In this video I'll teach you different ways you can use to
come up with different t-shirt ideas. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video my name is Juna with Detour Shirts the channel all about
helping you design and sell t-shirts online. If that's something you like to do don't forget to
hit that subscribe button. So in my facebook group I did a poll to figure out what video I
should do next and this is the poll here it says what is your biggest struggle with print on demand
the thing you need most help with so you can see here 68 votes said coming up with ideas
so i thought it would be a good idea to come up with a video to help you with ideas i feel like
that can be a roadblock to a lot of people is coming up with ideas i think one reason behind
that is there's so many different choices you can make so many different t-shirts that you can make
just having all those choices may actually hinder you in figuring out what idea you should really do
right so i'm going to show you some quick tips on how to do that how to find different ideas how to
come up with your own original idea and what to do with that so i did another facebook poll
in my group and i tried to figure out what niche what big niche i could start with uh what big
niche that people would want to do and here's the poll here out of the these choices i did summer
outdoors father's day fourth of july and summer was the biggest by far 98 votes here on this
poll so i'm gonna pick a summer t-shirt design and show you how to come up with a summer t-shirt idea
and hopefully this is really helpful for you so you're going to want to stay to the end of
this video to see all the tips as well as a design that i made for one of the tips here
and i also have another edition of trend credits so lots to see in this video let's get started now
so i just came to amazon and i typed in summer shirts for women since we're
doing this summer niche so let's take a look at these you'll notice these are not the graphic
t-shirt that we're talking about these are just summer shirts to wear for summer of course amazon
sells these kinds of shirts too so to kind of niche down i'm going to type in summer graphic
shirts or graphic tees and not for women we're just gonna look for everyone some are graphic
t-shirts it says women there but i'm not gonna do women i'm just gonna do this so these are
summer graphic shirts now and you can see this is more like it has words it has pictures right
and so i'm just gonna look and see kind of get an idea of what i could do to niche down from
summer because you saw in summer still had 50 000 results right we're going to want to niche down
we don't want to just say summer on our shirt we want to say something else so
let's get some ideas here it says teach love inspire got a pineapple here not today
let's see bring on the sunshine let's look some more neverland we got to mario we don't want
to do those love shut up liver you're fine see hello hello and we just look at different things
not a lot of um text ones let's just do this the word sunshine so i'm gonna do just sunshine
summer sunshine shirts so you see how i'm niching down all right so 3000 results now so a lot less
so let's see what kind of sunshine ones we have sunshine vibes hello sunshine sunshine and coffee
here comes sunshine sunshine on the mind these are all good ideas we're just gonna pick one and see
um bring on the sunshine again that was a good one sunshine and coffee let's see
sunshine and coffee just to look at the results right sunshine and coffee it comes up as tank
top so you know people are looking for that one i'm just going to type in t-shirt though i don't
want to necessarily do tank top although we can sell tank tops on merch by amazon
so a lot lower than 3000 now 752 let's take a look at the bsrs some pretty low bsrs uh
sunshine and coffee sunshine and coffee that one's not that low but that one is sunshine
and coffee pretty not too bad so this could be something you know around this this could be a
trend you could do this one sunshine and coffee let's try something else in sunshine let's try
beer and sunshine let's see if that's it
so here's beer and sunshine 300 results they got low bsrs too so you know you
can put something with sunshine think think of other things that you can put with sunshine um
one thing you want to do though is if you're going to do this beers and sunshine you want to check
uspto and trademarks and things like that so let me just go into google and do beers and sunshine
and it is a song so i would stay away from this one beers and sunshine that's probably why this
was so popular uh just just stay away from song and song lyrics so i would take that off the
list but if you want to do um let's see uspto and you can have this bookmark but i'm going to
show you how to do it uspto click here and click here and basic word search uh what did we have
before beers and sunshine it was sunshine and coffee so let's see if sunshine and coffee is
so they're all dead they're not live so you could do that sunshine and coffee if you want to
do that but if you want to think of your own thing so this is how you generate ideas sunshine
and blank what else could you do right so first you could do uh you know rhyming words
sunshine and what rhymes with sunshine so let's see
you can type in here what rhymes with sunshine i think you can just do this rhyme zone here
so lots of words rhyme with sunshine here's just one place the rhyme zone i mean sign
and sunshine work so what about peace sign and sunshine right that could work you could do
airline and sunshine you could do blush wine and sunshine right you got lots of things so come here
do some rhyming words see what works well for you um that's one way you could do sunshine and
you know wine or sunshine and peace sign or things like that so rhyming is a good one alliteration
is another good one so so alliteration is just using kind of the same sound so usually it starts
with the same letter so one thing i could think of maybe um you know things that start with s
because s sunshine su so let's do like foods right um foods that begin with s foods that begin with s
sashimi and sunshine salad and sunshine salami and sunshine
i'm gonna i think i wanna do sushi and sunshine so let's see so let's come out
let's say we did that idea sushi and sunshine let's check you uspto for sushi and sunshine
um this doesn't say sushi and sunshine and it's not a t-shirt
