what's up guys welcome to a new top five
niches of the week video this one was a
little bit difficult to come up with

themed
designs that are selling right now
especially a lot of
brand protected designs a lot of like
disney
and marvel and even like dr seuss
uh you know those thing one thing two
shirts well there's even like variations
that apparently they've been selling
so i had to do a little bit d of uh
digging and you know i always do a
little bit of verification as well
before i recommend some niches
but i was able to find five good ones
that i'm confident are gonna make you
guys some sales
some of them we talked about last week

ton of stuff i'm planning to add so if
you want to take me up on that offer
uh top link in the description actually
below the giveaway
all right let's get to the top five
niches of the week niche number one
is actually gonna look familiar so i
included this in the top five last week
this uh i'm with karen karen i need to
speak to the manager
karen excuse me 2020 i want to speak to
your manager so
last week i mentioned that the karen i
need to speak to the manager was kind of
like a meme
shirt throughout 2020 i guess the origin
of the meme i learned it um it's not
something like real positive it's kind
of a uh
not one that you know someone was in the
news for the wrong reasons and her name
was karen
and anyways it became a meme that people
started buying on t-shirts
uh i guess karen's feel a little bit
entitled and whatnot anyways people have
spun
it into like not just the the original
t-shirt of karen i need to speak to the
manager but as you can see here like the
i'm with karen is kind of complimentary
so if you want to make
or give a if you want to give a popular
t-shirt uh
couples potential or you know best
friends going trick-or-treating together
or going to a halloween party together
give it like complimentary potential so
that maybe people buy
not just one t-shirt but two two
t-shirts and this could also translate
well
into bundling on platforms where you
have more control like etsy for instance
uh so this niche is still selling well
granted we are getting close to
halloween but before i started recording
i tried to buy one of my own shirts and
it said i could receive it by october
28th which is wednesday so
it looks like we still have a chance to
upload new halloween shirts
and um you know that's what's dominating
the market right now so take advantage
the ruth bader ginsburg stuff started to
like slide out of the top spots
it seemed like the merch team had
removed some of them but also i know
they sold
so many of them that their facilities
were just swamped producing
almost exclusively rbg shirts they were
just selling so crazy
which i think also might have had
something to do with the lack of merch
sales
during that time because i think the
merch team might have been suppressing
our listings in search results
so they could keep up with the capacity
of the requests for the ruth bitter
ginsberg shirts anyways just following
up there
so as you can see the karen i need to
speak to the manager the top selling
shirt this is from merch ninja this
graph they're tracking the bsr history
over time they're giving us keywords and
they're giving us
price history right here you can see
it's holding steady
ever since about october 8th down around
you know
beneath 10 000 bsr basically all right
niche number two
now this one i think i might have
included in the bonus niches last week
if i didn't
then i meant to do it this week but it
turns out this is actually selling
really well this boner donor shirt
and while i didn't understand the origin
of this
you know meme shirt if you will i
actually shared it with my private
facebook group students
when i first saw it i was like this
shirt is selling really well and i don't
get it at all i don't know if it's a
meme
but you guys might want to try selling
it somebody said it was from some like
netflix new movie with adam sandler that
i've been meaning to watch because i
know i saw he's got some new halloween
movie
um but yeah apparently the boner donor
shirt is like
i tried to look it up it looks like
maybe it's his mom or something some
lady in the in the movie
apparently wears funny t-shirts and this
being one of them so
i can actually attest that uh on the
fourth quarter merch challenge that i've
been doing on
my girlfriend marielle's youtube channel
which i'll put a link in the description
if you want to follow along
uh we actually got some sales selling
the karen speak to manager shirts and we
got some sales selling the boner donor
shirts so these are what's selling hot
right now
uh low hanging fruit take advantage you
know
in addition to the stuff that we already
know is selling like the election
political stuff the uh political or
sorry the
social justice stuff has kind of also
fallen out of favor as well
or at least maybe not fallen out of
favor but it's been jumped by some
more halloween themed shirts niche
number three
so this is where i kind of had to like
start stretching like kind of reaching
for
niches to give you guys i wanted to find
stuff that i hadn't recommended before
that i noticed are
selling well so this one is kind of
interesting because
i think this may not be coincidence this
may also be benefiting from halloween
notice that all of these
this is the top row of search results
that i screenshotted
they all say halloween costume so they
must be benefiting from halloween and it
says i'm with the avocado now notice
earlier how i said the karen shirts
somebody uh
had made a shirt that said i'm with
karen well here you go i'm with the
avocado and then guess what
on the same first page of listings
pushed a little bit further down
there were green shirts that said
pretend i'm an avocado now i don't know
if this is meant to be halloween i mean
these are indexed on halloween because
you can see it's in the title it says
halloween costume gift t-shirt
but this is again a very complimentary
set of t-shirts and again you could
translate this into a bundle on
etsy so i don't know of a way you could
automate the fulfillment on etsy but i
know that you could do it manually you
know
it's not that hard honestly if you have
two monitors you can just put your email
over there where etsy sends you the
customer info
main monitor every time you get an order
for a bundle just manually create the
order and you know make some money
and by the way if you're like oh it's
not worth my time hey however much you
feel comfortable charging
charge that and then if you get an order
it's worth your time you know
all right niche number four this one's
kind of funny
so it's just t-rex t-shirts i know this
niche has been around
for a long time however this crept up
into the top 50
and i don't understand why there's three
designs that are basically the exact
same except one is un
listed under trendy design gifs and the
other one's good to go tees with two
and one of the two has 21 uh reviews and
it's listed at 21.99 so
when i see that i'm thinking maybe they
are driving traffic from off of amazon
but
i could be wrong but they're getting a
healthy profit margin their healthy
