print on demand facebook group if you
guys would like to join i'd love to have
you there all right let's get into these
top five niches of the week and niche
number one
really caught me off guard i'm like i
don't know why this is trending the way
that it is right now but it's probably
at like peak trend
uh currently and that is retirement
shirts now of course i know retirement
shirts right it's very high level very
generic it's something that we can bank
on being a trend year over year and
people i mean i don't think i've really
retired from anything yet i kind of
retired from my day job if you want to
look at it that way but um i don't think
it had anything to do with the time of
the year but a lot of people are
purchasing retired 2022 shirts right now
like at a higher clip than normal so
this is a good time to get into the
retirement t-shirt game and maybe look
into uh cross niching with maybe like
retired april 2022 right we're about to
go into the month of april so maybe it's
retired april 2022 instead of just
another generic retired 2022 shirt right
um there's lots of sub niches retired
worked my whole life for this shirt
retired not my problem anymore the
legend has officially retired if you
want to talk you'll be charged a
consulting fee
there's a lot does this shirt make me
look
does this shirt make me look retired i
mean there's a bunch of shirts so lots
of um sub niches going on there and
they're just selling really well right
now so they had to be niche number one
this is one of the best sellers current
bsr floating around 20 000.
all right niche number two
and autism awareness month kicks off on
saturday april 2nd and
before we even get into the
autism-related t-shirts i just want to
plug my video called is this niche safe
because i know that some of these autism
shirts there's kind of like landmines as
far as maybe what keywords you can
actually target and even design styles
like a lot of times those ribbons can be
uh trademarked so i'm not trying to tell
you what isn't isn't you're the only
person that's gonna look out for your
account health and your account safety
so my video is this niche safe is my
best practices that i personally use
because it's one thing to say oh i
should be allowed to it doesn't matter
sometimes the algorithm is not going to
let you even if you should be allowed to
so keep your account safe but autism
awareness guys there's a lot a lot a lot
of ways you can kind of get into this
niche and sell shirts related to autism
awareness month you'll notice there's a
heavy theme
about wearing blue so that's the color
associated with autism awareness month
in april
the best-selling shirt current bsr 17
000 and we're not even in april yet so
this is going to be
you know a recurring best seller year
over year over year just be careful do
your research keep your account safe if
you don't know what i mean when i say do
your research please watch my video
called is this niche safe it is linked
in the description
all right niche number three
and guys opening day for baseball's
coming back does that mean we should
sell mlb shirts oh no uh don't let me up
in the comments i'm not saying infringe
on mlb intellectual property i'm saying
guys just like we always
say
if it's out of sight it's out of mind
right so are we selling you know i don't
know winter olympic shirts right now not
that you should be selling olympic
shirts but you get what i'm saying right
like we're not we're not in the winter
olympics so should we sell winter
olympics like no probably not right
because no one's thinking about it so if
you're not thinking about it are you
buying it no
but with opening day and baseball
kicking off a bunch of people are
thinking about the sport of baseball and
just because there's a professional
baseball league called mlb doesn't mean
that no one can ever sell a baseball
shirt ever again now there's definitely
some shirts up here
that i think are flying a little too
close to the sun like i wouldn't be
caught dead selling this like boston one
like i don't think like it's safe
anymore to sell location plus sport
shirts that was okay for a long period
of time and then whoever is responsible
for making these decisions at amazon
said you know what no more right and so
we've seen
other sports like football basketball
taking the shirts down that are location
plus sport so i would probably just be
doing like more generic baseball shirts
we know that that's about to be like you
know all over you i don't know how many
i don't want to joke too much and poke
fun at people that like baseball like
i'm not a baseball fan um i'll go to a
game in person but like you'll never
catch me watching baseball on tv like i
literally will only watch the world
series that's it um
sorry i just i just think it's boring
but hey that's just me um shout out to
the washington nationals by the way when
they won a couple years back that was
pretty awesome anyways guys baseball
shirts are trending and uh there's lots
of niches just be extremely careful
don't try to like do not at all
whatsoever try to like sell any shirts
related to
any of the um you know well i mean it's
not just the mlb like there's also minor
league teams too that you don't want to
infringe on but don't infringe on
anybody's like baseball team that's
silly and it's you know going to get you
in trouble
current best selling bsr though right
around 30 000 and it says my heart is on
that field and that's just you know one
of the many sub-niches of baseball
as far as t-shirts go all right niche
number four
and this shirt um seems to be like a
relatively new thing i don't know the
origin of it it says gaslighting is not
real you're just crazy which i think is
an oxymoron
because they're gaslighting you if you
say that obviously gaslighting is real
guys dude i wanna say do your research
but the people that fall for gaslighting
like they're gonna like go to google and
click the first fact check link and um
those are called protective opinions
guys like they're not real fact checks
there's a lot of research to do if you
don't really know exactly what's going
on in the world today but um yeah
anyways that's that's off topic guys and
i apologize i don't want to get into
that stuff but gaslighting is not real
you're just crazy that's the niche it's
a t-shirt
i don't know uh do with that what you
will if you want to sell it uh the bsrs
are doing pretty well i don't know if
this is something that's going to see an
improvement in demand because it looks
like a relatively new niche like look
they don't even have reviews there's one
shirt with the review the rest have no
reviews so it's very new make sure it's
not trademarked i probably should have
looked before i suggested it but i i
mean i highly doubt it's trademarked
since these look to be extremely new uh
so yeah so niche number four by the way
shout out to pretty merch pro plus guys
i use them for the research for these
videos that one click away you can just
click trademark and uh you can do your
trademark validation and they've got the
best trademark validation tool that i've
seen across the board easily
okay and uh so you're literally one
click away the same way you're one click
away from research you're one click away
from trademark validation so they're
making it like very easy very efficient
to do all the things we do when we're
researching what designs to post to our
print on demand accounts
so best selling bsr here 53 000
on this t-shirt right here and who knows
i'm thinking this may continue to see an
increase in sales actually i mean from
this screenshot which is more up to date
looks like it's already dropped to 44
000.
