hey what's up guys welcome back to top
five niches of the week episode
105 and man it's been a while since i
recorded a video i was gone vacationing
for the last week but it feels great to
be back into the swing of things and i'm
excited because i've got some really
good niches to show you guys especially
the lower tier merch by amazon sellers
or anybody that's just looking to make
their first sale there are certainly
some nice
new opportunities that i feel confident
in suggesting that i think you'll be
able to take advantage of to capture
those sales in the near term so why
don't we get started
real quick got to announce the two
giveaway winners so congratulations if
that looks like your email address
you'll hear from me shortly with your
prizes and of course we have a new
giveaway that's kicking off today so
make sure you take advantage using the
link in the description uh two winners
will be randomly selected and announced
next week and i've got a free print on
demand mini course down there in the
description if you're not already taking
advantage of that i would suggest you do
so and i've got a great print on demand
facebook group if you're not already a
member you should check that out i would
love to have you there
and here is just a sales update so i was
vacationing the whole last week all
right i didn't do anything at my
computer um as far as like work goes and
i still just from merch by amazon alone
while traveling while being on a beach
you know enjoying the nicer things in
life made 1 142
not bad right so this is the passive
income you know goals that hopefully we
all share and i mean yeah of course i
want to scale this number up even higher
but considering that i was gone for you
know i was in florida then i had to come
back fly to new york city for a friend's
wedding um but i've just been traveling
and you know i'm 142
richer
for the work that i've done on my merch
by amazon account so keep that long-term
perspective guys and just keep keep
pushing
all right niche number one and this is a
good one and it is a new one and if you
do niche research regularly you probably
already know what this one's going to be
so i don't know the origin of this but
ultra mega all right ultra mega and i
always like to reference uh google
trends as you see behind me here uh it
looks like this just kind of came out of
nowhere well actually it looks like
there was some data in maybe
what is that like march or february of
2022 probably march it
it popped up just briefly
and then recently now in uh since late
april it looks like it's just been
spiking in interest
in the google search engine okay
so ultra maga without understanding the
origins um you know clearly probably got
trump ties and as long as amazon is i
guess letting us list things related to
trump i'm assuming it's you know
pro-trump but i don't actually know that
to be true but either way um there was a
period of time where amazon like didn't
let us really list pro-trump stuff for
some reason uh i think while he was
still president if i remember but either
way
um we obviously want to be able to sell
pro-trump anti-trump pro-biden
anti-biden across the board right we're
trying to make money here i'm reverse
engineering the goal of making money i'm
assuming i speak for most of us watching
this video at least that we you know are
really just chasing the you know the
dollar bills so anyways
here we go ultra mega you can see some
uh
i just realized what this was like i saw
the picture
and it's definitely like kind of ripping
off or alluding to lord of the rings i
think so i would definitely not do that
with your designs but i just realized
that that's supposed to be like trump's
face with uh it was an aragorn isn't
that his name uh from lord of the rings
and that's like kind of like
photoshopped into his head i don't know
it's kind of a funny design and the two
of them in the top six designs but i
would definitely stay away from
referencing like
any big intellectual property like lord
of the rings i'm pretty sure that's what
that's supposed to be doing even the
spot behind me here is probably
referencing what is that it's definitely
a beer is that like michelob or
something um correct me if i'm wrong
also just mentioning
this is a good uh just quick glimpse
into when political style designs are
selling well like what style of design
uh customers prefer all right so just
take a note of some of the best sellers
and kind of
i don't know make a mental note or take
screenshots
because
when political you know with election
years or whatnot like these are going to
be useful to be able to reference in the
future
also anybody thinking like oh it's
trademarked but this one it was filed on
may 10 2022 all right so if you do go to
the um trademark database which we
should do for all of our
uh trademarks
which i apologize by the way for last
week for the um the recommendation of
the birds aren't real which seemingly
disappeared just as fast as it appeared
um i saw all these new submissions with
no reviews i just assumed so that was my
bad for recommending it when it was
getting rejections
this one though ultra mega was just
filed on may 10th so we should have at
least 9 10 11 12 months of selling and
i'm sure the window will probably be
at least right now it's like the number
one trending thing on amazon merch uh so
you should be safe for now
um yeah so i have a little arrow there
pointing to the filing date if anybody
is wondering
all right and then here's some in-depth
information brought to you by pretty
merch pro plus my niche research tool of
choice uh this is a best-selling shirt
it's the best seller on ultramega and
you can see it was uploaded just five
days ago on may 10th
all right niche number two and this is
the graduation niche i believe we talked
about it last week uh obviously if you
guys have kids or if you are a kid
depending on your age uh you know that
graduation is gonna be big in uh mid-may
to june so we're gonna be seeing a lot
of graduation stuff trending
for probably another month at least if i
uh if i recall correctly right it all
depends on like what school you're in uh
but this is gonna be you know a big
niche for the time being and you can
sell to college you can sell to high
school middle school elementary school
kindergarten right you can sell well i
don't know if they have a shirt that
will fit a kindergartener so maybe
consider what sizes are available for
the merch that you're selling but yeah
graduation is selling quite well
all right niche number three
and this is uh definitely like trending
recently uh the my body my choice so
you'll notice there's a lot of different
ways you can get into this niche
and average bsrs appear to be just about
