hey what's up guys happy sunday welcome
to top five niches of the week episode
108
and today i've got five really high
value niches for you to target in the
near term sometimes these episodes are a
lot easier to do than other times like
there's there are lulls that happen uh
organically where it's really tough to
like scrape together five five right
five across the whole world like five
concentrations of
pockets where customers are going and
looking to buy t-shirts regularly that
intersect and other times like today
they're really easy to find so i've got
five good ones for you let's get started
[Music]
real quick got to announce the two
giveaway winners congratulations i
actually already reached out to you last
night so if you won just check your
email inbox and you will know um
congratulations to the person at the
bottom too they won with only three
entries so uh only a 0.11
probability of winning yet you were
randomly selected by the king sumo
software that i used to run these
giveaways so shout out to you both
congratulations and we're kicking off a
new free print-on-demand giveaway so you
already know the deal top link in the
description to take advantage of that
also i've got a free eight-day print on
demand mini course delivered via email
if you want to take me up on that offer
all i need is your email address and you
can find a link to that in the
description and i've got a great print
on demand facebook group that i'd love
to have you in the link is down there in
the description you guessed it
and here's a sales update merged by
amazon so over the last week i saw some
lulls
in the sales and i really think that
like
the the disparity between some of these
days where like a down day can be like a
third of the sales of an up day
which is weird i i i can't help but
wonder if it's like
algorithmically controlled by the merged
by amazon team or not team like as in
one person's doing it but maybe like
algorithmically like you know so it can
happen at scale um that's just me
theorizing i don't have a way of proving
it
either way i did 1 116 in royalties over
the last seven days on 300 sales
all right let's get to these niches
niche number one
is one that's going to look familiar
because i put out a warning a week or
two ago i think it was two weeks ago
where i went to google trends and i
typed in pride t-shirt and i think i
typed in like gay pride t-shirt
whichever the like the highest value
keywords were which by the way you don't
have to guess google trends will
actually show you when you put in at
least two queries into google trends it
shows you completely for free the higher
line one will be lower one will be
higher if you put in at least two
the one that's higher are the higher
value keywords you don't you don't have
to guess
uh and i showed you guys that the first
week of june which we are currently
still in is when you're going to make by
far the vast majority of the sales in
your pride t-shirts and what do you know
the niche number one like
best-selling niche on amazon
dominating is uh the gay pride t-shirts
right the pride t-shirts and you'll
notice like a lot of rainbow color
schemes and whatnot i mean i invite you
to just go do a search on amazon and
kind of scroll through get a feel for
what design style is being favored by
the customers because amazon's algorithm
does let the cream rise to the top as
long as you're not looking at ads so
yeah if you're gonna upload any more
pride shirts i would recommend doing it
like asap because we know that the
interest at least in terms of search
volume on google
drops off uh
relatively soon okay
niche number two
and this one kind of caught me off guard
because i don't know of that we've seen
fourth of july shirts trending a full
month before fourth of july but in this
case it's a uh
it's the it's the graphic of joe biden
looking like completely lost um you know
what's funny is i made a t-shirt i made
like i think two t-shirts like a year
ago or so um on ebay i was too scared to
list them on amazon or etsy because you
know they
were heavy on the censoring of anything
like anti-biden and pro-trump we know
that it happened right so it's not just
me saying it it happened and i'm not i
don't know why but anyways uh the joe
biden looking lost graphic and it's
weird because it's like hard to find
this graphic on google but i remember
seeing it i was like no i know what
graphic i'm looking for eventually i
found it uh and i've actually made some
sales um of a completely original like
joe biden t-shirt using this graphics i
just thought it was low-hanging fruit
right it just seemed too easy uh anyways
here we are a year later the graphics
back it's resurrected and uh mary fourth
of you know the thing
is trending right now i don't know why
i'm not that big into politics i know
that like you know
when you see things like this at the
gas station
almost 10 a gallon gasoline um you may
have a reason why you know what i mean
like people may be buying like auntie
biden sentiment t-shirts of course
i am not lost in the two-party paradigm
by any stretch of the imagination so if
you think that i'm leaning more towards
antibiotic that must mean i'm pro-trump
or something it's not the case guys
you gotta just elevate your
yourself from the two-party paradigm
kind of look down and say why are there
only two parties isn't that a little
interesting that uh that they're
orchestrating because it's not organic
anyways let's not make this about
politics guys but i promise you it's not
organic that there's only two parties um
that is well orchestrated from the top
down for a reason but i'm not going to
tell you what that reason is because how
could i know right we can only guess um
but you know if you think about it for
like 10 seconds it's kind of
you can think of a couple good reasons
why that might be the case anyways mary
fourth of you know the thing t-shirts
are trending right now and uh doing
quite well notice i should just point
out
these shirts are all relatively new they
don't have a single review on them yet
all right so i mean and people are
making some money check the
the price points 1599 1499 1699 1449 the
one behind me where i hid myself but
it's 19.99 so there's definitely money
being made in this niche
all right niche number three actually
one last note too if we're a month out
from fourth of july and this is a fourth
of july theme t-shirt doing this well um
