what up guys welcome to top five niches
of the week episode 55 i'm gonna bring
you five of the top selling niches of
the week
to increase your print on demand sales
in the immediate future
let's get right into it
[Music]
before we get to the niches just wanted
to give you guys a preview of some of
the videos i'm going to drop this
upcoming week
i'm going to do a video on what you need
to know before you start selling on
merch by amazon
i'm going to do a text only text based
design tutorial
and it's going to be better than you
think and i'm gonna do some etsy shop
reviews on a saturday so make sure
you're subscribed
all right we have two winners to
announce from last week's giveaway
congrats to these
two winners i'll be reaching out to you
as soon as i finish uh recording this
video
and this week's giveaway is now open you
can find a link in the description at
ryanhook.com forward slash giveaway also
in the description
you can find my eight day print on
demand mini course delivered to your
inbox via email it's a lot more thorough
than you probably
think for a free course it's pretty good
and you'll find a link to my print on
demand facebook group
with a great community in the
description as well
all right niche number one just kidding
before we get to niche number one just a
reminder check out my interview with the
trademark watchdogs in case there's any
confusion on how print-on-demand
trademarks work
i'm gonna keep throwing out that
reminder every few weeks uh just because
i think it's important
all right this episode is gonna be a lot
to do with father's day
now i gave you guys a uh preview that
father's day was going to be trending
very soon i think that was two or three
weeks ago two or three episodes ago
um so some of you guys already have a
head start but in this episode when i
looked at my
my i keep my research tools on my side
monitor that's why i'm like glancing
over here
when i was looking and doing my niche
research for this episode
i saw the father's day niches
predictably creeping up into the top
also
um in case you guys want to go back an
episode or maybe two
the graduation niches for the students
graduating from school
and um you know enjoying summer break
those are also still hot right now
but father's day we're the big gainers
this week and father's day
is about 21 days away three weeks away
so there's still time to add some new
ones and make some sales
now niche number one is a sub niche of
the father's day
parent niche and it is this father
figure
niche uh there's different ways to
attack this but a very popular one is
this it's not a dad bod it's a father
figure
so i don't know if you call this niche
dad bod or father figure
but these are selling like crazy right
now you can see the best seller has a
bsr of
3552 so it is making
quite a few sales a day and it's already
got 298 reviews on that shirt
and you can see here from flying
research that that thing has been
holding
steady with a very low bsr since
mid april so well done to this shirt by
the way notice it's basically text only
and it's just got a distressed effect on
the text but it looks like that might
even be a distressed font because i see
a lot of similarities in some of the
letters
also before we move on to niche number
two i got a shout out to my
fellow uh light beer drinkers or i don't
know i guess this is bush it's not bush
light but
i still think of it as light beer how
about this shout out to my fellow cheap
beer drinkers who recognize that this
shirt very closely mimics
the logo for a box of
bush beer now i put the shrug emoji
because
just because the color schemes are
similar it's clearly not an exact
rip-off
so anyways i'm not going to be the
arbiter of what's okay and what's not
okay i just want to let you guys know
that if you were inspired by this design
style
which there's a bunch of them sprinkled
amongst the best sellers
you may want to play it safe and not
use a design style that very closely
mimics a popular beer brand at least
popular to me
i don't mind drinking bush bush light
nettie light et cetera i like the light
beers the cheap ears i don't know why i
guess i grew up with them
all right niche number two i don't know
why i just shared that with you guys uh
niche number two
i'm the best step dad proud stepdad i
have two titles dad and stepdad
best step step dad ever so the whole
point of this one guys is that you don't
need to restrict and
confine the scope of your father's day
designs to just
dads or you know whatever i don't know
does that come across wrong you get what
i'm saying
expand it to grandpa to step dad
to you i mean you get indexed on similar
keywords step father you know what i
mean the amazon algorithm will figure
out eventually
that stepdad and stepfather are most
likely
catered to the same crowd you know the