well under 100 000 which is always good
in the top six indicating high sales
velocity um depending on how you get
your news and whatnot you're probably
aware of like why this is probably
trending i don't know what youtube
allows us to talk about anymore so i'm
not even gonna like go there but um you
can kind of you know re research that on
your own but anyways things that people
get you know fired up about um that
that's kind of that translates often
into things that people would wear on a
t-shirt to project outward to the world
that this is how they feel about
something um so yeah so this is you know
my body my choice i did a trademark
search everything was dead uh meaning
like no live records which means you
should be able to submit
however as i always mentioned guys and i
go in detail about this in my video
linked to in the description called is
this niche safe
i i don't know that this is going to
work like i don't know for sure that
amazon is going to approve your shirts
because i just think of like my body my
choice it's one of those like slogans
that
i don't know it i don't even i don't
want to speak to it like i'm an expert
but it seems like it carries a little
bit of political charge same with like
ultra mega like it wouldn't surprise me
if one day you're just oh they snap
their fingers you're not allowed to sell
that anymore like my body my choice it's
not trademarked does that mean that the
merch algorithm's going to let you
submit it i don't know right i don't
know so that's why i always recommend
watching my video which is the best
advice i can give called is this niche
safe where we use market data from
amazon
who is ultimately the gatekeeper of what
we can sell and what we can't sell to
try to keep your account safe
all right niche number four oh yeah also
the ruth bader ginsburg stuff i would
definitely still stay away from like
we obviously saw crazy t-shirt sales
when she um passed away but like
a lot of rejections too and people were
saying they got their accounts closed
over the the rbg ruth bader ginsburg
stuff so i would personally
as a seasoned vet of merch by amazon say
stay away from that that's just my
personal opinion doesn't mean you can't
make money in this niche but i would
just not do ruth bader ginsburg
all right niche number four
and this is kind of piggybacking off of
the previous niche but again guys like
in the top five niches you want to be
where customers are like based on what
they're searching for based on this data
point called bsr
all right best seller ranking and
that means we're gonna you know stay
within this niche and this one is just
related to
uh it's similar to the my body my choice
but it's just related to like uteruses
all right
there i said it um mind your own uterus
is like a big one that's trending so you
might want to look into that niche as
well
all right niche number five and this is
piggybacking off of graduation so of
course we have graduation shirts we also
have
last day of school or coincidentally
like you could do first day of summer i
don't know however you want to spin it
but look for opportunities to make money
in this niche because t-shirts are going
to be moving like crazy this is
obviously a niche as well
that i think you should make the youth
size available as often as possible
because you know kids are going to be
wearing these shirts but also like
t-shirts you know
teachers make sure that the teachers
have t-shirts that they can wear to
celebrate the last day of school as well
we know that teacher themed designs sell
extremely well year round
uh and here we go this is one of the
best sellers and it was uploaded in 2022
just one month ago so just proving again
that there's money to be made
just
uploading today you know what i mean
like not not it's not always going to be
the older shirts that are dominating i
know it's easier said than done uh but
you know this is a nice little design
it's
piggybacking or capitalizing off of the
design styles that we know work really
well
uh
taking you know graduation and kind of
putting the last day of school spin on
it and you know up uploaded april 12th
and it is now may 15th and you know
selling really well it's a bestseller
all right speaking of best sellers here
are seller trends these could be
indicative of future best-selling niches
so do with it what you will brought to
us by flying research so we've got a lot
of schools out for summer
a mom of 2022 graduate dad of 2022
graduate etc
another like uterus design
it's a bad day to be a beer
you know i love that design i didn't see
that one earlier it's a bad day to be a
beer
that's good
all right looking ahead if you want to
sell shirts related to seemingly random
holidays i guess shirts or mugs i did
mention that a lot of these like kind of
random holiday related stuff i like to
list on seller central
where i don't need to make a sale in
order for the product to be listed in
amazon's catalog forever uh you know
merch by amazon if you don't make a sale
in the first 365 days well your product
is going to get automatically removed
but with seller central since these are
all kind of date related you know what i
mean they're related to specific dates
in time and i'm trying to give you
projections about a month out
but yeah if you put them on seller
central um you can make sales every
single year when these days roll around
so june 15th national prune day june
16th fresh veggies day june 17th take a
road trip day june 18th go fishing day
and june 19th
father's day so that's going to be huge
obviously we know that's coming we are
roughly a month out so
begin preparations
all right bonus shirt i really like this
design because it is a text only design
that is very well executed great color
contrast
follows all of the things that i preach
as far as what i think performs well in
terms of click-through rate in search
results so i wanted to give them a shout
out it is a last day of school shirt but
it's text only well i guess it's not
there's there's three hearts in there
okay there's three hearts but the rest
is text
but good use of like contrasting um
different fonts font families against
each other's colors everything
all right deleted designs brought to you
by merch ninja um kind of a mixed bag
here some birthday shirts it looks like
all right all right all right uh which i
don't know if that's like matthew
mcconaughey i always think of him when i
hear that couple of those we got like
three of those getting removed we've got
um
references to big movies so yeah just
always stay oh and then a milwaukee
bucks yeah definitely stay away from
infringing on electric intellectual
property of big brands because you will
be punished
