what's up guys welcome back to top five
niches of the week episode 94. and this
is a special episode because it's a ryan
is on another vacation edition i'm in
florida right now so i recorded this a
couple days in advance but don't worry
the niches are all going to be relevant
they're all going to be good and we're
going to get out ahead of some major uh
holiday related niches
in case you want to try to be that guy
that actually ranks somewhere near the
top of page one this is when you need to
have your plan of action in place you
need to get out there a little bit early
so that's the theme of this episode
let's get started
first the weekly print on demand
giveaway winners and you probably
guessed it we're gonna have to extend
this one so they'll be announced next
week but if you didn't have time to
enter last week's giveaway make sure you
do that it is free the link is at the
top of the description or go to
reinhardt.com forward slash giveaway
also in the description i've got a free
eight day print on demand mini course
that'll walk you through starting your
etsy shop and i've got a great print on
demand facebook group if you're not a
member i'd love to have you
all right niche number one and this is
the niche that you should probably be
heavily invested in if you are an amazon
merch seller in a lower tier trying to
scale up your account as quickly as
possible you want to be in this niche
and that niche comes on march 14th all
right you may be thinking wait wait wait
isn't there another one in between now
and then what about mardi gras well
mardi gras is a little bit too close
right now for it to make sense to launch
any new products in because amazon still
has to print them and ship them so i
think the next big one is probably pi
day and you can probably guess what's
coming after that as well but you know
if you're trying to scale up these low
tier accounts it is in my personal
opinion that you want to just kind of
follow the crowd
no it's not going to be easy to have the
organic rank one however
it's going to be easy to make sales if
you know think about how big the pie is
wow and look at that we're talking about
the size of the pie while looking at the
pi day niche right this must be this
must be meant to be or something like
that uh the pie is quite big when you
chase these big trends that are you know
on everybody's mind hey we know this is
coming every year these are big so carve
out you know point zero zero zero one
percent of that pie for yourself make
one two three four sales i mean that's
huge if you're in tier ten tier twenty
five so this is what i'd recommend being
in between now and you know
march 14 minus let's say three or four
days uh or maybe even like five or six
days if we're being honest but
all right so pi day guys by the way
let's just stop for a second and look at
the designs
in
these pi day niches like these designs
are really good or not even good i just
really appreciate them like i just love
looking at them like the spiral
representing the infinite you know the
numbers never stop we even have that the
one in the number three spot there with
like the serious number spiral i wonder
how long it took them to make this
design actually probably not that long i
guess once they set it up maybe no no
actually i have no clue i mean i would
just be guessing but i think that design
is kick-ass um the one in the bottom
left uh with the the 3.14 equals pi
and then the reverse
one three
is pi
is that why they call it pi day because
the reverse four one did i just learn
this coincidence i think not guys we
just
this might be like the next big
conspiracy theory rabbit hole that we're
all gonna have to go down that 3.14
flipped
is
basically like calculator pi um anyways
i love that design i think this is
awesome i might have to buy that shirt
for myself honestly i love that one
um so here we go we got some keywords
here from pretty merch pro plus as well
you'll never guess but the top two
keywords are p i for pi and day and the
next ones are three and one four
all right niche number two
and actually you know what i might have
thrown thrown you off a little bit there
with the order i'm cause i'm pretty sure
i put st patrick's day on here but maybe
i didn't what did i put on here for the
top five niches i assumed i did maybe i
forgot to uh anyways niche number two is
easter 2022 all right don't sleep on
easter guys it is okay to start
preparing for easter right now that
means
getting your designs together more than
anything well i mean before you do
designs figure out your sub niches
within easter
so figure out the sub niches get your
designs get your keywords and when i say
keywords it's not just in your listing
it is
for ads i know most people don't want to
talk about ads probably but if you
really want to try to crack the top of
page one
getting those ads in building up the
momentum the sales momentum heading into
the holiday is when you really want to
