hey what's up guys welcome to top five
niches of the week episode 88 and i've
got another good episode it feels like
as far as niches go we're returning to
some state of normalcy there was a
period where it felt like after
christmas uh it was a struggle to come
up with five good recommendations
each week but last week was great this
week is going to be really good as well
especially niche number five so make
sure you stay for that one let's get
started
[Music]
first let me announce the two winners of
the weekly print on demand giveaway if
that looks like your email address
you'll be hearing from me shortly with
your prizes congratulations and of
course we've got a new giveaway starting
today you can use the link at the top of
the description to enter for free also
down there in the description i've got
an 8 day print on demand mini course you
can take advantage of for free
and i've got a great print on demand
facebook group if you'd like to join i'd
love to have you
all right let's get to these niches
niche number one and this is the niche
that if you're in tier 10 and you're
thinking i don't know what to do what
should i upload
this would be
my personal recommendation at least as
of recording this things can move
quickly you know there could be a brand
new niche that pops up overnight uh that
would be better than this but based on
my research
you're going to want to be in the 100
days of school niche if you are in tier
10 i think you just need to follow the
trends follow where the most customers
are
and based on my research this seems like
it is pretty much a guarantee this is
where the most customers are
well actually i mean there was one shirt
that was absolutely crushing it ahead of
this one
and i'm going to recommend that niche a
little bit later but the 100 days of
school niche i mentioned it briefly last
week and since last week's episode it
has basically taken off and it's now
selling better than the uh the tuesday
niche
the the 222 tuesday niche uh so this
says uh well here's what i wanted to
show there's a lot of ways to attack
this niche and i didn't try to
illustrate all of them in this video
but there really is i mean the hundred
days of school guys uh there's like the
football angle you know what i mean if
you can sell a football shirt sell a
soccer shirt sell basketball sell all
the other volleyball all the other great
sports that everybody plays um the first
one says hip hip hooray so it's kind of
they put a kindergarten spin on it uh
the third shirt over here is more of
just a generic for all the the kids make
sure you enable the youth size obviously
also just point out too the generic one
in the number three spot has the lowest
bsr actually no the one behind me does
uh 27 000 bsr versus 30 000 bsr which
basically is relatively the same
but it looks like the more generic ones
have higher upside so for instance if
you're going to run ads you'd want to
make it more generic and i would expect
or be very specific with your targeting
if you're going to do like 100 days of
school kindergarten make sure it
includes the word kindergarten in your
ads you know so you don't have to bid
against the people that are doing the
generic shirts
uh i just wanted to show you guys that
you can go to pinterest
and i googled 100 days of school just to
get some inspiration and whatnot and see
what's going on in the niche and
pinterest was the top link so why don't
you go to pinterest and if you need
inspiration for cross niches and sub
niches check out what's going on on
pinterest what's cool is they lay out
all these images i mean pinterest boards
to me really are kind of like doing a
google image search
but anyways you can just scroll and
scroll and scroll and just do the
infinite scroll and get as much
inspiration as you need
this shirt is one of the best sellers
here
and it has you know those different
pattern rainbows i don't know what it is
about like the some of those specific
patterns just sell so well especially
that leopard print
uh bsr 11000 and yeah you can see here
that the primary keywords at the bottom
don't forget to include the word smarter
okay because at least in this one in
this i don't know if you want to call it
a sub niche because i don't think all
the 100 days of school shirts have to
say the word smarter
but this is if not the best seller one
of the best sellers and it has the word
smarter in it so it's 100 days smarter
all right niche number two
and this is sorry ladies sorry girls my
mommy is my valentine so we all know
valentine's day is coming up
there's lots of i wouldn't just do
generic valentine's day shirts obviously
so find a nice way of attacking it
either cross niching or sub-niching uh
this one i don't know if it's a
sub-niche or a cross niche it's kind of
like hey you know it's not is it really
like someone's gonna buy this shirt for
themselves no who's gonna buy this shirt
guys a mom is gonna buy this for their
kid right so make sure the youth
checkbox is enabled make sure you know
it's something that a mom would like
and you know it's obviously subjective
but use your imagination and uh yeah
that's what this that's what's going on
