In this video I'm going to talk about five t-shirt niches that you should be working on
in December so that you can start getting some sales. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video. My name is Juna with Detour Shirts. I've been designing
and selling t-shirts online since 2005 and my channel is all about helping you to learn how
to design and sell t-shirts online. If that's something you want to learn how to do, don't
forget to hit that subscribe button. So in this video I'm doing it again, I'm going to tell you
about five niches that you should be working on in December. And this is every December,
so this will work year after year. And i'm doing these videos every month. By the end of next month
we're going to have all 12 of them and I'll put together a big list so you can look through all
my months and use this for next year in the years to come. So every month you're
going to want to design two months ahead so in this month or in December you want to design
t-shirts for January and February. So that's what I'm going to cover
this month. I already talked about what you should be doing for January in my last video
but i have some other January ones and more. And there's a lot of February ones in this video,
so stay tuned to this one. You're gonna want to stay to the end so you can see all five. I'm also
gonna throw in a bonus niche like I do all the time. These are gonna be really broad niches
so you're gonna have to niche down. I'm not going to tell you exactly what phrase to use.
I'm just going to tell you the big overall niche and you're going to have to find a way to niche
down and find something that people actually want to buy inside of that niche. So let's get
started. There's lots of good stuff in this video I'm going to get started with niche number one.
So niche number one has to do with new year's resolutions so many people do new year's
resolutions you can see here i just typed in google new year's resolutions 2022 here's a bunch
of things that people love to do every year for resolutions so i'm gonna say let's capitalize on
that and do motivational t-shirts or inspirational t-shirts just take a look at this motivational
t-shirts on amazon let's look at those bsrs you can see pretty low bsrs right now right
a lot of them right here are great for presents christmas presents too for people that love
that kind of stuff but uh you know just make sure these phrases are not trademarked i'm
not telling you to do exactly these phrases or to you know do star wars they're away from star wars
stay away from things that are trademarked and copyrighted but you know you can do some things
like believe in yourself look at that pretty low bsr inspirational t-shirts are a good one too
you can see right here inspirational t-shirts on amazon let's take a look at some bsr super
low bsrs right so be kind keep swimming be the reason someone smiles look at that low bsrs right
so think about that when you're doing uh your new year's resolution kind of t-shirt designs
think about motivational quotes inspirational quotes those kinds of things that get people
motivated to do goals to get people to do their resolutions so that is niche number one big
niche number one and that is motivational t-shirts or inspirational t-shirts but
i'm just gonna label it as motivational t-shirts so you know what i'm talking about
so for niche number two i'm gonna talk about a hundred days of school so i googled this when is
a hundred days of school for 2022 now it depends on your school and when you started but it's
somewhere between february 1 and february 28 and this happens every year year after year so this is
a good one to know what to do to design here let's check on amazon 100 days of school t-shirts take
a look at these these have some low bsrs already and we're not even into that february month where
it's 100 days of school you're gonna see a lot of these bsrs are going to go down really quick
as we get closer and people are buying it i'm sure people are waiting until after
the christmas time to buy these because this really isn't a christmas design t-shirt this
is more for school so you can see there's lots of different ways to do this right different phrases
so happy 100th day of school 100 days y'all my teachers survive 100 days of me you can see
different phrases think of something that's not already there put a little spin on it for this
new year for 2022. don't put 2022 in here because you're going to want to sell it year after year
but you can put a different spin on it maybe do a different colors do different you know just
something a little different than that's already out here because if you're just copying this
this one's going to sell because it has the lower bsr right so you're going to have to think
get creative and do something different that's not already here so like this one
100 days of cray-cray right there's not a lot of things on here that say cray cray
so this one's standing out not only does it have the ad but the phrase is different so
think of something different that's not already done that you know a teacher would
want to wear a student will want to wear that's your target audience for this one so
but take a look at these you know get some ideas you got monster trucks you get gamers you got
lots of school kinds of things like pencils and just handwritten fonts the colors right nice and
bright you can see a lot of these are on black as well so think about that when you're doing yours
lots of different ways to do this like i said so get creative have fun with this this is your
