niches of the week episode
118. if you're a print-on-demand seller
i've got five big trending
print-on-demand niches for you to be
selling in right now to hopefully make
some sales as soon as possible so it's
also a good time to kind of expand the
scope of what you are uploading what
you're preparing for we are going to be
in q4 before we know it i know time has
just been flying lately we're flying
right through 2022 uh but i love just
preparing for the fourth quarter so now
is a good time if you're
restricted in how many uploads you have
depending on what marketplace you're
selling on uh you may want to just chase
the trends if you have a lot of upload
slots like maybe a higher tier in amazon
merch now's a great time to also just
prepare for um the fourth quarter it
could be fourth quarter trends it could
be evergreens it could be gift giving
themed products because you know
everybody's giving gifts in the fourth
quarter uh but now's a good time to be
thinking about that all right let's get
to these niches

10k followers that would be much
appreciated the link is in the
description
all right let's get to these top five
niches niche number one is gonna look
familiar so we won't spend too long on
it
but it's the donkey pox uh disease
destroying america niche um this niche
has kind of just been around hanging out
um selling really well still obviously
for some time now so it's probably best
to maybe
pivot like maybe stay in the same niche
idea but maybe cross niche it was
something else or pivot something that's
similar like obviously i would say this
is more or less a like
anti-democratic niche democratic party
niche uh so maybe find another clever
way to like
sell to the people that would buy the
donkey pox shirt since yes i mean it's
been about a month now it's been a
little bit over a month even so you may
want to kind of move on to a different
one but in the same like sell to the
same audience that being said um the
review counts on these shirts are really
low relative to the bsrs i mean
obviously they're soaking up quite a bit
of sales as indicated by the bsrs and
also just look at how pretty merch pro
plus
they give us the little green or the red
arrows here that i'm kind of pointing to
with the green screen point uh and you
can see that like
th the recent trend change
as indicated by these green versus red
uh numbers
um you know of the top 12 here it looks
like nine of the 12
are seeing improvements in their bsr
which to me indicates that this niche as
a whole
is
seeing like increased
interest increased sales so we can't
just look past it just because it was on
top five niches of the week last week
and the week before um when you're
seeing like the trend change and they're
improving as a whole it's something that
needs to be on our radar as t-shirt
sellers
um and then also if you're wondering
like why this is doing so well i heard
somebody say somewhere that maybe biden
has like the lowest approval rating
going into midterms of all time now i'm
not that big into politics i don't
really know if it's true i mean i
googled it but obviously i know better
than to trust everything i see in google
search results hopefully everybody does
at this point
but here we go it looks like he has a
38.6 percent and relative to the other
four presidents charted here um that is
the lowest going in the midterm so again
i don't actually care i'm just letting
you know from a t-shirt sales
perspective
you're probably going to sell more
shirts with the anti-biden stuff than
the pro-biden stuff but i mean could be
wrong there as well but as indicated
here
if you trust those numbers it kind of
makes sense
all right let's go to niche number two
niche number two somehow someway
the pluto niche and the pluto shirts
they keep popping back up right now as
of recording this
the pluto never forget shirt uh and i
say the as in like the number one
bestseller with
3400 reviews is back in that number one
spot so whoever made that shirt years
ago is caking they are making bank
they're also selling it for 19.99 so
they're making five dollars per sale
they are
able to probably retire early off of
just what the the proceeds from that one
shirt and you know what props to them if
it's you that sold that shirt by the way
and you want to shoot me an email or
something and just take credit for it um
i love you know hearing your stories if
you wanted to jump on the channel for an
interview that would also be great uh
anyways you can see here the pluto niche
as a whole
uh doing okay you know it jumps from 8
800 bsr to like 94 000 to 160 000 to 160
000 to 185 to 400 000 uh and then the
bottom row here is like 500k and below
so it's not exactly a top trend but it's
one of these trends that
is an evergreen that is consistently
making sales
these are the types of niches that i
like to be in personally um the fact
that there's one shirt that keeps
popping up and kind of putting it out
there on every t-shirt seller's radar
because we see the you know best sellers
and then what do we see in the number
one spot
every it's like every other month
that shirt will spend at least a week at
the organic rank one spot and then a
bunch of t-shirts sellers probably jump
into the pluto niche but maybe jump in
make it a solar system niche make it an
outer space niche um have some fun with
it you know i'm sure there's funny ways
to approach it for instance this one
behind me i like this one it says we
don't talk about pluto you know what i
mean it's got a picture of the planet um
we don't i don't care what they say
pluto is still a planet like there's a
lot of funny ways to uh approach this
one instead of just the pluto never
forget 1930 through 2006.