get cracking so you don't want to just
be like oh yeah easter's in a week let
me start uploading now you want to be
out you know a month and a half two
months ahead of time so easter guys uh
by the way be careful about easter
because every year i feel like we go
through the same
song and dance when it comes to peeps
do not mess around with the peeps guys
like every year we see the same cycle of
like
people in the facebook groups and
whatnot uh saying that you know hey i
got rejected on peeps and like
even for whatever reason you always see
a bunch of peeps designs that get
through and are live and then i don't
fault you for thinking like okay there's
all these peeps style designs that are
live so i it should be safe right
uh i would not mess around with it i for
sure would never mention the word peep
in a listing but i would also stay away
from the peeps designs in general as a
rule of thumb all right but easter lots
of potential there's a long runway
leading up to it for us to talk about
those designs so um for now i just want
to put it on your radar don't sleep on
easter of course you got the dabbing
bunny rabbit with an easter egg as one
of the top sellers already uh current
bsr not that impressive 81 000 but at
the same time under 100 000 so they're
just making sales probably year round on
this one and i know you're like who buys
easter shirts year-round but people do
it's amazon people buy halloween shirts
in january you know what i mean i don't
get it but
niche number three
what is this easter again well let's put
a spin on easter alright don't just
think easter bunny rabbits easter eggs
what about you know the religious
holiday
there's plenty of demand for the
religious t-shirts as well guys so don't
forget you know easter has more
relevance than just you know the
consumer side um you know not that we
don't love our easter candy and the you
know easter egg hunts and all that good
stuff but like you know a lot of people
celebrate um
you know religious side jesus christ
right so that is definitely should be on
your radar they move a ton of shirts
every year and it probably goes a little
bit like under the radar as well so
wanted to give that a shout out
and here you go as far as
the keywords to target so true story
story jesus true story jesus uh easter
et cetera so i don't know i didn't
actually do that much niche research
into the sub niches for instance this
one that says true story i don't know if
there's something behind that but
obviously we get the theme overall it's
the kind of the flip side of the easter
holiday beyond just the bunny
all right niche number four and this one
might have caught you by surprise you
got about a two month heads up on earth
day 2022 do not sleep on earth day they
move a ton of t-shirts also between
march and april it's like back-to-back
months of
green t-shirt holidays so get those
green shirts out um loving the green
shirts for earth day by the way like i
think a lot of people still design for
the black t-shirts for earth day which
could represent some opportunity there
to actually like optimize your designs
and not select the color black and like
optimize them for a green shirt so earth
day should be on the radar guys big
opportunity and it's kind of like how pi
day gets a little overlooked even though
it moves a ton of uh product like earth
day is very similar yet it's kind of
like overshadowed by easter the way that
pi day can be overshadowed by st
patrick's day so definitely um get some
earth day shirts out there get get your
plan ready at a minimum all right
all right niche number five and this one
i was excited to share because what do
you get when you cross
the ultimate
taco tuesday
from 2 22 22 that fell on a tuesday and
of course tuesday's taco tuesday what do
you get when you cross that with
the next kind of holiday that was on our
minds which is st patrick's day and the
uh the alcohol side the alcohol
consumption side of saint patrick's day
which by the way check out this design
that is too cool like i know it's like
oh yeah he's puking whatever but
somebody took a leprechaun and he's
throwing up
lucky charms i mean that's kind of i
don't know i like that design i think
it's it's just well executed from a
design perspective what do you get when
you cross taco tuesday with that
you guessed it you get cinco de mayo
this is the ultimate heads up for a
holiday that you know is not necessarily
a t-shirt holiday where it's related to
a bunch of consumerism but
cinco de mayo guys it's something that
should be on everybody's radar maybe not
this early this is pretty early for
cinco de mayo but you know what i was
looking at the holiday t-shirt calendar
and this is one that i always like to uh
to list a bunch of t-shirts on like
one of my first t-shirts that i had that
was a bestseller in my merch account
which i haven't seen sell in forever so
i'll give it up to you guys all it said
was
and like i always say guys i sell so