in this niche so it's a nice way of
getting some valentine's day sales
strategically uh you can see here bsr's
150 150 125 000 behind me 193 000. and i
like the one behind me too they put some
suspenders on there you know think of
like a little kid you know the the fake
suspenders on the design that's kind of
cute so you know anything you can do to
think outside the box
and here you can see one of the best
sellers it's got a t-rex of course it
does because you know young kids they
love the t-rex shirts i don't know what
it is
but they sell
extremely well round and it has a 31 000
bsr
all right niche number three
and this is another valentine's day
shirt we're not going to do you know a
whole valentine's day episode but
this is pizza is my valentine all right
and this is selling well enough that i
think it warranted being recommended all
right bsrs uh that first one
is nine hundred thousand uh but the
second one thirty seven thousand third
two hundred thousand fourth behind me
ninety two 000 bsr and it just says
pizza is my valentine i mean why not
attack valentine's day from a funny
angle i think when i did a video a
couple days ago about
selling print on demand jewelry um one
of the examples i looked at was a funny
you know funny valentine's day right
like show some love to the single people
or even the people who aren't single but
still want to make valentine's day
parody shirts instead of just doing the
like kind of cheesy you know expected
valentine's day approach
i also wanted to do something very
quickly and point out that when you
search pizza is my valentine in the
search merch tool
amazon's putting a nickelodeon shirt
first that says i'm only here for the
pizza
it's just interesting because you know
that the algorithm
knows
that the other shirts actually say
pizzas my valentines and
by the bsrs are buying those shirts more
so
why did the nickelodeon shirt get
priority and no it wasn't an ad
so that's just something worth thinking
about because yeah like
when if those shirts are getting
priority over ours it's gonna you know
have an effect on our sales
and i'm not again i have no insider
information it's just interesting that
this happened because like the algorithm
should know that when someone searches
for that term they want to see the
shirts that actually say that
as opposed to a random big brand shirt
that is indexed on the word pizza right
so just wanted to share that with you
guys uh and here from uh flying research
37 000 bsr uh if not the best seller one
of them in this niche pizza is my
valentine i love the design uh the
heart-shaped pizza of course got the
arrow going through it great use of
contrast and consistency in their color
selection i love the way that shirt
looks well done
all right niche number four
and this is actually like the best
selling t-shirt right now however
the gap between the number one
bestseller and like the number two best
seller was pretty wide you can see the
number one bestseller but well first the
shirt is to-do list
your mom and then your mom is crossed
out now we've seen this amongst the
bestsellers for a while now
and the fact that it's selling as well
as it is is making me wonder if people
are buying it as like a valentine's day
shirt now i i don't own one of these
shirts so i'm not 100 sure i don't
really know why it's so popular but
that one listing at the top there
and actually i can guess why it's at the
top because it has a price point of
13.99 and the other two shirts here i
mean i know my chairs blocking it i'll
get out of the way for a second but the
other two are 18.99 price point all
right so
the number one best seller though
2800 bsr that's 2800 bsr selling
incredibly well i also wanted to point
out that there is at least one shirt
that says to-do list your dad so
someone's thinking outside the box there
hey if to-do list your mom is selling
let's do something similar to-do list
your dad sure why not has a 250 000 bsr
uh and again i don't know if it's like
valentine's day is why people are buying
it or if there's something else going on
here but when a shirt
has a 2 800 bsr and it's crushing every
other shirt i think it deserves its way
into the top five niches if there are
other shirts indexed on those words
selling well which there are so
but it is very top-heavy
so here you can see again this is the
best seller here and it looks like from
this dip that i'm pointing to behind me
i love it when i get the the the
backwards green screen point correct
because it's very hard to do it's like
backwards uh january 10th it saw a
dramatic rise in sales from
that was six days ago
from roughly 150 000 bsr all the way to
2800 bsr i don't know what changed from
six days ago to today but that is a
crazy spike in sales
all right niche number five and this is
the one i mentioned up front that you're
going to want to hang around for because
it is
a nice way of getting into a really big
opportunity niche as far as sales go and
i love that it's kind of cross niching
two things that are popular all right
and this niche is popping my way through
100 days of school
now i don't have kids but uh i do know
