hey what's up guys welcome to top 5
niches of the week episode
112. I hope you guys are having a good
July 4th weekend uh I gotta make this a
quick episode because I gotta help get
ready we're having some people over for
a pool party so let's get right into
these niches I got five good ones number
one is uh relatively new and it's
generating a lot of sales so you're
definitely going to want to stick around
for that at a minimum so let's get
started
I'm also dog watching my parents uh
micro chihuahua so say hello to her and
if you hear her in the background
apologies like I said we'll try to get
through this one quickly all right we
have two winners to announce from last
week's print on demand giveaway I've
already emailed you so if you're one of
the winners just check your email and
you will get your prizes also we're
kicking off a new giveaway The Links at
the top of the description also down
there in the description I've got my
eight day free print on demand mini
course and I've got a great print on
demand Facebook group also yesterday
check your inbox for an email from me
it's basically I showed you how to get
140 free Etsy listings it was almost
thirty dollars worth of free listings so
definitely look out for an email from me
quick sales update so over the last
seven days I did uh 280 sales on the US
market after the 19 returns brought in
1100 in royalties and here are my
International sales as well you can see
I got an extra about 50 sales or so
when combining all the international
sales
all right Niche number one here we go I
said Niche number one was going to be a
good one and uh it definitely is
so Niche number one is vote we're
ruthless all right you guys remember
Ruth Bader Ginsburg the Supreme Court
Justice well uh the late I should say
late Ruth Bader Ginsburg she passed away
when she did the t-shirts were selling
like crazy and then there was kind of an
issue of whether or not merch was a lot
like Amazon merch was allowing us to
sell the Ruth Bader Ginsburg stuff
I don't you know what I mean I have no
say in that so I'm not even gonna try to
go there but just be careful with the
Ruth Bader Ginsburg stuff because as we
know guys like she did pass away and I
don't know you know they say human
tragedy don't make money off that they
used to explicitly state that in the
rules now I don't know if they
explicitly stated or not but definitely
be careful with uh the Ruth Bader
Ginsburg stuff but that being said there
are people in this Niche making a
boatload of money all right BSR is 14
000 15 000 20 000 26 000 32 000 all
right so there's just a lot of sales
taking place in this Niche also none of
them have reviews so this is very new
all right so and as uh Niche number two
as you would expect so if there's a kind
of a new Ruth Bader Ginsburg sub Niche
going on
well Ruth Bader Ginsburg in general then
all those old shirts they too are
popping back up of course you do want to
be very strategic about your
choice of keywords
um you know what I mean I have that
video that I always Link in the
description called is this Niche safe
that is your best bet so I don't have to
recap right now everything that I say in
that video I always Point people to that
video because it goes in depth in kind
of explaining how to protect yourself
all right uh so just be careful again
keywords right it's it's not that oh I
did a Ruth Bader Ginsburg shirt and I
got rejected no no the AI is not on that
level the AI is checking for specific
keywords that it considers trigger words
and if it decides like you typed a
trigger word in well then it can reject
the whole listing all right
so Niche number two is just every other
Ruth Bader Ginsburg shirt all right the
first one was the uh vote we're ruthless
okay
and that's probably a play on the fact
that she passed away of course but you
know
um and then then he gets into the debate
of like is this okay is it not okay well
you know it's your account guys No One's
Gonna protect it more and look out for
it more than you are okay Niche number
two though is every other Ruth Bader
Ginsburg niche
Niche number three is pro row so Ruth
Bader Ginsburg being relevant because
she served on the Supreme Court Supreme
Court's recent role in overturning uh
Roe v Wade and you know those shirts
everything in this this uh Niche if you
will uh is selling really well still so
15 000 BSR sixteen thousand eighteen
thousand twenty thousand twenty five
thousand pro row and you know everything
that comes with that selling quite well
right now okay and I I mean it's more
than just pro row you know there's many
sub niches here still generating a ton
of sales so we talked all about that
last week because that was basically the
niche to be in as of seven days ago I
got quite a few sales on my new Etsy
shop just being in this Niche so
hopefully everybody here made at least a
few sales
all right and Niche number four and by
the way yes she is still sleeping in my
arm
a little very tiny microchi probably
like four and a half pounds
all right Niche number four is baseball