niche number two to design in december and this is for february but it is a hundred days of school
so for niche number three i'm going to talk about chinese new year 2022 so when is chinese new year
it is february 1st this year or next year 2022 and it is the year of the tiger so that's a
really cool one people love tigers anyway i think tiger t-shirts are gonna go on the rise in 2022
so i'm gonna type in an amazon year of the tiger t-shirts and take a look at these a lot of these
have just a nice tiger it could be a cute tiger it could be you know more asian inspired chinese
inspired tiger like this or you just cute like that so lots of different ways to draw your tigers
it doesn't even have to say year of right this is just a big face of a tiger when people are looking
for year of the tiger they might find this and like hey i just want that right so look at this
doesn't say year of the tiger this just has a symbol on it so lots of different ways to do
this i think this one's really cool if you can incorporate some of that uh have asian inspired
you know maybe chinese characters and things like that this is really cool so really nice
lots of different ways colorful ways so like i said just look at this get inspired do something
different that's not already out there you don't want to copy exactly these you want to make sure
that it's something that people actually want to wear for chinese new year or just wear throughout
the year as people may love just having a tiger t-shirt this year right maybe they're
born in the year of the tiger and want to just have a tiger t-shirt maybe a tiger pattern in
the background would be really cool you can see this one's doing some tiger background in 2022
you know or you can have some funny uh phrases with tigers like this one easy tiger right
even though it doesn't say uh year of the tiger it's doing really well right so
look at those bsrs these bsrs are probably going to go down even further as we get
closer and closer to chinese new year but you can see just lots of different ways to do
uh tiger this one's kind of funny taking the tiger but putting a unicorn on here it's really
funny but look at the graphics on some of these so cool i love this chinese zodiac one right here so
if you are an artist or can find some really good graphics for a tiger i think you could do really
well on this one so prepare now for chinese new year's it's coming and you know you don't have
to put 20 22 on it i think kind of that holds it in there um and it makes it only good for 2022
but you could do more like this year of the tiger chinese new year and not have the year on it that
way when the year of the tiger comes again you can make another sale right so have fun with that this
is your niche number three and this is chinese new year more specifically year of the tiger
so for niche number four i want to talk about super bowl so super bowl in 2022 is february 13th
we're not sure who's going to be in the super bowl yet but it doesn't matter and you may be
thinking wait i can't do super bowl t-shirts and sell them online and you're right you can't do
super bowl t-shirts but you can do t-shirts around super bowl let me show you what i mean so just to
be safe i typed in here super bowl t-shirts now of course you can't do kansas city you can't do
super bowl shuffle but you could do stuff like this i'm just here for the commercials and wine
perfectly fine right let's see what else we got here um don't do tampa bay right you can't do that
sunday fun day if that's not a trademark phrase you could do that and you might want to check if
that is but you can see there's it doesn't talk about the teams or anything like that
i'm just here for the snacks right you go to the super bowl party for the snacks take a look at
like that's a pretty low bsr i'm sure that's going to go even further down as we get closer to the
super bowl so sundays are for football you know things like that so um game day is another one
right here if that's not trademark you might want to check that so if that's not a phrase that's
trademarked perfectly fine right game day it's not talking about a specific team so you want to stay
away from specific teams any nfl logos anything like that but football itself could be good you
could do funny football t-shirts right this is my football t-shirt very generic uh let's see what
else game day again fantasy football right uh home run this would be really funny to wear at a super
bowl party right and look at that low bsrs right and again watching football t-shirts right i'm
watching for the commercials or watching you know whatever so football watching t-shirt football
watching t-shirt look at that um those are gonna go down but they're they're kind of high but let's
look at some of these other ones watching football with my daddy really low game day like we talked
about you know football and drinking together so think of things that you can mash up together that
are not nfl teams not nfl logos not uh you know nfl at all not super bowl you can't use the word
super bowl but you could get some sales because people are looking for funny t-shirts for the
super bowl so super bowl-ish t-shirts is what i'm talking about and so you could you could
capitalize on that and sell a bunch of those kinds of things so lots of people buy t-shirts for the
super bowl and you could get some sales just by doing something more generic for the super
bowl so have fun with this one this is your niche number four and that is super bowl-ish t-shirts