that could be indicative of who knows
right if if there's no intervention on
amazon's side of things to like make
these shirts go away this could be
selling like a bestseller for a whole 30
days i don't know if that's gonna be the
case i'm not able to predict the future
any better than you are but like we're
this is early for fourth of july all
right and it's doing quite well
all right niche number three
all right and this is father's day we
all know father's day is coming guys so
and i just picked a sub niche that i
know sells really well every year i'm
not just saying to only sell this
father's day sub niche i'm just saying
hey father's day shirts are going to be
selling well for at least the next you
know 10 days uh what is father's day
it's i think it's june 16th right
father's day
was it june 16th june 19th all right so
yeah so we probably have about 10 days
of sales
remaining for father's day and uh
if people are waiting until the last
second to get a father's day gift well
you're probably going to see the biggest
spike in sales over the next week so
it's definitely a good time to be in
this niche again if you're in a high
merch tier and you have a lot of upload
slots do you need to be chasing trends
constantly no you don't if you're in
tier 10 and you need to make those slots
count
because selling a halloween design in
tier 10 in the middle of june does that
is that going to help you no it's not
but selling a father's day shirt in june
yeah that's that's definitely going to
help you
all right so here we go by the way shout
out to pretty merch pro plus if you want
to drill down into the um you know
keywords that the shorts are ranking on
which i cropped out of this picture but
it's down here at the bottom it says
keyword analysis and helps you with like
what keywords to target on your listings
and whatnot check out pretty much pro
plus they also have the built-in
trademark search they've got a lot of
great tools including the research tool
which is what i use to put these videos
together so there's always a link in the
description all right niche number four
here we go
and this is juneteenth uh the juneteenth
specific date by the way you don't
really need to know the date you're
better off looking at like google trends
like google.com trends and you know we
can do it in real time if you guys want
to and since nobody's able to actually
give me real-time feedback i'm going to
assume that at least one person wants to
so let's do it google.com trends
type in juneteenth now notice we get the
past 12 months of data now i like to
switch this
to the past five years because then we
can actually kind of see by the way this
exploded in 2020 it looks like there was
really no interest in it years prior at
least relative to 2020 um
so i don't know what changed but like
juneteenth it looks like june 14th to
20th is the
apex by a massive margin in terms of
interest so
you definitely have time you've got nine
days
till we're basically in that like peak
interest for juneteenth uh designs look
at that's 2020 2021 is it about the same
i don't know why it's not even letting
me like mouse over there we go
june 13th to 19th
okay so we know we're about a week out
from peak interest in juneteenth so if
you're like okay well the pride peak
interest is already right now so maybe i
just jump straight ahead to juneteenth i
wouldn't be mad at you for that but i'm
just saying like guys with the internet
we don't always have to guess we have
the data at our fingertips so let's just
utilize it right and there's more than
just google trends like you can go
download the helium 10 chrome extension
you don't need to pay just create a free
account and then when you look at
product detail pages on amazon you can
see the historical bsr data so you can
see
um in this case i mean it's like
inverted on google trends the peak
interest is the chart going up well
with um helium 10 and the bsr historical
data when it goes down because remember
number one bestseller is the best you
can ever do well that's a lower number
so it goes down so it's inverted
basically from what you're used to
seeing
if you look at google trends so niche
number four we had juneteenth we know
that we are about a week out from peak
interest but we've already got bsrs 23
000 2300 25 26 30 30 so yeah um crushing
it by the way again i don't know if this
is
like people abusing the merch algorithm
i don't know right i'm just a youtuber i
know as much as you do most of the time
but look at the review count on the
bestsellers
six reviews one review one review four
reviews zero and zero
okay like that's that's weird
uh but you know
it is what it is
um and this brand you can see it says
juneteenth shirt black girl melanin
black history which is actually
interesting because isn't that too long
like shouldn't that be
i don't know i see i see everybody
talking about um kind of the
manipulation of the
uh
search algorithm with the unknown brand
and whatnot so i'm over here on my side
monitor actually just pulling it up in
real time
let's check this out
and see
oh yeah we want to view it on amazon
actually
okay so what do we see no the brand
actually fits so there we go guys um i
guess it's not using the like unknown
brand hack which i don't even know if
it's confirmed that that helps you rank
or not but anyways we just checked it
out in real time and there we go
all right niche number five
and here we go back on google trends i
got to hide myself really quickly but
last day of school okay and
i saw some last day of school trends
or shirts trending but here's the thing
when we look at google trends
peak interest
was basically the last day of may so
last day of school is not something we
should be looking at and if you actually
look at the tail uh the the dashed line
here all the way to the right that's
basically the projection of where this
is headed
in the near future and you can see what
direction is it pointing is it pointing
up no it's pointing down so google's
actually assisting us in
avoiding the last day of school as a
trend so niche number five is not last
day of school all right i just wanted to
show you how you might talk yourself out
of pursuing a certain niche
and i'm just thinking out loud here with
niche number five we already see a july
fourth design doing really well in the
biden okay and then you've got the ultra
mega design that we saw really trending
like crazy maybe two or three weeks ago
