what's up guys welcome to top 5 niches
of the week episode
144. you know what day it is it is Super
Bowl Sunday so I'm already hyped if you
stay till the end I'm going to share
with you a Super Bowl parlay that I'm
gonna be betting on in case you want to
bet with me we did it last year and I
can't remember if we won anything but uh
this year I got a good feeling anyways
let's get to these top five niches
all right let's kick it off with my
Amazon merch sales update in the last
seven days I made 392 sales 336 came in
the US market and that made me 1 335 in
royalties with about an average of four
dollars a day in ad spend uh the other
like 60 or so sales came from
International markets
if you want to follow me on Instagram
the link is in the description I post
daily sales updates
all right Niche number one guys prepare
yourself for this one all right you were
thinking I was gonna say oh sell
Valentine's Day shirts well guess what I
came up with a pretty uh out there Niche
a little bit out of the box but
certainly on people's minds if you I
don't actually watch mainstream news but
I'm gonna Venture a guest that this is
probably being talked about today
oh actually I just hyped it up I forgot
I put remove designs first then I'm
going to show you Niche number one guys
look at remove designs this week what
have I been talking about for the last
month that eventually they're going to
go after people selling these Fringe
Philadelphia you know Philadelphia
Eagles uh football related products and
what do you see here of course they went
after them a lot of accounts were
probably closed recently hopefully it's
nobody that subscribes and watches my
videos because you knew better
all right Niche number one
how about that the Spy balloon all right
now here's the thing first and foremost
I don't know what keywords Amazon
merch's algorithm which is dynamic is
allowing and is sending to manual review
and is rejecting okay I have a video
Linked In the description called is this
Niche safe and it does a pretty good job
of explaining my process for attempting
to validate keywords before hitting
publish okay because the reality is you
don't really know until you try
but we know the Spy balloon uh has been
or balloons or what I don't know I have
trouble following the narratives but
like they've been in the news lately and
you can actually see look at the bsrs
guys 300 500 000 the ones behind me
aren't as impressive with like you know
over a million
um also like I'm not even like getting
into the you know geopolitical side of
things I'm not getting into the
political side I'm just talking about
selling T-shirts and trying to talk
about a niche that popped up kind of out
of nowhere like so it's Level Playing
Field right and then all of a sudden the
news is talking about it and the next
thing you know you could have you know a
big Niche we don't actually know right
we're trying to predict the future one
thing we can do is say hey if they're
talking about it there's a decent chance
that somebody out there might be looking
to buy a funny t-shirt related to uh
whatever the incident is in this case
the incident with uh spy balloon uh
attributed to being from a certain
country right again though keep your
account safe do your research watch the
video If you haven't seen it is this
Niche safe I would recommend that
and some additional keywords here from
podley by the way um kind of shows you
what keywords you may want to hone in on
again doesn't mean they're safe though
but they do actually pull together you
know base keywords these could be good
if you're doing like Etsy as well
because you can grab them and use them
as tags long tail keywords
um Etc
Niche number two and it is another uh
news cycle related Niche that uh again I
don't know for sure if it's okay I'm
assuming it should be theoretically but
you know no one's looking after your
account but you
the UFOs all right the the flying
objects or the uaps or whatever by the
way that might be another keyword that
you cycle in there because then they
stop calling them UFOs start calling
them like uaps aerial phenomenon um
either way guys I mean if it's in the
news
there's people probably thinking about
it and when you think about it you may
take action go to Amazon buy a t-shirt
about it right if you're not thinking
about it well you're not going to
randomly buy a t-shirt right so it's
like step one is you know the box is
checked are they thinking about it yes
why are they thinking about it because
the people that write the television
like scripts and narratives like they
decide to talk about it right it's not
like this is a new phenomenon but for
some reason the television's all over it
recently so you know capitalize on it um
in the form of t-shirt sales right and
any other way you can think about it
all right Niche number three oops before
we get to Niche number three guys check
out my free print on demand mini course
Linked In the description by the way I'm
relaunching it for 2023 it's twice as
good and everybody was loving the first
one it's going Live this week so if
you're already on the list you will get
it and if you're not on my list check it
out it's free the link is in the
description and check out my print on
demand Facebook group also linked down
there
Niche number three guys don't forget
Mardi Gras is February 21st anybody who
doesn't have a Mardi Gras shirt yet
between now and probably the next like