same customers who search for step dad
might see a stepfather design and buy
that
the algorithm will figure that out over
time with sales but
when you're just posting new designs you
can still swap your design to say
stepdad and then stepfather and
grandpa and paw and what whatever it is
papa
you know so i'm just letting you guys
know that you can get indexed well not
indexed but you can
oh yeah you can upload a design that
says best step dad and then include the
other keywords
to get indexed on them but my favorite
way of going about this if you have
extra upload slots and it depends where
you're uploading to
if you're pushing to redbubble you get
60 uploads a day there's no harm done
in rendering like five different
versions of your design doing it for dad
step dad
father stepfather and grandpa you know
what i mean having five different
versions of it because you don't know
exactly what the customer wants the
customer may want a design that says
step
father instead of step dad so anyways
that's the the point of
niche number two here is to think expand
your horizons expand the scope of your
designs especially if you're going to
take time out of your day
to make some kick-ass designs like you
know get increase the likelihood of um
customers seeing them and increase the
likelihood of getting sales so here you
go you've got a um happy father's day to
my amazing stepdad
thanks for putting up with my mom
there's so many guys there's so many
um ways you can take these uh father's
day designs this one's a funny one
19 000 bsr there so really funny
niche number three all right this is all
about
uh not just saying dad but expanding it
from i guess you could say human
children
to things like best cat dad ever best
dog dad ever daddy soros
for the t-rex dad uh or best papa
by par for the dads that love golf
there's
against just so much potential for this
niche
um like hopefully when i said oh we're
gonna do father's day uh in this episode
you didn't just think like oh okay best
dad ever or like
best dad 2021 by the way new fathers i
just thought of it i don't have any
designs for new fathers but like
you could say something like dad
established 2021 now that's obviously
going to be like a very generic
um tough to break into niche but maybe
there's a way of subnicing it or cross
niching it
that you can get away with okay i know i
saw some cross niches too that i don't
know if i screenshotted but like there
were some doing it with like juneteenth
because that's the day before
uh father's day so here's a cat dad
design you can see 19600 bsr
and over the next three weeks these bsrs
are going to continually
improve basically by my projections
you're going to have your evergreens
you're going to have your end of the
school year designs and you're going to
have your father's day designs
and then whatever comes out of the blue
oh yeah juneteenth is going to be big
and anything that pops up in the news
cycle is my projection for what's going
to be hot over the next
few weeks in june uh best dog dad ever
49
000 bsr daddysaurus 54 000
bsr and again flying research shout out
to them i think they're sponsoring this
week's
giveaway if it wasn't last week no they
sponsored last week's giveaway
uh shout out to the winners they get a
free license but you can see the
keywords too that you should be
primarily targeting
so this one says daddy dinosaur funny
daddysaurus kid's apparel husband
all right niche number four and this is
all about dad jokes
we know that the humor sells it's not
even just a father's day thing like
humorous shirts sell all day all year
round
in any niche now the dad joke shirts are
pretty funny
um you may have heard some of these like
this first one here says i tell dad
j oh it's like the periodic table j-o is
one then k
and then e-s period i tell dad jokes
periodically
but only when i'm in my element because
it's the periodic table of elements
next one says i have gone and it's like
a chalkboard that says like
x number of days it says i have gone
zero days without making a dad joke my
previous record was
zero days uh the third shirt says dad
jokes i think you mean
rad jokes wow good one good one there
guys oh
the next one's another like dad i've
gone x number of days without
and the one behind me here undefeated
dad joke champion
bad puns are how i roll
eye roll anyways yeah there's some good
ones guys there's lots of potential
if you have a dad joke that you don't
see a lot of t-shirts for
there's massive potential look at that
first design you see there
which by the way is basically a text
only design but very good usage of color
contrast there i love the reds the
yellows the blues etc
they have a 12 000 bsr and i'll bet you
if we check back in two weeks that
thing's gonna be under ten thousand
uh here is another funny one this is one
that i featured before it says i keep