many text only designs i don't know if
you all believe me when i say that but i
swear to god text only text only it can
work uh it just says cerveza por favor
like cerveza on line one and then
underneath in smaller text por favor
that's all it says survey support for
four and i used to you know make regular
evergreen sales but then also lock in
some sales around the uh you know the
big holiday the run up to uh may 5th so
just wanted to shout out the cerveza por
favor and then of course when i by by
the way guys you want insight into how
my brain works i was like all right
survey support for selling how about
tequila por favor
and how about whiskey poor fever
right like i i just threw them up there
and then i mean did i make as many sales
as the cerveza por favor no but did i
make some sales yes and that's called
doubling down on what's working when i
sit there and i have a blank slate and i
don't know what to upload and i can
upload literally anything it's like well
hey take a hint off of what's working
over here and see if you can lock in
some additional sales so that's my
recommendation
and here you go from pretty much pro
you've got the design dabbing mexican
poncho poncho by the way there's a free
keyword that you wouldn't have gotten
without the pretty merch pro plus
poncho i probably wouldn't have thought
to include in my listing but it appears
it appears that it's ranked pretty well
on that keyword and that's driving some
additional visibility and sales
all right seller trends if you want to
sell shirts related to seemingly random
holidays
here we go we have some leprechaun stuff
we have some black history month we have
some gaming shirts some pie day shirts
uh of course there's always some teacher
niche shirts because you don't need a
reason to sell teachers t-shirts
apparently they're just like constantly
either buying shirts or being gifted
shirts hopefully being gifted shirts
guys take care of your teachers all
right looking ahead if you want to sell
shirts related to seemingly random
holidays we have march 27th national joe
day
okay shout out to joe
march 28th weed appreciation day and not
that kind of weed check the picture it's
uh dandelions
which by the way i heard they have a
bunch of medicinal properties i don't
know if that's true or not but i did
hear it all right i know i've heard of
dandelion tea so maybe it's true
and now that i said that if it is true
youtube's gonna probably censor me
because they're so ridiculous about
anything related to um natural health
but now that i said natural health too
i'm for sure this video is gonna not
gonna do well march 29th smoke and
mirrors day i also like that picture
because it's got the mirror upside down
um let me hide myself so i can show you
these pictures march 30th national
doctor's day and then check out the one
at the bottom right corner bunsen burner
day
like that's like throwback to what like
middle school i think is when we use the
bunsen burner
i don't know good vibes good vibes
middle school vibes i liked science
class back in the day
all right bonus t-shirt
designs that i liked while i was doing
this research the prep for the video
i love this mardi gras tree the bead
tree because like i've shared the story
those you guys that subscribe shout out
to you you've heard me share it before
but the last time i was in new orleans i
was actually pretty young i don't know
why my parents took me um when me and my
sister were pretty young but like we
went the week after mardi gras and it
looked like
i don't know man it was just a mess like
they had not cleaned at all and there
were there were trees that legitimately
looked like this just if you were
anywhere near the parade path like the
beads were just everywhere power lines
buildings trees
ground
in the sewer i'm sure
like uh it was just a mess so this this
has like good you know positive uh
memories associated with it even though
probably awful nightmarish memories for
whoever was responsible for cleaning it
up
and that's also now reminding me of the
leprechaun throwing up like you got a
bunch of like real-life uh people
leprechauns throwing up in the streets
during the mardi gras
uh and then this one too i had to do a
double bonus this shirt says i'm not
short i'm leprechaun size and i don't
know i just thought that was funny like
for all the t-shirts i look at
constantly like i don't know if i'd ever
seen this one i also don't know if it's
um politically correct or whatever but i
i laughed at it when i saw it so hey
it's a bonus shirt today
all right deleted designs brought to you
by merch ninja
and i'm not seeing really a lot of uh
well there's the axolotl of course every
every week i feel like got some reagan
bush got the al gore
um got an alabama reference which i mean
maybe they thought that was alabama the
college so they removed it a couple
trump ones couple biden ones um and a
random thanks there's a thanksgiving one