and it's dead so it's not trademarked uh if we go to google and do sushi and sunshine
it doesn't pull up as a song lyric or anything if we do images um it doesn't pull up as a
t-shirt i mean there's maybe there's probably some t-shirts on there let's look at amazon
uh sushi and sunshine
just a girl who loves sushi sunshine and sushi but very low results and these aren't getting many uh
that one got some low bsr so it's not trending uh so you're not really like i mean there is this one
and this one but it's not like a trend that people are jumping on but let's look at something google
trends if you guys haven't used google trends so i'm in google trends i'm going to type in sushi
and you'll notice sushi kind of goes up right now so this is may
we we're here at 73 and now it's at 98 so it's kind of trending up sushi i guess more people
are eating sushi as it gets closer and closer to summer we can see in the past let's see past uh
five years it kind of it kind of is trending up so sushi might be a good
good one to add with sunshine we know sunshine is trending when we do the summer shirts sushi is
maybe by combining those two people who love sushi who wants sunshine so let's do it let's go to
affinity designer i'll open up affinity designer mock something up and show you what i came up
with for sushi and sunshine all right so here we are an affinity designer here's my idea for
sushi and sunshine you can see i used that same vintage sunset thing that we did and a couple of
videos back and then i just added some palm trees and some birds just to give it that summer feel
and then i use this sushi and up here just and that round thing these are all things that i teach
in my youtube videos right and then use a cursive font you know an underline and that's it so really
simple i'm using a black background because i'm just going to put it on some dark t-shirts
black sells the best and we're going to see if this can start trending so we did the research
on google trends sushi is kind of trending upwards and we saw sunshine and this is using alliteration
sushi and sunshine right sns so it gives us a good chance it's not a guarantee that this will sell
but this is kind of starting its own niche you did see one or two in there sometimes that happens
other people get the same idea and that's fine we are kind of taking a chance this is not proven to
be trending um but we're gonna see if we can do this with this design and see if just by it being
summer and sushi does it give us a good chance so that's what we're gonna try here that's one way to
kind of be original and and do your own thing you could do another word here instead of sushi
you could do salami and sunshine or you know like we said peace sign and sunshine whatever you want
to do that could be something original just do the research and see if you know if people are looking
for those kinds of things you can use google trends to see if it's a word that's trending or
a topic is trending and kind of mash those two together that's one way to do that so
those are some ideas for you on how to come up with different ideas for t-shirts
first of all just start really broad with the subject kind of niche down and then figure out
what you can do in that niche that's not like this doesn't actually say summer t-shirt but it
is a summer design right because you can see the vintage sunset the palm trees it says sunshine
all those things so this is kind of a niche down version of a summer design so hopefully that was
really helpful for you let me know in the comments if it was and we'll see if this is trending you
can do your own version of sushi and sunshine and we'll see together if if we can get it to
to trend on redbubble and and merch by amazon so i'm gonna upload my version onto merch by amazon
on redbubble you can do your own version of this and let's see if uh sunshine and and doing this
will will help thanks so much for watching this video hopefully it was really helpful for you
let me know in the comments uh your ideas on this if you liked it i read all my comments
and make sure that i respond so leave a comment in the in the comment section
and your reward for staying all the way to the end is another edition of trend credits
Thanks for staying for the trend credit here is your trend. Camper Queen. I wanted to do another
summer inspired t-shirt design or trend. People love to go camping during the summer. People love
to use their campers and so this is camper queen. Let's take a look only 730 results
and so you can see very low bsr so if you want to do some kind of camper queen camper designs those
are doing really well you can see queen of the camper they're not all saying the exact same thing
so this one says camper queen classy and sassy this one's camper queen by itself this one says
queen of the camper so lots of different ways to do that you can see here also getting some
low bsrs here let's check Merch Informer if I type in camper queen it's getting an A so you
know it's good. If you don't have Merch Informer I have a link in the description for Merch Informer
you can use that to get Merch Informer and check you know trademarks and uh competition and all
those things so let's go back to the the trend again here camper queen so many different ways
to do this so this one's uh a t-shirt for women so make sure you design it for that queen of the
camper that kind of thing and you could even do uh king of the camper camper king and and things
like that have his and hers lots of different ways to do this you don't actually have to use the same
words here it just has to revolve around camper queen and i think you will rank up here so there
are lots of different ways that you can niche down for summer this is just another way to do
camper stuff outdoor stuff uh look into different words there so
that is your trend for this video camper queen so that is it for this video thanks so much for
watching hopefully it was really helpful for you uh if you want me to niche down some other topics
let me know that in the comments as well uh i can do this again for for different topics if you want
but i think this kind of helped you realize that you can start with a broad topic kind of niche
down and then use some of those techniques like rhyming and alliteration to kind of
make your own phrase make your own thing come up with something original and then design something
original as well so all those things all those techniques can help you get some sales and be
