I apologize if this has already been mentioned but I must share something that works for me. In the initial WA training, Kyle mentions subscribing to Google Alerts to get updates on our niches.

In addition to that, you could also try looking for trade publications relevant to your niche as well. Not only will you stay updated on the industry, but you could get some inside information on new product releases and get your reviews together.

The great thing about trade magazines is that you can usually access them for FREE! They'll put the entire issue on their website without you needing to subscribe.

I personally write for the early childhood education niche so I read Earnshaws, Toy Box, and Toy Insider. Lots of times I can find reviews on new products that haven't hit the shelves yet so I'm ahead of the game.

A great website is freebizmag.tradepub.com. They have trade magazines organized by industry. I think it's a great place if you're in the business or technology niches. Personally, not a lot of education mags so I had to do some creative searching.

If you're using google, try typing something in like "your niche + trade magazines". You'll probably get some results that'll give you a good jumping off point.

I hope this short post helps someone, I think it's a great resource and I've been meaning to share it!
