Trend indicator

All M+Trends plans include a trend indicator on your files. It is integrated into M+ and StockSubmitter, so immediately after purchasing a subscription, you will notice colored badges with a flame icon and a number displaying the file's trendiness from 0 to 100.
The trend calculation algorithm is based on analyzing the arithmetic mean rating of all keywords, but the formula is much more complex and takes into account aspects such as the frequency of a keyword's use in other works on stock platforms or its alignment with the selected category and content type. Thus, the same keywords may be used more often for video than for photo, which increases the number of competitors for your work among videos. Accordingly, its trendiness will be lower, while a similar work with the same keywords among photos will have higher trendiness.
A few successful keywords can significantly increase your work's trendiness! They will help you enter narrow and trending niches, which means more frequent appearances in search results.
Search results change over time: people pick up certain trends, produce more works in a specific niche, or, conversely, some works become scarcer as demand grows, which also affects the indicator. We continually improve our calculation methods, so results may become more accurate, and for this reason, they may also decrease or increase without any action on your part. This last factor makes the indicator more honest and useful for you.
Works with a lower indicator value still have a chance to sell, but more trending works promise higher overall sales in the long run. And although this is just a tool, it can become a reliable guide in a situation of increasing competition in the microstock market.