so that's that's like multiple sales
daily that's what we're after here
all right niche number five
and this is
kitanji brown jackson kitanji
kitanji brown jackson sorry i'm not
trying to say the name wrong i just it's
a ketanji i've never said that word
before or name um but this is i guess
somebody running for the supreme court
and um
i it looks like we're allowed to sell
them uh i always get caught up in the
what's allowed what's not allowed i know
you guys come to my channel and look to
me for all the answers like i don't want
to pretend to have all the answers like
i'm not a lawyer right i have two
lawyers in my family but to my knowledge
like
the the rule is if they're a um public
figure right but like wouldn't it be
that she's a public figure when she
makes it on the supreme court and like i
don't watch the news or anything like
that but isn't she like not officially
on it yet so technically this could get
you in trouble but at the same time
there's the legality side of things and
then there's what matters most which is
just like what the amazon algorithm
allows because like i said earlier
sometimes you are okay to sell something
the algorithm still says no you can't
sell that and then you get in trouble
for attempting to sell something that in
theory you should have been able to sell
but the algorithm said no and that's all
that matters the algorithm is number one
prioritize the algorithm above
everything else because if it says no
that's a no right and if it says yes in
this case
it's like a soft yes right because then
there could still be the other side
which is well are we supposed to be
allowed to sell this um and correct me
if i'm wrong in the comments guys like
hey i'm trying to be transparent here
like i'm a talking head on youtube i'm a
normal human like everybody else uh but
you know like will i be selling this
shirt no but you guys already know like
i'm in tier 200 000. i don't need to be
trend chasing if you're in like the
lower tiers of amazon merch or if you're
just literally like yeah you're active
every day and you want to chase these
trends because there tends to be like
these trends are exactly what they sound
like they're trends these are where the
majority of sales are going to be in the
near future so if you're hungry for
those sales like this is a good way to
get there right like you didn't
hopefully wait for me to put this niche
on top five niches of the week because
hey you could have seen this coming
right like this has been around for a
couple days at least like again i don't
follow the news that closely but i know
i've you know seen this um
seen the name around or whatever seen it
around
all right and uh so here we go 178 000
bsr and i think the bsrs have already
dropped yeah so this one right right
here um
when you click the advanced view in
pretty much pro plus it looks like it's
a little bit delayed in updating whereas
if you just look at the full product
results um you can see here like 69 000
bsr so like these are definitely uh
trending in that sense like they're
they're continuing to improve and i mean
this is a this is what a true like
emerging trend looks like just like um
the previous gaslighting shirt one
product had one review check out these
bestsellers behind me only one of them
has a review so like this is opportunity
knocking basically
all right all right let's look at seller
trends these are emerging trends guys uh
shirts that have seen a significant jump
in bsr recently so some um ukraine
themed some
uh easter bunnies
some autism shirts and some retired
shirts so basically we're just on brand
looking ahead if you want to sell
products related to seemingly random
holidays we have april 27th so we're a
month out now so you can prep
accordingly april 27th is administrative
professionals day and from the time i
spent in a day job i think i worked like
a day job for eight years um i know that
they definitely show love to the
administrative professionals so shout
out to everybody that is one um they
definitely make like you know the work
atmosphere a better place so definitely
like that's that's a right here
administrative professionals day that's
one where like i know some money is
spent you know what i mean to like take
care of them so and they deserve it uh
april 28th international astronomy day
april 29th arbor day planted tree april
29th is also international dance day and
april 30th international jazz day so
shout out to the uh the dancers the jazz
musicians the people planting trees and
the people into astronomy
all right bonus t-shirt just a shirt
that i liked while i was doing my
research so
i say all the time that i sell shirts
that are just like big text
one word ryan where'd you research it i
don't have to research it it's just a
word right sometimes i just like
something pops into my head go into i
use photoshop typically for designing
type the word pick a good font sell it
like somebody here wrote out the word
beef in a good font made it really big
right i don't think it's coincidence
that the one that makes it really big is
the one that ends up being the best
seller
sells it for 14.99 a competitive price
point
has 11 reviews that means they're making
regular sales i mean it implies at least
i mean who knows we can look up when
they initially posted it but 11 ratings
means that they've probably sold at
least like 50 of these
minimum like that would be a huge review
rate they probably sold 100. um so yeah
guys like it's actually they probably
posted it a year a few years back
because they only have five colors
selected
and so that implies it was probably
posted you know
between 2017 and 2019 right before we
could enable 10 colors i think that was
2019. anyways the beef shirt i just want
to show you guys that like this can
really work just it doesn't have to be
some crazy complicated super in-depth
research gotta get the best graphics and
make curved text like you can also just
do simple simple simple and if you're
making bad designs and i know it's
subjective
if you're making bad designs
just do simple text only designs it's
better than a bad design because the bad
designs tend not to sell
all right that's that's the point i was
trying to make i know nobody does bad
designs right we all make great designs
but not not all group designs that we
make are great so text only is a simple
simple way of making sales all right
removed designs brought to you by merch
ninja
uh
some funny ones here um i don't know why
some of these are removed like funkle
got removed a couple times miss hubby
wifey
