hey guys thanks for joining me for a new
video hopefully you will forgive me
for releasing this top five niches video
a day late but don't worry i've got a
bunch of new niches for you guys to
target
with your print on demand design so what
do you say we dive right into it
i'm gonna go jump on my computer and we
can get started
thanks again for joining me guys i hope
you enjoyed your weekend i was out on
the boat yesterday with my girlfriend
and with onyx the little microchihuahua
he was not as pleased to be out on the
open water as we were
he was scared for his life so if you're
not subscribed to my youtube channel
and you want to consider doing so
normally i'll give you a preview of the
videos i'm planning on dropping
this week i haven't really figured out
what videos i want to release so by the
way if you have ideas let me know in the
comments i always love when you guys
give me ideas and suggestions
that's where a lot of my best videos
come from so thank you
but i did do a test order of every
single amazon merch product
in both male and female sizes so i'm
planning a huge review
dropped like 400 bucks on this one so
hopefully i'll have time to get that
done
uh this week also you see that little
pop socket design with the t-rex
so i've already sold a bunch of those
and i just uploaded it as a test order i
didn't even
do a keyword optimization so that was
pretty interesting
all right the giveaway we had two
winners from last week i'm gonna email
you as soon as i release this video
but uh we had one person you can
increase your chances of winning guys by
doing the little tasks there like
following me on twitter and whatnot but
um
looks like one person had a 0.18 chance
the other person took advantage of the
increased odds
and was rewarded or will be rewarded
this week
uh right after i finish this video so
i'm gonna do another giveaway if you
want to stay till the end i'll give you
the link
and real quick before we start before we
jump into the top five niches let me
introduce myself
i'm ryan hogue i've sold over 1.8
million dollars on amazon to date
if you want to follow the links in the
description i've got a free print on
demand mini course delivered to your
inbox
one lesson a day over eight days i have
a print on demand facebook community i'd
love to have you there
i publish income reports on the first
day of each month if you want to
subscribe to my channel you can follow
my progress you can also go back in time
see how long it took me to scale up to
100 profit a month a thousand dollars
profit a month
10 000 profit a month you can see
exactly how long it took me also
i wrote a full print on demand course
that i'm constantly maintaining and
adding to it's over
10 modules 70 lectures right now if you
want to check that out i've got a link
in the description
all right let's dive into the top five
niches that i know you guys have been
waiting for by the way again sorry that
i was a day late
i was um you know just kind of away from
my computer enjoying the weekend this
week
niche number one this is the um i don't
know what to call it kind of like the
news cycle
shirts you know what's in the news cycle
it's a lot of the politically correct
stuff it's a lot of
politics i'm not trying to underscore
the importance of any of it but for the
sake of t-shirt selling
since these have been a mainstay for you
know 10 weeks plus at this point
i'm just going to lump them together and
and say this is niche number one and i'm
sure there's constantly
new sub niche potential popping up
within these
niches but when i look at my software
merch ninja that i usually use
to suggest the top niches i'm seeing the
high end and i usually look for
newcomers into the high end however
these um
the ones on this slide for instance like
they should all look familiar these are
pretty much cemented there at the high
end
niche number two so this is where we'll
get into the new stuff
all right so this is the let's eat kids
niche
uh for whatever reason because i know
this isn't a seasonal trend
these shirts are selling really well
right now that
one shirt all the way to the left is a
bsr of under 5000 or basically 5 000
and yeah i mean what i really like about
this niche
is that there's just lots of potential
to scale this out to make it your own
you don't need to
copy paste the t-rex design you've got a
shark here you've got a zombie here
zombie fits right in with halloween
here's some more ideas this one right
here actually looks like it may be from
all sunsets you see this one above my
head
so uh it would not surprise me if they
use all sunsets because
that looks pretty much like the pop
socket design i did for my test order
that i already told you guys sold a
bunch and i didn't do any keyword
optimization so
what i'm really saying is hey all
sunsets if you haven't checked that out
they sponsor the weekly giveaways
definitely link in the description it's
like
20 bucks 27 bucks for an annual license
and
t-rex's apparently sell really well but
also check this out
someone else took it made it their own
let's eat kitty let's eat comma kitty so
again
it's the same niche but they're scaling
it out to zombies
sharks cats you know the t-rex one is
the best seller but there's lots of ways
to make this your own
all right niche number three barbecue
timer
rare medium well i had to put this i was
gonna put this one in the
bonus bonus shirts section because i
just thought it was hilarious but then i
did a little bit more research
and let me see did i put yeah i did i
put a little bit of bsr history here
and as you can see about august 25th
uh the best seller the best-selling one
here
this one right here jumped down from
like
400 000 bsr down to can we see the exact
bsr it looks like oh yeah there it is
top left corner it's under 30 000 bsr
and this whole niche is selling really
well right now so
um and this one i mean you might have a
little bit more of a difficulty making
it your own
you can clearly scale that out rare
medium
well um you can add more i don't know
beers or
there's there's lots of ways you could
probably tweak the design or tweak the
words and make it your own
but this is definitely as we as summer
winds down um people are still out there
enjoying their end of summer barbecues
especially over
the long weekend i'm sure a lot of
people are out there barbecuing
hopefully you guys got to enjoy the
weather
uh so yeah there's definitely potential
here for some t-shirts
niche number four and this one be very
careful with
uh this one i did a little bit more
research because it's like like i said i
look at the software i see
which shirts are jumping into the top 50
top 100
uh the one that came on my radar was
this one right here
so i did a little bit more additional
research noticed that this entire niche
is selling well i just grabbed
the first row from amazon in this
screenshot but the whole page one is
selling well selling consistently
so i don't know again like when you do
this sort of a design
that is popular because of its
similarity to the well-known