also i think i want what i wanted to
mention too before i forget again pretty
much pro plus is showing us the recent
bsr changes and of the top 12
10 of the top 12 have green bsr changes
meaning this could be a
trend that is on the rise it's hard to
say definitively right it's much easier
to say that in retrospect but when
you're trying to be early in projecting
that something is trending well you kind
of you know we only have so many tools
at our disposal but i would say
recommend i would recommend like look at
pretty much pro plus look at the um and
by the way i think pretty much pro plus
is still on sale for their um recent
like i don't know if it's like a
relaunch or what exactly but um they had
like a i think like a 40 something
percent off it might have even been as
high as no that was vex vexil was 40 off
pretty much pro plus was like 57 off i
think i'll put a link in the description
check that out i do really like them as
a research tool but as you can see here
that's what i wanted to point out that
the recent bsr changes 10 of the top 12
are seeing improvements
and that is what i like to see when i'm
going to enter a trending niche
all right niche number three
and this is class of 2035. all right
last year we were talking class of 2034
the year before that we were talking
class of 2033.
this year anybody who's paying attention
everybody anybody who has a calendar
where you see the top t-shirt niches and
you know next year next year it's going
to be you know 2036. people who got out
ahead of it uh they're doing quite well
of course the bsr you know trending text
is actually red almost across the board
here the one behind me if i duck my head
is green
that being said look at the bsrs
themselves all right we may see that
this trend could be fading i mean it's
not like these are significant um bsr
changes they're all still looking pretty
attractive in terms of twenty thousand
twenty four thousand bsr thirty one
thousand bsr forty two thousand bsr
forty three thousand bsr like these
shirts are making multiple sales a day
this is what you know this is what we're
after here that being said too uh if you
have the upload slots to spare
it never hurts to be early you could
consider doing a class of 2036 shirt
because check out the highest bsr of all
the class of 2035s behind me
40 reviews when you see 40 reviews which
is about four times as many as the rest
of them
it's like okay that person was probably
ready for this trend and probably got
out there got established early and dare
i say they maybe even set up a couple
ads
and it takes like two seconds to set up
an admin like maybe throw in an auto
campaign if you want to but you don't
even need to do that like
with a shirt like this
this is easy this is straightforward
what keywords do you want to advertise
on for the class of 2035 niche
yeah the primary keywords are class of
2035 whoever said that good job um
not that there aren't other valuable
keywords but like the primary ones that
are going to drive you the most sales
which means you would want to spend the
most in terms of ad spend to rank on
are class of 2035 and if you charge
19.99 for the shirt that means you can
spend up to five dollars 23 cents
per sale
to break even you know what i mean and
every time you break even ryan what's
the point of breaking even well because
those conversions
help you improve your organic rank on
these high value keywords so that is the
whole point
all right and by the way um one of the
best sellers here uh class of 2035 we
noticed that like all of these ones here
behind me on the screenshot i took are
all black shirts this one is uh trending
up in the right direction with a big bsr
change we showed the other ones were
having their bsrs go the opposite
direction this one has an improvement of
51 000
in their recent bsr change up to a
current bsr of 150 000 and they have a
white t-shirt so while everybody else is
doing black this person pivoted you know
they zig while everybody else is being
zagging they're being contrarian and
they did a white t-shirt black
foreground so it never hurts to be a
little bit outside the box all right
niche number four
and this is you know we got football
season starting you know pre-seasons
here fantasy football
high school football
and lineman okay now this is not the
first year where we've been talking
about specifically this position group
uh the offensive even defensive lineman
but i think this is more offensive
linemen here uh
hey offensive lineman need t-shirts too
you're probably gonna sell a lot of like
2xl 3xl shirts to the offensive linemen
because you know they tend to be big
boys uh but this niche for whatever
reason their sub niche let's say sub
niche of the football niche
tends to do pretty well i mean i also
sell shirt i mean i love football guys
you know i love football i love fantasy
football specifically but i love nfl
football i guess that's where it stems
from uh just as much right
you can sell shirts to every position
group what's cool about the offensive
linemen group though is that you know
you might end up getting like five sales
at a time because you may get one for
you know the all the tackles the guards
the center
you made they may all get like a
matching t-shirt or something like that
