what's up guys thanks for joining me for
this video today i thought we'd try
something new i'm gonna show the top
five best-selling products
in the t-shirt category the hoodie
category
the phone case category and the pop
socket category basically they are a
couple different product types that we
can sell on merch by amazon and let's
kind of evaluate how well they're
selling so i went ahead i did some
additional digging so that we can see
metrics like projected daily sales as
well as daily profit
and we can really uh kind of make some
decisions on if we should be focusing
exclusively on optimizing designs for a
specific product type that maybe we
wouldn't have considered otherwise
because i've always honestly
made the assumption that t-shirts
probably are the best sellers so let's
put that to the test let's get started
[Music]
quick reminder enter the weekly
print-on-demand giveaway two winners are
gonna be randomly selected and announced
next sunday they will receive a license
to a free license i should say two merch
titans upload automation merch ninja
research tools all sunsets premium
pre-made graphics to help you with your
designs and bubble scout the only
redbubble niche research and validation
tool you can find a link in the
description while you're down there take
advantage of my seven day merch by
amazon mini course and join my merch by
amazon facebook group probably one of
the fastest growing merch by amazon
communities that's out there
all right so let's look at the top five
t-shirts and we're gonna go one by one
and when we start with the best-selling
t-shirt as of right now
i'm gonna also
show you how much money just about
they're making each day so
if you guys caught my top five niches of
the week video on sunday we know that
dot day is selling very very well
also i'm projecting it to sell beyond
september 15th i mean it's september
13th now and people ordering these
t-shirts won't get them in by the 15th
and they're still buying them this bsr i
mean look at that it's shot up if you
see the line graph here from flying
research
that um that chart flew up to
under 5000 it looks like or under 10 000
for sure and it's just been holding
steady for about a week so whoever got
this shirt up there is crushing
and here from jungle scout this is a
amazon more or less amazon fba research
tool it's meant for fba sellers to
project uh
profitability as well as like sales
but um it works you know relatively it
works okay on uh print on demand you
know it's the most accurate research
tool out there so it's the best we can
do
so it's saying that this shirt is doing
roughly 95 sales a day at this bsr
and um well ignore average sales rank by
the way so we see the sales rank here
at about 4 390.
and jungle scouts scout is saying that
at that bsr uh it's probably doing
roughly 95 sales a day so if we already
know on merch by amazon if we price a
product at 13.99 we will make 70 cents
profit per sale so they're making about
66 dollars and 50 cents a day
on this best-selling t-shirt
now the number two bestseller is one
that is not a uh trending you know flash
in the pan style design like the one we
just looked at
this i'm not old i'm classic
design this graphic uh t-shirt and i
don't i don't know is this from
like a tv show or something or is this
legitimately an evergreen best-selling
design not attached to anything
uh that's well known other than men's
love for classic cars
um i don't know let me know if you know
in the comments below but this one is
always
sitting there amongst the best sellers
and it's got a current bsr about 8600.
number three bestseller is another dot
day make your mark see where it takes
you by the way this design is really
well executed so props to whoever did
that
celebrating dot day 2021 got a bsr of
8800 priced at 13.98 by the way the uh
i'm not old um classic shirt is priced
at 17
90. so they're making a very healthy
royalty there
uh fourth best-selling design i just
hope both teams have fun i can't
remember if this is trademarked or not
by the way me showing you these designs
is not me saying to sell them
it is me just saying hey let's evaluate
the best sellers and see if we learn
anything so this one has 8800 bsr priced
at 19.99 i know this shirt pops up every
now and then around
um sports events so maybe this is for
like the nfl kickoff that it's trending
i don't get the origin of it again it's
hard for me to know all these things but
i'm looking at the tags it says guys
ladies children i don't know why that's
in there but anyways yeah it says
football so maybe that's it
for people that don't like football i
guess that have to watch it with their
significant other maybe that's what it
is
uh but if you're gonna try to sell any
of these definitely check trademarks
because i didn't look ahead of time
on the fifth best selling t-shirt right
now make your mark see where it takes
you
uh 9500 bsr it's already got 39 reviews
whoa published oh that was published in
2018 wow so why is dat day so
significant this year
um anyways yeah we as we can see here
the bsr has been trending in the right
direction as we approach the holiday
and their price is uh 16.99 so this is
where you get into that debate should
they have dropped their price
in the 13 to 14 range and went for the
number one organic placement because
that certainly was on the table