royalty of probably like six dollars and
and change
closer to seven bucks probably like 650
if i guess selling at 21.99
but yeah bsr 14 000 so i mean it's
working and uh the whole first page
honestly they all had sales they were
all generating sales so this wasn't just
one of these things where
the top design and only that design and
only that seller
was making sales but like the whole
first page is making sales this one's
going to be a little bit tough if you're
not a good graphic designer to create
your own original graphics
because you're gonna have to and by the
way you don't have to copy it as is just
make a funny t-rex shirt talking about
the struggle being real you know because
they have short arms
niche number five all right and this one
there's a backstory that i looked up
because i was like why is this
creeping up into the top you know
selling t-shirts and
typically it's just like one of the
shirts that will and then i have to go
do additional research
and look and see if there's other shirts
selling really well but i wanted to put
this
on your radar because this is
complementary to that show
that i do not watch i think it's called
uh it's called
s-c-h-i-t-t-s shit's creek
is the show name and uh while i don't
watch it i remember that
uh was it last week or the week before
there was that ew david shirt
that people are selling it's just simple
text you comma david ew common david
and selling really well lots of people
made lots of money selling that thing
and this is from the same show
apparently again i had to look it up but
i did some validation and there's
multiple t-shirts with good bsrs
all it says is johnny and moira and
david and alexis
and you know simple text designs i mean
that's the definition of low-hanging
fruit by the way my favorite one's
probably this one right here just
because
it's really big bold text by the way
though i mean i'm a huge fan of the
vintage
uh looking text and then also hey
vintage distressed looking
like the vintage color scheme with
distressed text big and bold
so you take the best of each world like
you have the what if you made a design
similar to this one where it's like you
use the full
uh design space available so made the
text as big as possible without it
bleeding out of the
of the canvas size you use some sort of
a retro color scheme and a distressed
font uh family there you go or you can
distress your own fonts um i do have a
video tutorial on that
so just thinking out loud there of how i
might approach if i was to sell
this niche but i think there's some
potential there and sometimes like
when i first see something and i wait to
tell you guys then i'm like oh crap i
could have just said it because it ended
up
becoming popular so i don't know if this
is one of those candidates
all right looking ahead october 2nd is
caps lock day
october 24th i think i messed that up
october what is it caps lock day
it's not the second it's october 22nd is
caps lock day
october 24th bologna day october 25th
sourest
day i love my sour candies and sour
fruits i used to always drink lemon
water when i was a kid but my mom was
like hey you're going to ruin your teeth
you better cut back uh october 27th
american beer day
are americans known for their beer
probably their light beer
i can't lie i love light beers so i'll
be celebrating
and october 31st halloween
it's your last chance to make some money
off the halloween niches by the way all
right bonus t-shirts
mermaid security now i'm assuming this
is a niche that probably sells
year-round but this was also creeping
into the top niches
and there was multiple like honestly
this may have been a better candidate
for the fifth
top five niches but it also felt like
one of those
that's probably like making good sales
year-round
i think mermaid security might be like a
shirt for parents
trick-or-treating with their kids who
dress like mermaids i was just thinking
out loud there because i did notice like
more mermaid security shirts
trending up than normal so that was my
idea
and also i saw some inmate shirts and i
just this just
reminds me of some of the dumbest
t-shirt
sales i've ever made where back in the
day when you could make i think like a
three dollar royalty selling shirts at
14.99 maybe it wasn't three it's
probably like two dollars and change
um back before merch like knocked down
our royalties a little bit
uh i used to i mean there was just one
year it was probably like 2017 when i
really didn't know what i was doing i
was still learning
but i had sold a bunch of inmate shirts
that looked like this except
way worse all i did was i put a little
like inmate number
in the uh like where your pocket might
go if you had a pocket on your a front
pocket on your shirt
all i did was put like a little number
and i would just keyboard smash to come
up with like eight digits
and i think i uploaded like 10 of those
and some one customer bought
and i listed them in orange with black
text that's what reminded me
anyways one customer ended up buying 20
of them so
made like 50 bucks off of that customer
something like that and i just remember
seeing that and being like man that was
the dumbest easiest t-shirt ever made
and somebody bought 20 of them so that's
pretty cool
you never know when that's gonna happen
all right deleted designs i'm doing a
special edition of deleted designs
instead of just screenshoting
merch ninja i want to show you some
shirts that are
not deleted they are not removed from
amazon
however if you try to upload these you
will most likely
either get rejected or get them removed
so this is like my
halloween 2020 don't do this uh warning
and i probably should have done this
earlier in october by the way there's a
lot of people
saying that they lost their merch
accounts in the last couple weeks and
you know i never know if i'm getting the
full story if i did get the full story
and you lost your account
and you didn't do anything wrong that
sucks but if you were like
trying to upload m m t-shirts and get
creative don't do that you know
and like when i see this shirt it seems
like either somebody got lucky
or maybe there is something related to
their partnered with eminem i don't know
but if you try to upload this shirt you
will most likely get in trouble uh this
one
this one you may be able to get through
but i don't recommend it because it's
my take on this was that this is related
to pac-man
and the ghosts from pac-man so i'm like
while it's a great idea
i wouldn't put this on amazon personally
um the purple crayon again just stay
away
uh you might be able to get it through
but it's it's just one of those things
that like every year i feel like people
get either rejected or they get their
shirts removed
for slipping through the sensor um
sensor detection whatever you want to
call it an algorithm
and then the dr seuss brand i i was like
man people are making a lot of money
ripping off the
thing one thing two shirts but then i
realized it looks to be officially
affiliated with dr seuss
so you've got teacher of all things and
i know there was another one in there
that i saw
so they're just kind of remixing what's
in the the circle
in the thing one thing two designs all
