hey what's up guys welcome to top 5
niches of the week episode
116. I got a couple of fun announcements
before we get started so why don't we
get right into it
the first thing I wanted to share is
that I finally got my 100K subscriber
YouTube play button so thank you so much
guys for making that possible you can
see a picture of it right here it is
awesome and one thing I learned is that
you have to actually go and request it
otherwise they won't send you one so I
was happy to finally get mine
the next thing I wanted to plug is that
me and Juna from detour shirts are doing
a little video series uh not really I
don't know series it's like a three-part
series part one and part two are gonna
Premiere tomorrow so make sure you
subscribe to both our channels uh we are
we well we already did we got together
uh we found a winning Niche and then
made a winning design and then part
three is gonna be
us
following up in about a month on if our
approach to Niche research and creating
a design ultimately yielded us some
sales so definitely it's gonna be a good
one I'm really uh excited to see what
happens with this so make sure tomorrow
you guys are uh are you know able to
watch our videos we're going to Premiere
them on both our channels
all right we have the weekly giveaway so
congrats to the winners from last week I
will email you as soon as I uh post this
video and we have a new giveaway that
you can enter using the link at the top
of the description it's completely free
also down there in the description I've
got an eight day print on demand mini
course all I need is your email address
I'll send you one lesson a day for eight
days and I've got a great print on
demand Facebook group if you're not a
member already I'd love to have you here
is my sales update for the last week I
did 456 total sales including the
international sales and if you guys
follow me on Instagram
um You probably saw like my sales were
doing really well because I post a daily
sales update every single morning and I
was probably averaging like 200 uh ins
in profits in royalties from just the US
market uh a day recently so my merch
sales have been really nice and I
honestly like last week created a bunch
of batches of new designs using
Automation and I really really like uh
these batches of designs that I made
super simple uh not something I'm gonna
publicly disclose but in my print on
demand course you will see this approach
that I'm using uh it's very again I love
the simplistic stuff that occupies a lot
of upload slots that I know will sell
because it's just again I don't try to
make it a secret I look to the best
sellers to see what design Styles people
favor uh and then you know if it's a
design style that I can feed into the
automation tools I use hey I'm all about
that so um the ones I made last week
were definitely good and I can't wait to
get them all uploaded I'm currently
using merch Titan's upload uploader
right now while I record this and
pushing some designs to a bunch of
platforms by the way just a quick plug I
do Post daily sales updates to my
Instagram so you can find a link to that
in the description if you want to follow
me on Instagram uh to check my sales out
every day all right Niche number one
this week I'm gonna show you how I went
about finding Niche number one just so
you get a little bit of my process
so it's a beautiful day for learning
this shirt right here is the number two
shirt right now in terms of best sellers
that are not
um intellectual property protected right
so they're not big Brands number two
bestseller right here 13 000 BSR and
looks to be a relatively new shirt
because it only has one review right now
so good on them actually you can see
date uploaded two months ago on May 31st
so they were planning ahead they were
real early obviously beautiful day for
learning
probably related to teachers probably
related to students we know back to
school is right around the corner so
this is definitely a shirt we can look
to as hey you know this is maybe an
indicator of what is to come
so I used um pretty merch Pro Plus
analyzer that you can see right here
behind me screenshotted the product
analyzer and down there under keyword
analysis it says school teacher so I go
to uh the research tab on pretty merch
Pro Plus I type in school teacher and I
search
and check out these bsrs that it yielded
all right really impressive twenty nine
thousand Thirty One Thousand forty one
thousand forty six thousand forty six
thousand forty seven thousand uh also
what do you notice not a lot of reviews
on these products even though really low
bsrs so this can also be an indicator
that maybe the Amazon algorithm is site
and I've I've theorized about this is
cycling in
newer submissions instead of just having
the same old shirts every single year be
the shirts that everybody sees I think
Amazon knows that they don't want their
catalog looking stagnant so they may do
something like this and cycle in new um
new listings and give them a chance to
be some of the best sellers