or did they just price at 1699 lock in
better profits with a worse bsr you know
it's kind of this balancing act
all right let's look at hoodies this is
where we're really going to have the
most fun looking at the alternative
product types
all right the best-selling uh hoodie
design with a glitch in the bsr there it
looks like it went down to like 400 000
and popped right back up i'm sure that's
a glitch
uh but 6400 bsr priced at 30.99
and if we oh sorry the niche it says
literally freezing and there's no bullet
points provided so i don't know
what that's referring to i think there
was two of them that were in the best
sellers it says literally freezing
uh and this is actually sweatshirts not
hoodies okay i need to fix that for any
future videos if this is well received
i'll do them again in the future but
this is actually sweatshirts not hoodies
okay
and this one
projects 78 sales a day 78 sales a day
82 000 in revenue a month damn
um at that price 3099 they're making
4.29 profit per sale
working out to roughly 334 dollars and
62 cents a day whoa okay i've been
sleeping on sweatshirts apparently
i should be spending more time doing
these sweatshirts actually i don't know
if that's really true
are they all gonna be selling this well
let's check it out
the second best-selling sweatshirt the
bsr already jumps from this one the best
seller 6400
second best seller 38 600 okay so one of
those sweatshirts was selling
significantly better than the rest
so maybe we don't need to drop
everything and start selling sweatshirts
um this one was published about a year
ago it's 38 000 bsr priced at 31.99
third best seller says olympic national
park oh by the way if anybody's
listening to the podcast version sorry
i'm jumping around a bit apologize
the number two best selling sweatshirt
is a skeleton drinking a hot beverage
out of a coffee cup so probably coffee
and it says halloween coffee drinking
skeleton okay so it's a skeleton
halloween
sweatshirt
third best seller the niche says olympic
national park it's got a 45000 bsr
priced at
and 30.46
cents is there something cryptic about
that i feel like i'm doing a red bubble
shop review when i see these like random
price points it always reminds me of
like redbubble because redbubble's so
weird in how they do the product markup
uh next best seller is this fourth yeah
fourth best seller again says literally
freezing i while i don't understand it
exactly uh it is you know selling
extremely well so 68 000
bsr and uh 25.99 price point so they are
not making
too much money per sale and actually
this is a hoodie okay so they lumped in
so i'm using flying research when i do
this and i don't spend much time in
flying research looking at things other
than t-shirts it looks like flying
research lumps
sweatshirts together as hoodies zip
hoodies and sweatshirts so that's good
to know um this hoodie is priced at
25.99 though so very little profit in
that
per sale
and the fifth best seller here we go
washington football
and again guys i don't feel comfortable
selling any of the washington football
stuff i think there was like a big thing
where they lost their trademark i know
south park did an episode where they
basically tried to rip off the
intellectual property of the redskins am
i allowed to say redskins anymore um
that was a football team for like i
don't know like 80 years before they
rebranded recently um but anyways like
south park went in on them and now they
call themselves the football team and
there's a ton of products for sale on
amazon so i guess amazon's okay with it
maybe it's not trademarked and not
protected
should be copyrighted but anyways i
don't know i'm not a lawyer but there's
a lot of the washington football team
stuff posted every single day so it's
definitely a crowded niche uh but on the
high end if you're able to get some
sales and get some separation from the
crowd definitely some money to be made
this one has a 78 000 bsr priced at
30.99
all right let's speed up pop sockets
number one best-selling pop socket bsr
of 3100 priced at 14.99 it is a uh well
i'll read the title green botanical fern
foliage and white berry floral pattern
a lot of these bestsellers are patterns
by the way on the pop sockets according
to jungle scout this is doing roughly 43
sales a day so at a 14.99 price point
um you're making about two dollars 25
cents per sale so they're doing about
96.75
profit a day not bad at all for a pop
socket especially
um the next bestseller is the pine tree
mountain scene
teal forest pattern and that is a pop
socket again i actually think this
design is really nice
i love the like tiered different colored
uh structure of those trees it reminds
me of when i was in colorado with
marielle a couple months ago it was
beautiful
this has a 6300 bsr priced at 12.99 so
they're not making too much profit
number three popsocket black cat hiding
in spring flowers
bsr 5800 price point 14.99
number four i don't know why i keep
forgetting the number number four is
modern florals on gray
pacj0194 popsocket okay if that means
anything to you it means nothing to me
pacj0194
basically it looks like some like 60s
retro color scheme
a flower child type design pattern
design on a pop socket
i'm wondering if these people are
advertising because these pop sockets
are so easy to make like that design
that you see here super easy most of
these are super easy
