysis. Unlike Exploding Topics, Brandwatch offers powerful reporting tools to track and share insights, making it better suited for enterprises.

For a user-friendly tool to spot trends and create timely content, choose Exploding Topics. For a robust platform with deep consumer intelligence and market analysis, choose Brandwatch!

Talkwalker

The final Exploding Topics alternative I’d recommend is Talkwalker. Both tools are designed to help businesses stay ahead of trends, but they approach this goal differently.

Exploding Topics focuses on identifying early-stage trends by analyzing Internet searches and conversations. This is great for finding valuable insights for content creation. On the other hand, Talkwalker excels in social listening, media monitoring, and consumer intelligence. It also comes with comprehensive tools for reputation management and competitor analysis.

Exploding Topics is straightforward and excellent for discovering under-the-radar trends across predefined categories. Meanwhile, Talkwalker offers a broader scope, including crisis management and audience insights. It also uses Blue Silk™ GPT to decode real-time consumer insights and predict future KPIs with high accuracy, among other things. The major difference lies in Talkwalker’s emphasis on real-time monitoring and its ability to connect businesses with influential media partners while Exploding Topics remains focused on trend discovery.

If you’re looking for early-stage trend discovery and niche content ideas, choose Exploding Topics. For real-time insights, social media monitoring, and reputation management, choose Talkwalker!

Exploding Topics Review: The Right Tool For You?

After using Exploding Topics for trend discovery, it’s been an invaluable tool in staying ahead of market shifts and creating content that resonates. The ability to identify emerging trends before they hit the mainstream is something I didn’t expect to be so impactful! I’ve been able to create content around topics that were just starting to gain traction, positioning myself ahead of the curve.

The entire platform is easy to navigate and offers detailed insights, like search volume trends and future projections. I’ve been able to understand not just what’s trending, but why it’s growing. Plus, the Meta Trends feature helped me connect seemingly unrelated trends into larger movements. As an SEO specialist, this has been huge for creating content clusters to establish topical authority.

The only drawback I’d mention is that Exploding Topics doesn’t cover niche industries as deeply as I’d like. If you’re working in a very specialized field, you might find the coverage a bit limited. But for broader trends and content creation, this tool is solid.

Trends Critical is best if you’re looking for AI-powered, customizable trend insights across industries with a focus on real-world applications. It’s a great tool for creating actionable strategies.
