hey what's up guys welcome to top five
niches of the week episode 113 killing
it 113 episodes we got over two years
worth of top five niches and this is
gonna be a forward-looking episode i do
like to mix in these uh episodes where i
really give us a chance to get in ahead
of everybody else into some of these
niches that we can
with relative confidence most in most of
them some of them are guarantees but
others you know we're relatively
confident these are going to be trending
at some point in the near future and if
we have
listings that already have some sales on
these primary keywords we can be
established organically
in really good positions ideally at the
top of page one and really benefit from
the peak interest
in these uh big niches that we're going
to be covering today so why don't we get
right into it
[Music]
alright giveaway winners from the
previous week oh we're gonna delay this
week's giveaway until next week so we're
gonna have a two week long giveaway and
if you didn't have time to enter last
week make sure you use the link at the
top of the description to do so it's
completely free and two winners will be
randomly selected and announced next
sunday it's at ryanhogue.com forward
slash giveaway to enter also down there
in the in the description i've got my
eight day print on demand free mini
course and a great print on demand
facebook group
all right top five niches niche number
one
and this is related to the month of july
and high level things that tend to trend
uh in july and you know beyond july
niche number one is going to be about
grilling barbecuing spending time
outside
i was looking through vexels not
yesterday it was the day before
yesterday and there were just a ton of
really good designs related to grilling
and barbecuing and when i say a ton i
mean more than you would expect and i
downloaded every single one of them so
i'm preparing for
grilling i mean it's you know if we look
at bsrs actually right in front of us
hundred thousand hundred thousand two
hundred fifty thousand two hundred fifty
thousand so making regular sales uh at
the high end maybe not making well it
depends what keywords you type in by the
way i just typed in grilling in this
case into pretty merch pro plus but
uh it's not that hard to even make some
good designs like look at the third uh
best seller there it just says 225
degrees which by the way is an
interesting sub niche i mean whoever
made that design probably understands
grilling quite a bit to even think that
as a t-shirt design but if you're not
already a member of excels i can drop a
link in the description so you can check
it out vexels is really for like if
you're not a great designer
you can utilize professional designers
graphics that they pre-make you can use
them either as is or you can make them
your own i love to just take them take
the graphics add some text maybe tweak
the color scheme or cut out a single
element and reuse them in designs but
grilling is niche number one guys and
there's definitely money to be made in
this niche with big sub niche and cross
niche potential for instance like
father's day plus grilling is always a
big one in the month of june
all right and niche number two
is christmas in july now we are already
in july but christmas in july is a niche
that definitely sells relatively well
throughout july i had um someone from
all sunsets reach out to me this week
and say hey just wanted to give you a
heads up that we are already seeing a
spike
in both christmas designs and
halloween designs yes halloween designs
um i i mean there must be people that
want halloween in july as well as i mean
christmas in july for the christmas
lovers who doesn't love christmas uh but
they were seeing a lot of sales in those
two niches on their etsy shop so by the
way if you're not a member of all
sunsets you can go and check them out on
etsy and they have just a ton of digital
downloads available so you can just buy
one-off graphics although for what it's
worth like if you use the link in the
description shout out to them they
sponsor the weekly giveaway every other
well every week but they have all
sunsets and all-american graphics but
it's you know three dollars and change a
month
to use their service right so that's
very cheap and one you know 1999 t-shirt
sale covers it for the month with some
profits left over
so christmas in july uh again this is a
high level macro forward thinking
episode of top five niches of the week
and you can see here from pretty much
pro plus
just you know picking one of the
christmas in july shirts which by the
way bsr is 40 000 60 000 70 000 70 000
80 000 80 000. uh so selling quite well
averaging under 100 000 bsr
in the first row of results
and you can see here like a glimpse at
some of the design styles that work just
a girl who loves christmas in july you
can see the color schemes etc lots of
different ways to spin it and also i
mean
don't just do christmas in july if
you're gonna make christmas shirts
with a christmas in july spin make sure
you're also making a separate version
that will sell well in december because
if people love christmas enough to
celebrate christmas in july
you can bet they probably love christmas
enough to also buy a shirt for christmas
in december as well alright make sure
you cater to both sides
niche number three is going to be
national hot dog month yes july is
national hot dog month
in addition to grilling in addition to
july 4th hot dog eating contest
where they eat disgusting amounts of hot
dogs in 10 minutes and i'm pretty sure
joey chestnut wins like every single
year um and shout out to matt stoney
this dude was also he's a professional
eater he launched his brand of
merchandise using merch by amazon so i
did a video on that about a month ago
because i thought that was pretty
interesting
but hot dog related shirts uh who knows
i mean if you're just looking for
pivots you know when everybody else is
zigging you can zag you can be a little
bit contrarian well hey july a lot of
people are eating hot dogs but maybe not
thinking about selling hot dog t-shirts
but hey enough of us are consuming them
that
there's people out there wanting to buy
hot dog t-shirts bsrs aren't super
impressive but it is one of these things
where um the shirts are definitely
moving and if you're uploading them to
not only merch by amazon but also etsy
redbubble wherever else that you want to
sell t public i did an interview last
week with patrick halpin who t public is
his number one highest grossing um print
on demand platform you know what i mean
so don't sleep on t public
