what's up guys welcome to top 5 niches
of the week episode
139 today we've got five print on demand
niches for you to Target in the near
future they're going to help increase
your print-on-demand sales it is as
simple as that sometimes of course your
designs also need to be good enough and
you need to communicate to the
algorithms what it is that you're
selling as you begin to make sales
they'll start to trust you more they'll
show you're listening to more people and
you'll make more sales as a function of
increased visibility I think you guys
are pretty familiar with how this works
by now so let's get right to it
[Music]
now you guys know I typically like to
begin these episodes by sharing my
Amazon merch 7 Day sales update however
I'm currently on a nice vacation in the
Caribbean at the British Virgin Islands
so I had to pre-record this episode I
hope you'll forgive me if I have
internet access and I feel like sharing
a sales update you can find that on my
Instagram otherwise I guess I'll just
share you know cool pictures of whatever
we're doing each day on my Instagram
story so check that out I always link to
it in the description of course you can
follow me there and typically I do Post
daily sales updates
all right Niche number one is going to
be forward-looking we're looking roughly
a month out
at Black History Month all right now
there's always a massive volume of
t-shirts sold for Black History Month
there is a very wide range of niches so
why not start out Niche number one by
just targeting the broad phrase Black
History Month now you guys know on
Amazon
even if you type similar keywords that
could even be synonyms the algorithm
tends to treat them like separate
queries it's like Amazon's search
algorithm is almost intentionally a
little bit
dumb you know what I mean in that you
know you can type synonyms and it
pretends like it doesn't understand that
these are related and
you know you can have like a different
Amazon's Choice shirt by tweaking a
single keyword you know what I mean
that's basically the same part of a very
similar phrase
um so it could be like Black History
Month you have one shirt that's Amazon's
Choice and then you put Black History
Month shirt and a different shirt gets
Amazon's Choice it's weird but um that
that you you've probably seen that if
you've spent time researching Amazon
long enough
anyways as you can see here there's
quite a few different sub niches within
Black History Month and we're actually
going to look at different sub niches
after Niche number one but Niche number
one is just take a step back look at the
entire niche as a whole very broad
perspective
and it's not just the niches by the way
take a look at the different design
approaches as well I always like to just
kind of step back and look at the
popular design Styles because this is
customers voting with their dollars when
they make a sale and it gets pushed up
in the rankings
it's not just for the niche it's for the
design Styles as well
all right and from podley here we also
get the keywords when you take the
advanced view you can see the focused
keywords and my favorite part is the
long tail keywords which you never know
you can just copy paste those into a
manual ad campaign and sprinkle some low
bids and see if you can get some
targeted visibility on long tail
keywords without spending too much money
I love the the chance even if it doesn't
work it's like hey you started with the
low bid so you know what I mean it's
targeted it's in the right Niche so I
love that
Niche number two is going to be dope
black as just seed keywords you can even
go further and further and further
niching down within this sub niche of
black history month but I did dope black
I searched that and you can see here
there's uh quite a few different
t-shirts in this Niche unapologetically
dope
unapologetically dope black teacher dope
black family dope black dad dope black
son dope black coach uh dope black kid I
mean there's so many different ways to
spin it obviously somebody created a
nice looking template
I don't know what font that is
um I'm guessing maybe it's not just the
font maybe they went in and like
customized it themselves with their
color scheme uh but they're clearly
making quite a few sales dope black
dental hygienist behind me I mean they
went as far as to even fill in the
professions guys so ah man there's just
so many ways you can
um go with this high level sub Niche all
right
Niche number three is going to be
actually first I gotta plug my free
print on demand mini course you can find
that Linked In the description give me
your email address I'll send you one
less than a day for eight days to help
you get started with your print on
demand business and I've got a great
print on demand Facebook group that I
hope you'll join if you're not already a
member
so Niche number three
I went for the sub Niche melanated okay
so you can see there's a bunch of
designs lightly melanated hello black
educated motivated elevated melanated
melanated and HBCU educated you know
what I'm saying there's a bunch of
different ways it's the melanin for me
uh melanated educated bougie there's
just so many all right there's so many
ways to spin uh this Niche and again
it's not guessing when you're looking at
designs that have already sold this is
uh you know these are ranked because
customers came in they liked it not just
the niche but the design so take a note
of the design as well I always like to
remind you guys that you know
it's it's nice to study what works when
you jump into these niches
um especially the ones that come around