so Niche number one is going to be I
guess on the keywords school teacher uh
take away from this what you would like
to I know it's very broad we know back
to school is coming but
to me this is opportunity you know what
I mean and there's a lot of different
ways to spin this uh but I think if
there's one thing it's like hey maybe
Market it to teachers right like even
though a second a shirt that says second
grade Vibes third grade Vibes first
grade Vibes could be sold to both
students and teachers but
look at the bsrs here we've been kind of
starved for big trends recently and uh
this one I think obviously has some big
potential uh the best seller of the
group says Y'all Gonna Learn Today
and um you know without saying too much
about like back to school designs I
think you know again just to plug the
little series I'm doing with Juna at
detour shirts
we are going to do some Niche research
and some designing tomorrow and there
may or may not be a back to school spin
on the niche selection so I want you
guys to you know to hopefully look
forward to seeing those videos because
it did come out really well
all right Niche number two
and again I'm just going off the best
sellers right now because we are starved
for Trends and I've actually been seeing
bsrs increasing in this Niche this you
know Niche or sub Niche that we talked
about probably three weeks ago at this
point either two or three weeks ago uh
bsrs have been improving okay and it is
the donkey pox
and again just so you guys know like
this is in top five niches of the week
as a function of how well it's selling I
don't give a crap about politics
honestly like I'm not left right I'm up
down I think left right's a little bit
uh
overblown because they tend to flip-flop
anyways if you give it a long enough
time Horizon right they'll just switch
um anyway it's not the point I was gonna
say keep your account safe right we know
print on demand long-term business model
if you go start selling things like this
clearly they could like Amazon merch
algorithm could update one day and all
of these could disappear so I'm not
necessarily telling you to sell these
I'm just saying hey I'm trying to come
up with the top five niches of the week
and instead of it just being random
Evergreens where the best sellers
soaking up all the sales but it's not
really a trend this for sure is a trend
and you can even see here from pretty
merch Pro Plus it's showing us with the
little green arrow and the um it's
showing the bsrs are improving still and
this is two or three weeks later after
we first saw it so donkey pox is a
best-selling Trend in a time of year
where we are very uh starved for Trends
okay
be careful if you sell that one though
you know I don't know if I necessarily
trust it I I wouldn't put my account at
risk selling that
Niche number three is
math shirts so we have back to school
coming uh I typed in math and I just
screenshotted the first row of results
there's a lot of ways to do math shirts
um you know so you know use your
imagination you don't even really need
to look at a research tool honestly if
you're gonna sell math shirts you can
probably just go to like Google and type
in funny math memes or mathematics memes
and just not like steal images or
anything but like make your own designs
related to funny math memes I know
there's plenty of them a lot of you know
the Pi Day shirts think of the pie Day
shirts how well they sell and how funny
a lot of those shirts end up being so
math uh shirts is Niche number three
and if you really have all day to design
you can come up with a shirt like this
which is just absolutely crazy but
whoever designed this shirt honestly has
been just killing it they uploaded this
shirt in 2019 and this is like a
bestseller you know throughout the year
it seems like ever since 2019 so they've
been rewarded big time for the time they
put in to create this crazy looking
shirt
all right Niche number four
and this is Pre-K okay so I was
scrolling through a lot of the
best-selling shirts we're definitely
seeing the school related shirts
creeping up and I noticed Pre-K dude you
see the first design Pre-K dude first of
all I love that design I think it's
awesome I'm not exactly sure how they
were able to execute that well like I
thought maybe you could find a chalky
looking font but how'd they get that
effect on the the glasses you know so I
think that's a really awesome design
whoever made that well done and uh 74
reviews so that shirt's been around for
a while
but when I search Pre-K look at the bsrs
okay so Pre-K I mean I don't have any
kids right it's been a while since I was
in pre-kindergarten I don't even know if
I went to pre-kindergarten I think I
just called it daycare
anyways
um so I wouldn't think Pre-K
but with research tools it's like oh
there's this thing called Pre-K and
people are buying shirts for it there
you go I mean need we say more there's
obviously ways to cross Niche and sub
Niche so I want to throw this out there
Pre-K pre-kindergarten selling quite