um i think one of them it's a phone case
actually that i saw
was from vexels you know so i wonder if
people are advertising to get the
initial traction and then just kind of
let the organic sales take over
anyways this one bsr 5900
price point eight dollars ninety one
cents so i didn't even know you could
price them that low
is that a non-amazon merch popsocket
maybe or did someone add an offer i
don't know that's weird
and number five
elegant leopard print black animal print
is the pop socket name
uh i thought some of those keywords
would get you in trouble but maybe not i
don't know uh the leopard print thing
i'm always like i know a lot of those
show up in the weekly um removed designs
so i'm always
i don't feel comfortable doing the
leopard print stuff myself
but i'm also trying to protect my
account into your 200 000 i mean you
know i just feel like i have a little
bit more to lose than like a smaller
account that gets closed anyways bsr
6000 price point 14.99
all right and let's wrap it up with
phone cases so from what we've seen so
far
if we could realistically project
getting into the top five of selling
these products sure we should make more
of a focal point on optimizing designs
to be uploaded to those products
specifically on merch by amazon so far
nothing's really blown me away we've
seen kind of a drop off in bsr
especially in like the sweatshirts and
hoodies like right after the number one
we dropped into like the 30 thousands so
let's look at phone cases
so the number one best-selling phone
case looks very similar to that number
five best-selling pop socket it's that
black leopard print this has a bsr of
19100 price point 18.99
according to jungle scout uh at this bsr
doing roughly six sales a day
and making three dollars fifty nine
cents per sale according to using merch
by amazon and actually typing in the
price point and looking so they're
making roughly twenty one dollars and
fifty cents profit a day
now that's not blowing anybody away
that's not making anybody rich but look
how easy this was to make i mean that
design is super simple
so
yeah don't be deterred from selling
phone cases but also you know a pattern
like that is not going to look good on
the other merch products outside of like
a pop socket so
maybe maybe they're making maybe it is
the same seller and they're making sales
of both pop sockets and phone cases to
the same customers that would actually
make a lot of sense and it would show up
um if you enabled the same products in
the same listing it could show up as
like frequently bought together so
or no we would say more products with
this design sorry but you could also get
the more the frequently bought together
as well if customers actually do buy
them together
number two best selling phone case we
have a
autumn falling leaves pumpkin spice
harvest happy fall so a big fall themed
phone case anybody that loves fall maybe
they want to go grab a phone case for
their brand new phone makes a lot of
sense
10 500 bsr 1799 price point
number three phone
uh it is a black and orange plaid case
halloween fall autumn pumpkins case so
plaid
case
themed for fall it doesn't have any
pumpkins or anything on it uh bsr 10500
price point 17.99
number
three or four i always get them confused
all right number four this is a autumn
falling leaves and pumpkin spice harvest
phone case bsr 14600 price point
and number five rounding out the theme
with another fall themed phone case
uh this is a vintage witchy magical
spiritual crystals for halloween 2021
case
so if there's one thing we took away for
sure it's that you should be selling
your fall oriented autumn
halloween themed phone cases at a
minimum now i'm going to venture a guess
if people are buying phone cases they're
going to buy a pop socket to go with it
i still have my uh pop socket from like
my
what is like a phone case review from
guten and then i bought the pop socket
when i was reviewing every amazon merch
product so i still got it honestly these
things are fun to play with and they're
useful for propping your phone up so by
the way that graphic is from all sunsets
shout out to them
but yeah guys i mean if you've never
used a pop socket check it out uh it
makes sense why they sell so well
but that's pretty much it bsr 25000
price point 19.99
takeaways from this video i'm not really
sure nothing's really got me feeling
compelled to want to spend time
optimizing designs for a single product
type we know that these patterns look
great on phone cases and pop sockets but
they don't really translate into hoodies
or t-shirts or anything else so it is
kind of a toss-up between
do you want to just do patterns or and
by the way this pattern looks like it's
from vexels i don't know for sure but it
certainly looks like the style that
you'd find on vexels so um by the way
i'll put a link to vexils and uh all
sunsets in case you guys don't know what
those are basically if you're not a good
graphic designer you can go there pay
them some money and they're professional
graphic designers will allow you to use
their graphics basically you can have
the licenses to them
so that's basically it guys thank you
for watching before i leave i did want
to remind you i wrote a full merch by
amazon course walking you through how i
took my account from tier 10 to tier 200
000. if you want to learn more about