so niche number five is valentine's day we can't talk about february holidays without talking
about valentine's day and valentine's day falls on february 14th every year
so you're going to want to make sure that you design for valentine's day in december
let's take a look at these right here i took valentine's day t-shirt on amazon and
you know a lot of them have to do with disney and star wars let's scroll past that
let's see star wars star wars you can see they they love they know that there's lots of sales
for valentine's day right so that's a good sign here's one here's one pretty lobius art already
and it's we're still in december right so some good ones here good ones here
another way you can do it is you know mash up some things with valentine's day so matching up this in
this case matching up video games with valentine's day uh let's see we gotta scroll past some of
these well one of the other things i can do we can do is girlfriend t-shirts so you can see here
girlfriend t-shirts really low right low bsrs probably some really good presents for valentine
are for christmas right now too but makes great t-shirts for valentine's it is a huge holiday
valentine's day is one of the bigger holidays i would say in the top five
t-shirt holidays of the year so you don't want to miss out on valentine's day let's
take a look on this one i'm single t-shirt so the singles two you can see some lower bsrs on these
and they'll get lower and lower for valentine's day so lots of different ways to spin this you
can mash up valentine's day with different things you know different animals and things like that do
girlfriend t-shirts i'm taking t-shirts i'm single t-shirts just a whole bunch just make sure that
yours is different from everyone else make sure that it's something people want to buy someone
something that a girlfriend or a boyfriend would want to wear or someone single on
valentine's day right so it can be there's a whole big different kinds of groups for
that one so have fun with this one this is your niche number five and that is valentine's day
so for your bonus niche let's do snow sports t-shirts so snow sports because we're in the
winter right now in december we're starting to get some snow in different places and people are
doing some winter sports some sports in the snow take a look at this this is funny skiing t-shirt
take a look at the low bsrs already right because now is the time that we are doing
winter sports you can see lots of skiing puns funny skiing things you got the bigfoot here
the yeti uh skiing is more important there or is important or right look how low these bsrs are
let's take a look at another one snowboarding snowboarding graphics look how low these bsrs are
right now if you're not doing any of these snow sports get on it you can see super low bsrs right
super low bsrs let's do another one snowmobiles snowmobile shirts look at that super low so
right now in december these are selling right now so you may want to do this even before
december but you know snow is going to happen january february all those different months and
probably even into march and april sometimes so these can do really well as christmas presents but
also uh during the new year too so you want to get on these these are really good so this is
your bonus niche for this video for december and and for winter as a whole and that is snow and
winter sports so here's all five niches all six niches if you count the bonus niche and these are
all of here you can just take a screenshot and see what you wanna work on in december
so we got motivational sayings right so for the resolutions new year's resolutions hundreds
days of school remember this is for teachers and students and that happens somewhere you know in
february maybe late january chinese new year it's the year of the tiger so you're going to want to
do those and chinese new years happen every year so you might want to do you know keep an eye out
the animals change every every year and there's 12 of them so every 12 years it's going to repeat so
in 12 years from next year it's going to be tiger again so keep that in mind super bowl-ish kind
of t-shirts remember you can't do super bowl you can't do nfl you can't do nfl teams but you can do
football funny football stuff i'm here for the commercials game day fantasy football those kinds
of things and valentine's day huge one of the biggest t-shirt holidays of the year so don't miss
on that one you're going to want to make a ton of different valentine's t-shirts i would say do at
at least 10 maybe more different types of valentine's t-shirts and then for your bonus
snow and winter sports so this is just for all of winter you can start doing these in november or
even earlier but don't forget about the snow and winter sports you got skiing you got snowboarding
you got snowmobiling you got all those kinds of things there's lots more so and don't forget
last time in november i talked about doing uh new year's eve stuff of course that's in you know this
late december january 1st december 31st whatever you want to do it uh 2022 t-shirts you know
working out again and martin luther king day is in january so don't forget about these that i
talked about last video do those so these are your niches that you should be working on in december
have fun with these hopefully you'll get some sales on these if you can be creative and make
sure that you're designing something different for the audience that they want to buy just don't copy
it's not about copying what's already out there it's about being original and making something