if you are wondering how there's enough
time in a day to upload to all these
platforms make sure you check out merch
titans upload automation
they are also a sponsor they are also
linked in the description because you
can click one button and then the
software will upload for you to places
like merch by amazon redbubble t public
uh teespring spreadshirts zazzle
society6 i mean it's it's a no-brainer
for me but anyways there is a learning
curve but once you you know get over the
learning curve it's
about as passive as it could possibly be
all right and if you want additional
bullet points keywords etc phrases
check out pretty merch pro plus they
have an analyze button on each of their
search results it'll launch a
overlay that looks like this with all
the detailed breakdown of information
including sales projections etc
all right niche number four
and this is back to school we know that
august all right august getting closer
and closer not to scare anybody about
summer almost being over but you know
hey i love august by the way as a
fantasy football player and hey how
about that as a bonus niche for august
fantasy football always one of my
favorite niches to design t-shirts in in
the month of august one that is commonly
overlooked yet it generates quite a few
sales uh that's one that's you know easy
right
uh but niche number four here we go back
to school there is so many ways to spin
this uh back you know when you're in
doing back to school i know this is
obvious but make sure you check the
youth checkbox
if you maybe were just uploading
something that uh could have been
related to july 4th and drinking alcohol
and maybe you've got your published
settings in merch by amazon with the
youth checkbox unchecked well
don't forget to go back in and check
that box when you're doing back to
school because it's a lot of kid related
shirts a lot of teacher related shirts
also as we know i would recommend by the
way this one behind me that i'm pointing
to the abcd
ripping off kind of the ac dc logo i
would not recommend i call that one
getting too cute or flying too close to
the sun whatever you want to call it i
would not recommend that but as far as
bsrs go in the month of july we are
seeing you know 130 130 150 160 160 180
000
bsrs all right so pretty low bsrs for
back to school considering what month it
is i guess people are going back to
summer school
for the kids that didn't do too well in
normal school maybe
i shouldn't laugh all right and niche
number five here we go it is
this is one where i was trying to think
a little bit outside the box
all right as we kind of roll out of
june juneteenth
how about black business month in august
i don't know
how well this is going to sell as far as
t-shirts go
but i wanted to put it out there all
right so you can start brainstorming and
see if this is something that you can
design t-shirts in there weren't a lot
of results returned by um pretty merch
pro plus but they don't have every
single in uh t-shirt indexed either
i don't think any software or database
outside of amazon merch's database and
amazon's catalog itself probably has
every single t-shirt indexed so black
business month just due to lack of
results in july when these shirts
probably haven't you know since like
month is in the name like literally it's
not black business it's black business
month
in august um they probably haven't been
in high demand and been trending for
you know the last 11 months so
hey i'm just throwing it out there
sometimes i get a little uh different
with how i do top five niches and i
think there's sales potential here so i
wanted to share it we will know when we
get there alright but in case that does
pop off i want you guys to be in there
making
designs making t-shirts and making sales
let's do seller trends these are shirts
that have seen a big jump in bsr
recently indicating a big spike in sales
velocity can be indicative of future
trends current trends etc
we've got a christmas shirt in there
we've got some july 4th
we have you know a lot of my body my
choice like abortion related shirts etc
uh 1973. so a lot of the stuff you would
expect to see
given the current you know trends that
we've already kind of covered so instead
of being redundant we switched it up for
this episode all right looking ahead if
you want to sell shirts and print on
demand products related to random
holidays that are date related uh we
have august 10th
lazy day all right and you got the sloth
there august 11th sun and daughter day
august 12th world elephant day
august 13th
left handers day can't help but think of
ned flanders what was it called like the
leftorium or something on the simpsons
for all left-handed people
august 14th national creamsicle day who
doesn't love a good creamsicle
all right and bonus design i just like
this design because of how simplistic it
was
it's like a big design it's mainly text
based
it is just well executed even though
it's all one color it says it took me 80
years to look this good only one color
just white in the foreground optimized
for dark colored shirts in the
background also notice they did not make
the color black
available
in the shirts and that may have been
strategic because hey like we always say
if you make black available guess what
thumbnail's going to show up in search
results yup black so
if you're in a niche like the birthday
niche well how do you stand out you
pretty much want to stand out any way
possible because you know it's going to
be crowded in the birthday niche it's
such an obvious low-hanging fruit one
that we know generates ton of sales
year-round so it's high value
why not just not make the color black
available and let the you know merge
algorithm pick a different color shirt
to show in search results so that when
everybody else is shown in black you're
showing in anything but that you know
just being a little bit contrarian here
deleted designs brought to you by merch
ninja here we go we got
i don't even know there's just so many
none of them are really sticking out to
me got a pi day design um someone's
ripping off dungeons and dragons up
there gold's gym gold's gym gold's gym
gold's gym so four gold's gym you got
two pokemon designs someone ripping off
disney
just a quick reminder we already know
this but oh another ripoff of disney
yeah don't do that guys if you do that
you are going to have a bad time this is
a long-term business model and just one
more reminder to take advantage of the
weekly giveaway if you did not do so
already we extended the past week's
giveaway so it's gotta have the same
sponsors