video game pac-man you you clearly don't
want to say pac-man
and uh just because it's a play on the
pac-man game
it's not infringing on pac-man it's just
again it's like a tweak right it's a
pumpkin eating ghosts because it's a
halloween shirt
uh so people obviously whoever thought
of this first is very clever
um but just yet with your keywords you
know be smart with your keywords that's
all i'm gonna say
and the most common question i get on
facebook recently is like
hey ryan is this trademarked guys don't
ask me if something's trademarked
go to the search merch tool or if you're
selling on a different platform
go to that platform type the keyword in
how many times does it pop up in search
results
that's your answer you know all right
let's see the bsr here trending down
from 140 000 on the 8th of august
all the way down to about what is that
36 000
right now and you can bet that that this
is one of those guys this is one of
those shirts that
i can almost guarantee you in like two
weeks that bsr is gonna be cut in half
and then two weeks later
as we get closer and closer to october
and halloween it's gonna keep falling so
this is a good time to get in
to that niche niche number five
all right now this one again another
asterisk all right
the nfl season starts this week so on
thursday and i mentioned this last week
but i'm a huge nfl fan fantasy football
fan
etc you cannot infringe on any nfl
intellectual property however a kansas
city football
shirt kansas city football so a
location in the united states and the
word
football which is a sport that people
like that is okay
all right so i'm not saying hey make
some fringe
you know like if you remember back when
they won the super bowl last year
and by the way this could be expanded to
not just be kansas city
um i'm just throwing it out there that
this niche if you can target it
intelligently without infringing
i don't mean infringe but use good
keywords i mean like
just keeping in mind the fact that
kansas city
is a place that really likes their
football because they won the super bowl
last year
understanding that people who watch the
kansas city football team
will probably be interested in buying a
kansas city football
shirt also look at the colors on this
one those of you guys that don't watch
football
wouldn't know that that's the nfl team's
colors
so what i'm saying is like you can very
tactfully without
any wrongdoing sell t-shirts to fans of
the kansas city
football team without doing anything
wrong all right
now if you offer this shirt in black
chances are amazon merch is going to
select a primary thumbnail
with the color black which is what you
see in that first row
so you may want to consider maybe not
selecting the color black and maybe just
doing a
one color upload so that you know you
get a good primary thumbnail color i'm
just saying
also i mean scaling this out beyond just
kansas city would be smart because i
mean there's lots of places
in america that like football that have
football teams
do not infringe please i'm gonna say
that one last time don't infringe that
is a terrible strategy
don't try to get cute with your keywords
just cater
to the fact that lots of people are
gonna have football on their mind
this week in america so you can be smart
about it and you can make some money for
sure
um but also there's a lot of people who
aren't smart about it
the week after kansas city won super
bowl last year i went to merch ninja and
i looked at the removed designs
and it was pretty much dominated with
people who tried to get too
cute and tried to infringe and make
money off of things they didn't have the
rights to sell so don't be that guy
i've said don't be that guy before and
someone said in the comments what does
that mean
what it means is don't be the person
that thinks you're outsmarting the
algorithm and that you're gonna get away
with something that you shouldn't be
trying to get away with
all right looking ahead september 12th
chocolate milkshake day that sounds good
september 13th positive thinking day i
am a strong believer in positive
thinking and manifesting your future i
don't think that
the secret is true where it's like if i
want it i'll get it because i thought
about it i just think that you know
whatever's in your mind
um you know what you're thinking of and
what you're not thinking of i think can
strongly influence
the outcome of your life you know your
actions et cetera
september 16 guacamole day who doesn't
love guacamole
september 19th national gymnastics day
and october 31st it's never too early to
be thinking about halloween to be
thinking about
clever cross niching halloween designs
and niches
all right bonus shirt time i got some
good ones uh this one was actually
a really uh top selling shirt it says
there is no cloud it's just someone
else's computer
and you know besides the fact that you
know i i do dabble in it and i
um have been to some of these like cloud
data centers and whatnot and toured them
and i understand how this stuff works
like for some reason this shirt was
selling really really well someone's
probably driving external traffic to it
i thought about including this niche in
the top five niches but upon
further inspection this shirt is selling
extremely well the rest of the niche is
not so i wouldn't suggest attacking this
as a niche i just thought it was
interesting thought it was funny
uh this one's hilarious it says smoke
meat every day
and i am assuming that and this is
selling really well but i don't think
the whole niche is necessarily
uh but this one i'm assuming is a play
on is an intentional play on words of a
popular
uh what was it dr dre snoop dogg and
nate dog
by the way rest in peace nate dog
popular rap song from back in the day
uh where they said smoke weed every day
however this one's saying smoke meat
every day
and of course i just couldn't not
include the defund the media shirt
because i
i think that uh the media is not doing
anybody any favors so
that shirt had to show up in my uh my
favorite or my bonus designs where i can
just put my favorite shirts that aren't
necessarily selling that well
even though that niche is selling really
well but we already talked about it a
couple weeks ago
all right deleted designs here we go
let's see
2020 total crap would not recommend
wondering if that shirt
actually no it was already selling it
had a bsr i don't know why it was
removed
uh birds aren't real conspiracy maybe
that's why
uh the trump hair on the punisher
probably because similarity to the
punisher logo
um you would think q anon maybe but i
know that they're still selling q anon
shirts so that's not it
don't be a salty [ __ ] with the salt
logo it's funny as my
my really good friend's brother was
wearing that on a tank top the other day
um so yeah i don't really know exactly
what's going on cheap ass halloween
costume by the way i'm wondering if that
one got trademarked since we know those
sell really well
and as promised guys we've got another
giveaway this week i'm going to be