that it is very popular amongst kids
young kids children to have these little
pop bags or pop plastic pop things okay
um i have seen them on the streets of so
random right because i don't have kids
so it's like why would why would i even
know what these are but when me and
marielle went to las vegas last year
for a weekend we like walked past people
selling these on the streets and they
were charging like 40 bucks for them
40 bucks for these little pieces of
plastic with the poppers and i was like
how many of these a day do you sell and
i'm not kidding
they said that they sell like
50 plus i don't remember if they said 50
or 100 but it was some absolutely absurd
amount for 40
per like they were making a killing on
the streets of vegas selling these
things anyways
i should have been like all right then
there's potential here probably
potential for a t-shirt some people are
10 steps ahead of me though they already
have 100 days of school cross niched
with popping my way they've got the
poppers they've got the 100 days of
school perfect cross niche which also
leads me to the next thing is there
another opportunity to cross niche
100 days of school with something else
or pop in my way through something else
that kids like um you know somebody with
kids would know better than i would uh
anyways as far as bsrs go 120 000 bsr
320 0
700 000 of course i don't go out of my
way to like only put the highest sell
the best sellers on these screenshots by
the way so i mean there's some there's
definitely other ones selling better
than 700 000
and behind me 176 000 bsr
and here you can see from flying
research one of the best sellers 39 000
bsr got the rainbow colors on the design
love that i got the popper with the
rainbow colors i have seen them and a
lot of them are like tie-dye and rainbow
so
it's uh true to form
all right seller trends if you want to
sell products related to
designs and niches that have significant
jumps in recent psr
we've got some 100 days of school
achievement unlocked gaming
we have a bunch of i steal hearts
valentine's day shirts some other
valentine's day shirts the one behind me
is the shark eating the candy
uh and then vintage 1972. i don't know
why that's oh okay okay
guys this is why we look at the seller
trends as flying research calls them
why is 1972 of all years selling so well
50 years people are turning 50 okay
that's significant date it's a
significant age so it's not random that
1972 is selling so well i'll bet you if
we go back a year 1971 was selling
really well so this is why we take a
second and we kind of look at some of
these
um future trends you know they call them
seller trends all right looking ahead if
you want to sell shirts related to
random holidays weird holidays is what i
google when i try to find the calendar i
google weird holidays 2022.
february 17th random acts of kindness
day february 18th national battery day
february 18th again national drink wine
day all right if you're gonna do
national drink wine day don't forget do
not check the youth checkbox all right
february 19th national chocolate mint
day
february 20th love your pet day this is
where if pablo was next to me i would
pick him up and show you but he is he's
gone i don't know where he is right now
he's up to no good probably all right
bonus shirts
uh i just picked one bonus i just really
like this design a lot of times in the
bonus i just show a design that i really
liked and i'm completely envious of
whoever was able to produce this design
because
you know back in the day i was good at
freehand drawing no joke i was good at
it i am not good at it anymore because i
don't write with my hands i'd click with
a mouse and a keyboard now so this is
one of these things that i haven't done
in so long that i could never produce
this anymore i don't say never but um
yeah so whoever whatever artist made a
shirt like this
they're the type of people that don't
need to take the volume approach on
merch by amazon
they don't need to go you know quantity
over quality they do quality over
quantity because that's their edge and
whatever your edge is as a seller
you know go full force but figure out
what your edge is first you know be
realistic like you don't have to be this
good at art to succeed at creating good
designs but like
don't spend all day making one design
only for it not to be great you know
what i mean that's that's the the real
threat if you're gonna put a lot of time
into designing make sure it's good and
again it's subjective i know i know i
know but
all right guys deleted designs brought
to you by merch ninja what do we see
here some gnomes um i don't know we have
a george kittle nfl not good gardner
minshew
another nfl player wouldn't infringe on
nfl players
um
behind me actually there's two down here
at the bottom let me hide myself really
quickly
so two poppet designs at the bottom
that's interesting actually um that
there's multiple poppet designs so
before you do any oh there's three pop
it daddy of the birthday girl
okay maybe it's something to do with
poppet and birthday but i would do some
research there and just try to make sure