four days you're gonna have Peak Mardi
Gras sales all right and I mean there's
already a lot of products up there I
know but the sales are going to be there
so if you are trying to decide if you
should be like let's say you're in tier
10 you have 10 design slots should you
be in Mardi Gras that's going to be in
like Peak demand or should you be uh
getting ready for St Patrick's Day which
is not even close to Peak Demand right
where do you have a higher likelihood of
making a sale
yeah in Mardi Gras even though there's a
lot of competition we already know
um but frame it that way right frame it
as where are people like what what are
people typing into Amazon search bar
right now because if you're in tier 10
guess what you make a Mardi Gras design
it doesn't sell Mardi Gras passes you
delete it you put something else up
right
Niche number four this week
uh these I mean the best time to be
doing this was probably last week and I
apologize for not recommending it but
shirts for the Casual football fan right
A lot of them are related to commercials
so the primary keyword I used here was
commercials and you can see there's a
bunch of funny uh shirts I'm just here
for commercials and beer I'm just here
for commercials in the food I'm just
here for food commercials and the
halftime show by the way I'm not trying
to tell you halftime show is safe I
don't know right you got to look out for
your own account
um but yeah there's a lot of a lot of
these funny shirts and the bsrs are
killing it
BSR is twenty five thousand thirty seven
thousand forty five thousand forty six
thousand fifty two thousand like they're
killing it all right so this is a good
Niche to be in right now
Niche number five to um wrap it up March
14th is not that far away we got about a
month until Pi Day and my favorite part
about the Pi Day print on demand Niche
guys is that these designs are really
fun like there's a lot of really funny
ones uh my favorite one is down there in
the bottom left corner the 3.14 equals
pi sign and then the reverse 3.14 and it
spells pi and then it equals a piece of
pie coincidence I think not I love that
um also funny story but like my private
Community where we do you know weekly
meetings uh
someone actually showed me how to make
that first design you see the very first
one with the BSR of 142 000 with all the
colorful symbols it was actually a
collaborative effort um we were doing
our office hour our Friday hangout and
they told me the font which it wasn't
exact match font but it was basically
like a good font to get close to what
you see there and then told me how to do
basically like create like use the pen
tool create the path and uh essentially
recreate that that design so I thought
that was really cool I mean I I'm
learning from them as much as they're
learning from me hopefully uh so Niche
number five Pi Day
all right emerging trends
this is from podley these are uh designs
that have seen a significant jump in BSR
and I guess I did a bad job of filtering
out protected Brands forgive me guys uh
there's a lot of Marvel here and that is
my fault I think I was messing with the
filters because I was looking at deleted
designs before I took the screenshot so
that's my bad but a lot of the big ones
are Marvel Disney Spider-Man this beard
is taken for Valentine's Day and then
you've got Kansas City designs that are
probably not safe let's be real
all right looking ahead Trends coming
about a month out March 12th is Girl
Scouts day March 12th is also the Oscars
of course you don't have the rights to
sell anything related to the Oscars but
hey it's a award night about movies so
what type of shirts are safe that you
could probably sell general interest
shirts related to people who like to
watch movies will probably see a spike
around March 12th right March 13th ear
muff day March 13th also smart and sexy
day shout out to all the smart and sexy
people uh March 15th Ides of March
and don't forget March 14th Pi Day
all right the archive brought to you by
podley we looked back 11 months ago at
what was trending and wow we got a lot
of St Patrick's Day
also some Ukraine um those are the ones
and then of course behind me the I'm not
old I'm classic shirt that is a
bestseller year round and nobody can
touch that one
all right guys I'm gonna give you my
Super Bowl bet in just a second but just
wanted to remind you I have a full print
on demand course Linked In the
description I've re-recorded almost
everything for 2023 and it is going Live
this week the new version all right if
you're on my email list you'll hear from
me but it's going live along with my
free mini course all right so I've been
at work like a madman behind the scenes
I hope you guys check that out if you're
interested alright guys it's the big
game the Super Bowl tonight between the
Chiefs and the Eagles if you would like
to partake in this bet with me uh feel
free otherwise feel free to cheer for me
but I like jeric McKinnon over 23 and a
half receiving yards can Darius Tony
over 27 and a half receiving yards and
Philadelphia Eagles to win by three and
a half points at least all right you can
have some fun there um the odds are plus
708 so if you bet a hundred dollars I
think you'd win 708 I guess that's how
the math Works um if you guys aren't on
a sports book I'll put a link to FanDuel
in the description this isn't meant to
promote FanDuel but I'm just saying uh I
like this bet it's a little bit of fun