so this is i like this niche because
there is upside potential and you may
make a sale but it may be like a five
shirt sale at a time but also you know i
just love football in general so shout
out to uh to the offensive lineman here
bsrs include twenty six thousand hundred
twenty thousand hundred ninety thousand
uh 300k 300k 300k
also lots of sub niche potential like
check out the text quarterback security
school is important but football is more
important that's ranking on offensive
linemen by the way like that even though
it doesn't say offensive lineman in the
design it's still ranked on the keywords
uh next one linemen because brick wall
isn't an official position linemen
serving pancakes daily if you if you
pancake block a defender you put them on
their back
uh my heart is on the line and it's the
o-line lineman because quarterbacks need
heroes too i mean there's so many ways
to spin this guys so that that'd be a
fun niche to enter
all right niche number five is
cottage core i noticed there were some
cottage core designs doing really well
now this is an evergreen i don't know
that this is necessarily a trend but i
love the artwork when it comes to
cottage core uh it's just i mean i'm not
this is outside my realm of necessarily
like expertise but i just love a lot of
the design styles here
the frogs the mushrooms the the
different phases of the moon uh it's
just awesome and then you got like a
kawaii here cottage core kawaii style
kind of cross niche
these are doing really well according to
the bsrs
seven thousand fifty seven thousand
seventy two thousand two hundred fifteen
thousand uh a lot of green
bsr changes indicating like this niche
as a whole is trending upwards so i just
wanted to put it out there also if
you're wondering how do i
compete with these amazing cottage core
designs well it just so happens that
vexels
has a ton of and i say a ton i'm talking
a ton all right i've uploaded a bunch of
these vexels cottage core designs myself
to various platforms they've got a lot
of really good ones guys and it just so
happens that vexels is currently 43 off
i don't know what the theme of this
flash sale is but they emailed me they
said hey ryan let people know that we
are offering 43 or up to 43 off right
now depending on what you end up signing
up for so i will put a link to that in
the description the sale ends monday it
was supposed to end friday they said
that they extended it through the
weekend so um monday you know if you
guys want to sign up go ahead and do
that i use vexels i get 200 downloads a
month i think the plan is called the
merch plan
i've been using it for a while and uh
yeah i mean this is way outside my
ability to design but fortunately they
have a team of professional designers so
we just let them do the hard work and
then we profit off of it basically
what's not to love um all right so here
we go cottage core is niche number five
let's look at some seller trends these
are
trends uh trending designs potentially
future trending niches that have seen a
significant jump in bsr
we've got some teaching ones you all
gonna learn today got vintage august
1962 so that would make them 60 years
old okay so remember when we see these
like birthday related um
born in specific year related designs it
tends to be you know the every decade
designs that do best so
62 72 82 92 because we're in 2022
malibu first grade donkey pox ready to
crush preschool math
so a lot of a lot of school related
stuff i would say looking ahead if you
want to sell
in niches that are related to specific
dates uh here are a couple that are a
month out or more september 14th
international crab fest day that sounds
delicious hopefully it is about eating
crabs not just like playing with them
because man who doesn't love to eat some
crabs september 15th make a hat day
september 16th mayflower day september
16th again mexican independence day and
september 16th one last time working
parents day all right so a lot of big
holidays on september 16th
uh bonus design that i liked while i was
doing my research
this isn't even really a design this is
just text only but it says i know html
and then underneath it has like bracket
how to meet ladies bracket
so shout out to the other web developers
and anybody that writes html i just
thought this shirt was hilarious and how
simple is it right
it's just text right but they did vary
the font size they varied the font
family so i do think it's also like you
got to give a shout out got to give
credit where it's due
that they also executed this from a
design perspective pretty well
considering that it was just text only
all right deleted designs brought to you
by merch ninja um we see some big like
lego things we see a lot of like some
road blocks it looks like uh the friends
logo rip-off silence of the lambs
rip-off metroid rip-off
yeah just a lot of ripping off of
intellectual property this is the type
of thing that will get your account
banned you know people are always
theorizing oh no i got a rejection am i
gonna get banned well it depends on what
the rejection was for was it for ripping
off like some big brand's intellectual
property because yeah you're gonna be in
trouble if you do that
it looks like a big sweep
that happened recently was related to
roblox