seasonally right because if it's a
seasonal thing you know there's chances
that maybe you can sell these outside of
that season but a lot of seasonal niches
like it is that season or that specific
date of the year and they have a
specific design style so if you're
looking or at this Niche for the first
time you again you just want to take a
step back typically it's good advice not
to think that you know what's best and
just kind of study what customers uh
prefer because again on Amazon we know
that that's represented both in the best
seller rank the BSR and just in general
in the order of the products on and it's
not it's not perfect it's not like
they're sequentially ordered every
single time uh from best selling to
lowest selling but I mean there is some
variability but it often is
basically that at the same time
all right Niche number four is going to
be black queen all right and there's
some really unique and cool designs in
this one specifically this would
probably be like for me
um looking just just from the outside in
on and how I go about making designs
probably like the toughest one for me if
I was gonna design
um in the you know black history month
niche this would be really tough because
you need to have some really good
graphics that being said I know that um
vexels has some you know shout out
vexels they're not in every single Niche
but they do have a bunch of niches where
they've got a ton of ready to use
designs meaning you can use them as is
and so really there's no excuse right
because you can just take the design
that a professional made you can upload
it without changing it or you know you
can do what I would typically recommend
and make some edits to it add some text
for instance like the the design in the
number two spot right there
with the kind of multi-colored
um dripping paint look like they have
something similar and you know you can
go about adding text above below
wherever it makes sense you could even
do like a silhouette of text in the afro
and then I'll cut you know cut it out to
make a silhouette uh that's also an
option so and even like behind me here
you know what I mean somebody's
basically doing that making a word cloud
where the hair would be so you know just
think outside the box
all right Niche number five is going to
be I am the storm and this is one of
those niches that
really makes sales year round but we
noticed an uptick during uh Black
History Month you know we've been doing
these top five niches of the week now
for over two years so we've we're
starting to see some repetition and
there's nothing wrong with that like
repetition is saying hey this Niche has
staying power okay it's not just selling
because it's Black History Month we may
see an uptick but you know a lot of this
one I think I feel like we've seen it um
selling you know kind of throughout the
year if you pay attention like I do kind
of regularly to the trending niches
okay and what's cool is with podley here
at the top the line chart you can
actually Zoom that out so what you're
seeing there is the 30-day chart and
every time you see kind of a drop off in
BSR that means it's going down in BSR
that means that it had a sale or or
multiple sales
if you were to click the button that
says all time it'll zoom out even
further and you'll kind of see um you
know with with seasonal shirts seasonal
products what you typically see is like
a dip at one point in the year typically
around the time where it's trending
indicating High sales and then it just
kind of climbs back up to a high BSR
when it's not in season and like I was
saying this Niche specifically we've
seen it sell year round
with an uptick in February all right
looking ahead if you want to look at
some kind of random print-on-demand
Trends related to specific dates at
least one month out
February 8th is national Boy Scout Day
February 9th national Pizza day yum uh
February 10th World pulses day I didn't
know what that was until I saw the
picture
February 11th National inventors day and
February 12th is Super Bowl Sunday all
right now Super Bowl Sunday if you're
going to sell anything related to that
you want to be extremely extremely
extremely extremely extremely careful be
as Broad and generic as possible meaning
like even I wouldn't submit anything
with the word football in it when we're
like plus or minus two weeks from Super
Bowl Sunday that being said we're about
a month out now so if you want to submit
a design that had the word football in
it you're probably fine if you do it
around Super Bowl it's probably going to
manual review and anybody who tries to
get cute if you break a rule you're very
likely to get terminated so
and nobody pays me to say this I'm just
looking out you know what I mean you
don't want to push your luck with
something that is so obvious you know
what I mean as the Super Bowl
all right the archive print-on-demand
Trends from 11 months ago I chose 11
months ago so I'm saying
let's look back one year plus one month
that way we can basically get into these
niches if we see a clear obvious trend
but we can get in early you know what I
mean give ourselves a chance to rank
well when it comes around and guess what
thanks to podley's Archive we see that
11 months ago
well you guessed it Valentine's Day was
absolutely killing it um also you know
the I Am the storm uh design here Black
History Month uh Godzilla so maybe a
Godzilla movie came out and a fishing
pole inside of a vertical American flag
because hey why not have the fishing
shirts selling really well year round
all right but obviously a lot of
Valentine's Day designs doing quite well