by the way real quick disclaimer
before you upload anything related to
politics i do recommend checking out my
video in the description called is this
niche safe
because it's more than just checking a
trademark we know the algorithm will
reject things
even if like something's not trademarked
there's more to it than that there's a
content policy and it's also a pretty
ambiguous content policy so always check
that video out if you've never seen it
and follow it the best you can to keep
your account safe when submitting
anything especially if it's in the realm
of politics because as we saw in the
last like i don't even know what was the
end of 2020 or something
the time is just blurred at this point
uh but like basically all of the like
major like companies got involved in
pushing certain like political
narratives and agendas like it it
happened right and that extends to our
merch by amazon accounts and keeping
them safe we have to file like stay in
line with what they are currently
allowing and obviously that changes over
time i don't know who changes it but it
you know clearly i mean in real terms
right all of a sudden no more trump
shirts right all of a sudden no more
anti-biden shirts and then all of a
sudden we can do trump shirts again and
then all of a sudden we can do andy
biden again someone discern they said
okay now it's allowed they didn't
actually say it but then all of a sudden
these shirts start popping up so again
we are just the like meager peasants
trying to get food to buy bread right
we're trying to upload some shirts
to to go and live our lives so let's
just kind of divorce ourselves from the
you know whatever it is that we're
selling on the t-shirt and just try to
make some money but i'm saying keep your
account safe we know that if you're in
this space specifically anything related
to politics there's the
increased elevated potential for a
rejection and if you try to write them
back and say why you're gonna get that
generic copy paste like oh blah blah
blah content policy so all right let's
just all be passed let's be better it's
22. we've been doing this for a while
we're episode 108 all right unless you
just found my channel in which case
welcome
so here we go ultra mega like because we
still see look at the bsrs on the shirts
38 000 60 000 90 000.90 so there's still
some interest there
and we already saw joe biden
cross niched with july 4th so why not
ultra mega cross niche july 4th i'm just
thinking out loud here i'm just throwing
it out there i don't know if that's
going to be a bestseller or not i don't
know if it'll even be allowed if you try
to upload it because i'm too scared to
try to upload anything that says magga
believe that um but you know again is
this niche safe check out the video you
can see that people were uploading it
and if you do your research you may see
recent uploads and that would be a good
indicator that people are still
uploading it but
you know check out the video for a full
in-depth description of my best
practices all right here we go date
uploaded uh may 10th right so we know
that was about the time where the ultra
maga stuff was like peak hysteria peak
interest as far as customers go again we
don't have to guess we have the real
sales data you know what i mean check
out helium10 check out google trends et
cetera we're just using data here um but
yeah so
has the algorithm been updated to not
allow any new submissions possibly i
don't know
would it surprise me if it has been no
seller trends here we go guys uh these
are shirts that have seen a significant
drop drop as in like reduction in bsr
indicating higher interest higher sales
recently uh we've got a pride shirt
we've got a father's day shirt we've got
a last day of school shirt we got a
pride shirt another pride shirt uh and
then five more pride shirts there you go
so that's a pretty good indication of
what people are buying right now and hey
we were early on this we knew we used
trends data and we knew we had the time
frame spot on all right looking ahead if
you want to sell shirts related to
random holidays that are about a month
out we have july 5th we already know
july 4th is going to be huge
july 5th we have national bikini day
july 6 international kissing day all
right july 7th chocolate day who doesn't
want to celebrate chocolate day i'm a
dark chocolate guy by the way i don't
know i used to love milk chocolate then
i started eating dark chocolate and i
can't go back i just love dark chocolate
doesn't leave that sugary taste in your
mouth
uh not as much at least july 8th video
games day i'll definitely probably
celebrate that i do still play a little
bit of video games on uh you know on my
pc i'm not a console gamer uh july 9th
national sugar cookie day and why not
you know what i'll celebrate that too i
love i love a good sugar cookie just
don't put raisins in my cookies i can't
do it i'm sorry
alright bonus designs i had two today uh
the dinosaur
uh lgbt pride shirt and the reason i
picked this one is because
i mean we always say with every big
niche dinosaurs are the ultimate cross
niche with anything anything including
pride shirts as we see here and if you
have a good dinosaur graphic like it's
not that hard to just kind of like
overlay the the you know do a clipping
mask or something with a pride you know
flag which i'm assuming that's what they
did and then they just colored the text
underneath allysaurus okay brilliant
and the next one the mary fourth so you
know how we had the joe biden fourth of
july shirts well somebody was thinking
outside the box here
and they did the fourth of july check
joe biden check father's day check so
they did a triple cross niche right so
somebody sees the fourth of july biden
and they say okay let's also add one
more piece to the puzzle and do father's
day and they're making sales so i just
want to commend somebody for thinking
outside the box
all right deleted designs brought to you
by merch ninja research tools so a ton
of the lgbt shirts that have
liberty guns beer and trump on them we
don't know why they were removed uh but
you know
and then also a bunch of these spanish
are they like tarot cards or something i
don't even know but there is a whole
bunch of them all removed
and they have like numbers and things on
them i can guess why maybe this one was
removed it says boogeyman but that's
definitely uh what is that jason from uh
from like the horror movies so anyways