well and keywords matter so if you type
in pre-kindergarten I would also
recommend
Pre-K because look at look behind me
um we're seeing Pre-K the
um keywords that are are helping these
shirts rank specifically
all right Niche number five and by the
way if you have pretty much Pro Plus
guys which I always Link in the
description
you can also then scroll down I guess I
cropped it out of this screenshot here
but underneath the like bullets and
description they'll have a keyword
analysis this is good for what keywords
to Target in your title and your bullets
but also if you run ads also a great
place to look for your ads
Niche number five and this is uh Vibes I
just typed in Vibes right so this isn't
just third grade Vibes fourth grade
Vibes second grade Vibes it's not just
that
I just typed in Vibes and it seems like
you know this is a keyword that is
trending on Amazon merch you can go to
Etsy you're gonna see a bunch of cool
designs related to the word Vibes you
can apply Vibes to a lot of things right
you know how I always talk about how I
mean tier 200 000. I sell a lot of
scaled out designs well I can literally
make a template that just says word
where the word is I upload a list of
words and it can be anything it doesn't
have to be third grade or fourth grade
it can literally just say the word
I don't know peanut butter Vibes and
someone who loves peanut butter I mean
honestly I love peanut butter that's
probably why I popped in my head
um maybe I have like a craving I gotta
go you can eat some peanut butter after
this but like I can just put a list of
like foods that people like like I can
Google common foods or if you saw my AI
video where I can use like open AI to
generate a list of you know top 100
Foods in America and then I just copy
paste it after the AI just generates it
for me put it in a CSV list run it
through automate pod which by the way is
sponsoring this week's giveaway so if
you guys haven't entered the giveaway
yet now is a good time you can get a
free license to automate pod Chrome
extension takes two minutes to set up it
can automate your designs for you on
canva and photopia upload a list of 100
popular foods insert variable for food
underneath it put the word Vibes easy
right I'm trying to demystify this stuff
I'm not like some super genius with
print on demand literally I like just do
what I'm telling you guys I do right and
because I'm selling on the world's
largest eCommerce Marketplace on Amazon
I tend to get a lot of sales because
it's in front of hundreds of millions of
people literally okay
all right seller trends
here we go from flying research these
are shirts that have seen a significant
jump in BSR recently uh don't let me
drink milk it hurts my tummy I wouldn't
be selling any shirts like that by the
way because I'm pretty sure that like
that style of design might be
trademarked by the people that came up
with the Dare so I don't know just be
careful with that stuff guys
looking ahead shirts or niches related
to um dates related to holidays
August 31st National Trail Mix day
September 3rd International bacon day
September 3rd also National tailgating
day who doesn't love tailgating National
third world beard day and September 5th
is cheese pizza day all right so you got
some interesting days to work with there
unfortunately you know I made plans to
go to actually I might go to a concert
next in August because I'm going to be
in Denver
um like the third week of August for
like a Fantasy Football Draft so we
might end up going to Red Rocks and
seeing a concert but I haven't gotten to
any concerts this year and gotten a
chance to tailgate but I don't know we
had we had a bunch planned like country
music concerts and then they just kind
of came and passed and we never were
able to make it so I don't know there's
always next year fortunately all right
bonus design this is from mediocrity if
you guys caught my video where I had
um I forget her name but I had somebody
that worked at mediocrity and uh while
this is I'm not trying to like get into
the pentagrams and kind of the satanic
aspect of this design I just laughed
when I saw this design I had to make it
the bonus design this week they if
you're on their email list they send out
a couple designs a week from featured
artists and if you catch my video on
mediocrity they told you how to become a
featured artist not a bad way of making
some extra money from print on demand
but I just thought this like design was
funny in the sense that it says hail
bacon and they have the bacon pentagram
I know I'm not trying to get into the
you know I swear I'm not I'm not into
that stuff at all whatsoever but I loved
I just thought this design was hilarious
alright so that's the bonus design for
this week all right deleted designs from
merch ninja here you go got some uh
Harry Potter infringing stuff got man
bear pig which is from South Park you
got Chicago Bears of course NFL so a lot
of people just infringing getting their
shirts removed and probably accounts
banned so don't do that all right as we