all my dad jokes in
a dad base instead of database
and you can see this shirt has a 24 000
bsr
all right niche number five on the week
and this
is meant to show you that there are
going to be shirts indexed
on the primary keywords father's day and
by the way you don't need to take me at
my word go to amazon
use the search merch tool though that's
my recommendation to filter out
non-amazon merch t-shirts
this also helps you avoid rejections by
entering niches that you're not allowed
to be in
uh anyways type in father's day and
scroll some of them are like obvious
father's day stuff
some are like this shirt it says i'm not
old i'm classic
when i searched father's day t-shirt
this is what popped up uh
on page one i mean there were some other
ones on page one as well but this
illustrates illustrates the concept
that i wanted to get across and that's
that you can have a shirt that
doesn't at face value like have anything
to do with father's day
and it can still be a very popular buy
for
by people that are searching for a gift
to give for father's day so anyways this
is like a muscle car
it says i'm not old i'm classic and it's
got a nice like distressed look and feel
instead of just using a flat white they
use like more of a gray like a worn gray
look
so whoever designed that probably knows
what really knows what they're doing
most likely and
well executed there you can see here on
flying research this design has a 24 000
bsr and it is
arcing up and to the right which would
indicate uh
low consistently lower bsr as we
approach father's day but this this is a
good evergreen that probably sells
year-round as well
all right looking ahead to uh future
dates that you may want to target
with random niches seemingly random
niches
june 20 father's day we mentioned that
june 27th
is national onion day i do love me some
onions when i'm eating
june 28th international body piercing
day june 29th
international mud day i mean seriously
everything's got a day apparently
june 30th meteor day that one sounds
cool
all right bonus shirts and these were so
random so when i logged into flying
research to prepare the niches for this
week
by default you see international niches
mixed in with
with you know basically you see niches
from all of the
different amazon marketplaces and there
was one that caught my eye
from spain amazon.es and it was this
design and this was like one of the best
sellers and it just said
it's like a gas tank uh from eid to full
and it's like it's on empty and it says
necesito cerveza and i just thought that
was hilarious and like in the meter in
the middle of the the gas meter there's
just a beer icon
so i thought that was really funny and
then this
shirt was advertising the second shirt
was advertised on this listing
um there you know you can actually do
that on amazon by the way you can pay to
show up on your competitors listings
i didn't find that ever to be profitable
with my fba products or my merch
products so i do not do that but some
people still do
and this one is i don't read spanish so
i don't know what they called it
but this shirt is like an all over print
shirt that just has like a frothy beer
on the shirt so man now i'm like craving
a beer i don't know what it is about
this episode i had the bush at the
beginning and i got these two shirts
maybe i need to go grab one after this
but
never too early right and i just thought
this shirt was hilarious if you can
execute an all-over print this well
like this is good all right deleted
designs really quickly
and i grabbed these from the merch ninja
research tools i don't really
see why these are getting pulled other
than maybe the uw
at the top if that's got something to do
with like a college university
other than that i'd just be guessing all
right and then
just another reminder i noticed this as
well so
in the father's day shirts there was a
play on the natural light beer
also known as nadi and these people used
like the exact same color scheme the
exact same design style but it just says
natty daddy and to me this is like
far too close especially because it
actually like says
natty not that natural light says that
i've never seen a case of 90 that says
that but um
it's still just too close for my liking
so i would definitely definitely stay
away i mean i personally wouldn't go and
design the bush shirt myself
either but um i'd feel more comfortable
doing that than this
and here are two other reminders not to
get too cute with your designs
super daddio with the mario style design
don't do that
and especially this one right here that
says the dadalorian
uh you're asking for it if you'd go this
route do not do that
that is not an official disney
sanctioned design that is a design by
somebody who's probably gonna lose their
merch account soon so
all right guys and before we wrap up
