[Music]
this week on my channel i'm gonna talk
about how easy it is to start an
international print on demand business
with merch by amazon
i'm gonna do this wix video that i've
been hyping up for weeks i finally got
the full
thing recorded it's ready to go that's
dropping this week it's going to be a
beast
and i'm going to do some etsy shop
reviews so make sure you subscribe so

a link to my eight day
print on demand mini course where i
email you the lessons one a day for
eight days
and a link to my print on demand
facebook group take advantage of those
guys
niche number one all right let's get to
these top five niches and before we get
to niche number one i'm going to remind
you that if you didn't catch my
interview with the trademark watchdogs
where we talk about print-on-demand
trademarks
and we go in depth i highly recommend
you watch this because there's still so
much confusion about how the trademarks
work
alright so that will be linked in the
youtube cards right here all right the
real niche number one the reason you're
here
is going to be graduation guys last week
we did all these graduation sub niches
i'm not gonna hit you with five new
graduation sub niches i'm gonna say hey
go sell some graduation shirts because
these are still flying off of the
digital shelves if you will um so
there's no need to bury the lead
these are the best sellers right now
graduation shirts are crushing it
and if you don't know what i mean when i
say find sub niches i'm going to show
you in a second but first just wanted to
show you this shirt right here
is a number one amazon bestseller it has
a current best seller rank of 3751
and man this shirt has made quite a bit
of money now let me show you really
quickly
how to find sub niches when you're
looking for sub niches
there's a couple ways you can go about
it you can use my free
search merch tool which makes it really
easy to filter out non-amazon merch
products
type in the keyword you're looking for
like graduation and then click search
t-shirts you can also check hoodies
sweatshirts long sleeve i need to update
it to account for the other product
types but go ahead and search t-shirts
and then you'll notice though as is
typical
there are quite a few trademarked like
disney brand
peanuts brand etc shirts that pop up
that we need to scroll past we know that
we cannot sell disney stuff and compete
with them
this is also why i like to use things
like the flying research tool because
you can come on over here let me zoom in
you can click best sellers on the left
hand side now what i like to do before i
do a keyword search here
is i like to change marketplace2.com and
then my search term i would type in
graduation all right then you just hit
search
it will filter out the disney products
and the peanuts products and any other
products you know marvel that we can't
sell
and it puts these in order of best
seller
to uh i guess worse seller but i mean
these are all pretty much best sellers
look at the bsrs by the way
3 000 6 000 10 000 12 000. so anyways i
just wanted to show you guys that if
you're interested
check out flying research they are
sponsoring this week's giveaway
so make sure you enter the giveaway and
if you want to check it out there's
obviously a link in the description
niche number two this week is going to
be
father's day and in this case i picked
out an example of cross niching father's
day
with something else because this is
typically how you're going to crack
these big niches it's not going to be by
making a shirt that says world's best
father
you know or world's best farter which is
another popular shirt
that's not how you're going to crack
this niche because obviously there's
years and years of shirts that came
before you with more sales history so my
recommendation is get creative
make a good design and cross niche so
this shirt is just one that i picked to
illustrate this concept it says it's not
a dad bod
it's father figure bear beer lover so
it's also indexing on like
bears and dads and beer and dads
alright so it's just a random example
but obviously it's selling this is one
that i wouldn't expect to have made this
many sales
you can see 24 ratings and typically
like up to five percent of your sales
will get reviewed so let's just multiply
that by 24 times 20
and um you get what uh quite a few sales
it's too early
all right and uh here you can see the
best seller rank trending in the right
direction as we get closer to father's
day guys
now you wanted to attack father's day
probably a couple weeks ago to
have a chance at hitting like a number
one best seller but that doesn't mean
you can't start listing father's day
shirts right now
and make some sales it's just unlikely
you're going to jump to the top of some
primary keywords like major keywords
without like running some ads to say the
least now i just wanted to point out
that if you do a trademark search
for father figure you will notice that
there is a
registered trademark that says father
figure
and is protected on shirts what this
means is you can't just have a shirt
that says
father figure now you also need to
familiarize yourself with how these
algorithms work because some websites
algorithms would see that your
submission contains the phrase father
figure
on a t-shirt and confuse an exact match
with the phrase match it just depends on
how the algorithm is written guys
so you got to kind of familiarize
yourself with the algorithmic
enforcement of trademarks which
is separate than how trademark law
actually works i know it gets confusing
which is why i recommended going and
watching that
interview with the trademark watchdogs
because i can't cover this in depth in
every single video
where i talk about niches all right so
just wanted to show you that also you
can do your research and see that like
you just type it into amazon and you see
oh look this shirt was made available
a couple days ago okay so it would imply
not guarantee but implied that you will
get through with your submissions
that are legally okay like i said
sometimes the algorithm gets confused
all right niche number three and this
one is from
bubble scout it is the only redbubble
niche research and validation tool
and they sponsor every single weekly
giveaway if you want to go and
install the extension for free you'll be
able to see the top 20
daily trending searches on redbubble so
i went ahead to redbubble
i looked at the top 20 trending and what
do you know free palestine is number one
and palestine is number two this also
matched up with what i was seeing in
flying research my you know preferred
amazon merch
niche research tool and these are still
selling really well
all right so it may fade a little bit i
know there was talks of a truce
anyways we're not getting into the world
news on this channel just wanted to show
you that these t-shirts are flying off
the digital shelves the proverbial
digital shelves
you can see on flying research this has
a current bsr of 13
500 the primary keywords driving traffic
our palestine free gaza shirt
here's another example of a shirt
selling extremely well in the niche
and the primary keywords are palestine
free flag
shirt city jerusalem and uh bestseller
rank of 24 000.