and you're probably like Ryan why
baseball why is baseball trending what's
new about baseball nothing's new uh
here's the thing the NHL playoffs
wrapped up
the NBA Playoffs wrapped up
and
you know I'm like tempted to make jokes
about baseball like I'll be honest I
just I never really was really into
baseball you know what I mean it doesn't
really entertain me the thought of
watching a game on TV I I'm just gonna
fall asleep right I'll go to a game in
real life every now and then
but that's different you know what I
mean we go we have a couple beers we
have some fun with friends and family
and whatever but baseball is basically
the only
big sport I don't know I keep thinking
of like funny things to say but I'm not
gonna say it all right I'm not gonna
make fun of sports
in general that aren't football but to
me personally like all I care about is
the NFL so I get it baseball is like the
sport that's on right now all right
baseball is it so it doesn't surprise me
to see baseball is trending at least
with t-shirts
um and this was also a little bit of a
reach you know what I mean like way more
sales are taking place in the
aforementioned niches one through three
but I did want to put it out there that
you know there's some logic behind
baseball shirts
being like popular right now because
that's what you're going to see if you
just want to turn on the TV put on
SportsCenter put on Sports in general
um last night there was a UFC man I was
so disappointed by last night's UFC I
was up till like 1 30 in the morning
watching it and yeah it was just just
boring I don't know how else to put it
anybody else watch UFC let me know in
the comments below all right Niche
number five
and this is oh Ryan what is this we
didn't see this one coming everybody
that stayed till Niche number five here
is your little bonus so August I'm
thinking one month out August is back to
school now I know anybody that's young
that's still in school that just heard
that probably does not want to hear it
right now but and you're probably not
even watching this you're probably
enjoying your summer which is all good
do that while you can but back to school
is in August guys and hey it's never too
early to get a head start you know what
I mean like there are the same kind of
niches or sub Trends whatever you want
to call them that kind of do well themes
that do well year over year over year
we do kind of theorize that the Amazon
algorithm does tend to give new
submissions a chance so this is your
time to get a head start maybe run some
ads train the algorithm ahead of the big
spike in organic sales that you have you
know a 2022 back to school best-selling
shirt you know what I mean that that
could be you when these are like BSR 10
000 in a month and a half that could be
you uploading right now or starting to
plan right now you know what I mean it's
typically not people who say oh back to
school uh let me throw up a shirt
tomorrow and then three days later I'm
you know at a 10 000 BSR in a top seller
on merch like that that typically
doesn't happen
all right seller Trends brought to you
by flying research so here we go a lot
of the uh well pretty much almost
exclusively you know related to the Roe
v Wade uh supreme court stuff I got some
July 4th-esque you know USA got the bald
eagle and got the baseball slash July
4th cross Niche there
all right looking ahead if you want to
sell shirts related to seemingly random
holidays August 3rd we're already
looking at August guys because it is
July time is flying happy fourth by the
way August 3rd National watermelon day
August 5th International Beer day
August 6th International hangover day
kind of makes sense there maybe do a uh
uh double pairing if you're selling on
Etsy sell August 5th and August 6th
bundle the International Beer day and
international hangover day bundle
uh August 7th Friendship Day August 8th
International Cat Day
all right bonus shirt now I could have
done a couple bonus shirts there were
some designs that I really liked like
there was multiple
but this one I just wanted to like you
know how we always or I always joke you
can cross Niche anything with dinosaurs
and americasaurus Rex is one of the like
funniest most ridiculous examples of
that being true America Soros wrecks all
right yeah we're going there all right
we got the red white and blue dinosaur
with the shades on and his American Flag
America source Rex gotta love it
deleted designs uh this time brought to
you by podcs I did a video on them
earlier in the week or was that last
week everything's blurring together
sometimes but that's what happens when
you stay up till 1 30 watching UFC and
it's boring uh but POC podc has checked
them out I did a nice video review and
they are currently still free to use so
definitely show them some love they have
the removed designs feature so I grabbed
some recently removed designs they even
tracked the date that it was removed
um so yeah so here we go take a take a
mental note if you want to if you're in
any of these niches maybe think twice
all right as we wrap this video up guys