niche number four and here this is one
that uh i kind of hand picked because i
remember
last year how well these were selling
now surprisingly like
these weren't really making their way
into the research tools yet
um you're going to see them sprinkled in
but it wasn't like overwhelming where i
was
where it really stood out you know this
is me kind of going back to my memory
from last year
and this niche is juneteenth so again
another high level niche you need to go
find sub niches within it
but these were selling extremely well
last year and you can see here this
row of t-shirts 23 000 bsr 74 000 bsr
187 bsr
100 787k uh not 187 that would be crazy
and 40 000 bsr so they are selling quite
well and i anticipate that
as we approach juneteenth uh it is june
19th
that is so how long are we about a month
away all right um
yeah these are only going to sell better
and better and you can already see look
at the trend line there guys
sometimes you just got to look at the
data and not worry about what anybody
says
you can see by this trend line that
sales velocity is steadily increasing
up into the right implying more sales as
we get closer to the date
and finally niche number five and this
is going to be
an early reminder to get started on july
4th
shirts because they're already selling
pretty well now
a lot of these shirts you don't
necessarily need it to be july 4th to
want to wear
this brand uh leek lique is like
one of if not the top amazon merch brand
their designers are absolutely crazy
i know they have a team of designers
working for them they're all kind of on
the same page so it allows this
um unified front of designs on merch by
amazon
and this one sells like year-round but
it says ben drankin it's got like the
black and white you know president ben
franklin with the
red white and blue on the sunglasses and
the headband holding up a beer or a shot
of beer
um reminds me of doing like a power hour
or something with a shot of beer
and uh here's the sales velocity as
illustrated by flying research you can
see
up and to the right in a steady trend
line implying that it is going to
just increase in sales velocity as we
get closer here's a second example this
is
abraham lincoln same style design it's
got the black and white
picture of the president with the color
on the headband the glasses the american
flag in the background and it says
america
underneath you guys know we like to get
a little rowdy on july 4th and wear our
red white and blue
and celebrate independence day so um
yeah
july 4th guys it's you'd probably want
to get started uploading right about now
if you want to have a chance at cracking
the top of page one you know you really
need to kind of carry some
heavy sales into that day it's kind of
like with amazon fba guys
if you are selling a product that's
related to a specific time of year
you may want to run like a lightning
deal ahead of time so it spikes your
organic rank right before that big
holiday and then obviously keep your
stuff in stock ahead of time too which
is
easier said than done when fba limits
your inventory that you can send in
but i digress anybody that sells fba
watching this you know what i'm talking
about
all right here you go flying research
showing the same thing
you know we're seeing a steady increase
in sales up and to the right
all right looking ahead if you guys want
to sell some t-shirts related to odd
holidays
june 22nd is national onion ring day who
doesn't love onion rings
uh i think popeyes just stopped selling
their onion rings by the way so we gotta
like
we gotta pour some out for popeyes here
grab my water bottle porta fake poured a
little bit out
um june 23 is called let it go day which
invoked in my mind thoughts of like yoga
meditation etc
but then when i was looking for an image
to pair with it
i realized that that song from the
popular disney series
frozen let it go and now that i just
said that all the parents are probably
like got it in their brain because i'm
sure your kids
have watched that movie a million times
uh but that let it go song
made me think like all right i'm not
gonna upload anything that says let it
go just in case because you guys know
how crazy strict disney is
so play it safe june 23rd just let it go
day but you know what i'd suggest
skipping that just in case
june 24th national handshake day june
25th national catfish day
june 26 national canoe day all right
everything's got a day
okay bonus t-shirts i think i only
selected one this week
and i like this one a lot i like the
message it says to be
scientifically literate is to empower
yourself
to know when someone else is full of
sh asterisk t i try not to curse in
these videos
mainly for the youtube algorithm but i
like this a lot and it says neil
degrasse neil degrasse tyson
shirt so anyways guys i wouldn't try to
sell and target neil degrasse tyson as
keywords
um because he is actually in the merch
collab
program which you'd have to submit and
get approval
to use his name now that's a separate um
video for a separate day
but you can probably google merch collab
and see what i'm talking about anyways i
like this quote
being scientifically literate is
probably more important today than ever
well i don't know at least in my
lifetime than ever before so um yeah
all right deleted designs brought to you
by
merch ninja they have a section where
you can find deleted designs i just
realized look at this one behind me guys
oh my gosh who uploaded that to merch by
amazon
it's basically like a naked lady with uh
yeah anyways anybody that watching the
podcast check out the youtube video for
that one
um the one next to it says i heart penis
so you got some weird ones the one below
that says eat [ __ ] it's organic
so so much for not cursing do those
count as curse words i don't know um you
see an upside down nike sign
you see people um trying to get away
with a little bit too much
and paying the price for it also i found
this one and i wanted to recommend not
selling this
on father's day it says the dadalorian
okay clearly and it's got a it's got a
silhouette of the mandalorian
and baby yoda so yes you do not want to
sell anything related to the dadalorian
and anything remotely close to disney
this is a means to an end
for your amazon merch account and that's
not a good thing
all right guys and as we wrap up this
