hey guys Ryan here welcome back to the
top 5 niches of the week we're gonna be
digging into what t-shirt niches are
selling really well on Amazon because if
it's selling on Amazon the number one
ecommerce website in the world it's
probably gonna sell on any other
e-commerce marketplace print-on-demand
marketplace whatever you want to call it
whether even you know beyond t-shirts if
you want to put it on a hat do you want
to put it on a KDP notebook we're gonna
be digging into the niches that the
customers are buying so let's get right
into it actually before we start let me
introduce myself
I'm Ryan Hogue I've sold over 1.6
million dollars on Amazon to date and if
you want to follow the links in the
description I have a free
print-on-demand mini course that walks
you through how to set up the print full
Etsy integration completely free deliver
one less than a day by email got a print
on demand Facebook community I published
passive income reports each month if you
want to follow those just hit the
subscribe button and then if you want to
be notified when I drop these videos
just hit the little bell icon that pops
up and I have a full-blown
print-on-demand course it's basically a
couple different courses rolled up into
one so it's a pretty good value it'll
walk you through the step-by-step of
getting started how to sell
print-on-demand
on places like Amazon Etsy eBay and then
about five other marketplaces where I
show you how to automate uploads so you
basically can well you can literally do
it on autopilot alright let's get back
into the niches niche number one and
this probably won't come as a surprise
if you've watched last week's episode
but Father's Day shirts are selling like
crazy
and I mentioned it's probably a good
idea to not just try to attack Father's
Day shirts with you know a shirt that
says world's best dad but get a little
bit more creative and sell something
like the daddy shark do do to do to do
this has been proven to sell this was
you know basically not just daddy shark
but you know mommy shark and sister
shark and everybody this designs been
selling like crazy I personally don't
have any kids but I know that this is
like a viral hit song amongst young
children and I am from the like DC
metropolitan area and when the
Washington Nationals won the World
Series recently this was just one of
those like team memes I think it's
because one of their best players used
to walk out to the plate and
he would walk out to this song which
they'll play everybody gets their own
walk out music when you play home games
so this was a big meme people during the
World Series run were like dressed like
the Sharks in the in the crowd and yeah
it was a whole thing so I know people in
my area where I live would definitely
love this shirt and it comes as no
surprise that you know consecutive years
ranking extremely high in the father's
day niche which is selling really well
right now
all right News number two this to the
untrained eye like myself included I had
to go and click on the the link to the
Aysen the links of the listing and
figure out what the heck was going on
here but this is actually guitar chords
and they put in the listing title space
- dad so I think they got it ranked on
people buying t-shirts for dads that
liked guitar and I personally can see
why this would sell because my dad loves
guitars he owns a bunch of guitars he's
really great at playing it unfortunately
that musical ability was not passed on
to his son you know is what it is all
right nice number three oh we're getting
into politics here so those of you that
recognize what this is not just the
number forty five squared with a
American flag but Trump is the 45th
president he's running for re-election
this year and political shirts are gonna
sell like crazy this year you better
believe it regardless of what side of
the political spectrum you fall on this
should be putting this on your radar
political by the way this design
it may look hard to make but this is
really just pick a decent-looking font
do in Photoshop a clipping mask of an
American flag and then do a distressed
effect which I walk through how to do a
distressed effect in my Amazon merch
mini-course so if you want to sign up
for that again you can follow a Lincoln
I don't know if I have the link to the
mini-course in the description if I
don't it's on my website or it's on any
of my Amazon merch videos but I walk you
through basically exactly how to create
a design like this and you can do it in
two minutes
oh nice number three part two so I
didn't want to just you know put the pro
Trump shirt up there in case you guys
fall on the other end of the spectrum
and you didn't like seeing that the
pro-trump people are buying t-shirts
there is also really high ranked
t-shirts that are just anti-trump so
obviously this is kind of toeing the
line with mimicking a big brand I think
that's like laundry detergent
I forget which one exactly but it
definitely looks like it's kind of a
parody on a big brand I always get a
little sketched out about putting these
sort of designs up on Amazon merch on
other non merch plat like merch is the
most valuable print-on-demand platform
by far I mean no one's disputing that so
I don't want to lose my merch account
above all else but if I was gonna put
this on like red bubble I wouldn't be
worried I'm not worried about this
getting pulled definitely though if you
did upload this to merch like this
person did this is pulled from Amazon
rich
don't be putting like the brand name
that you did a parody of anywhere in the
listing on the brand Bullets title etc
in general probably just better to stay
away
all right niche number four this may
look familiar from my video last week my
top 5 niches of the week because it's
like right now what niches are really
selling well a lot of father's day a lot
of graduation and those are pretty much
the two predominant niches so I had to
include another graduation design in
here last week I showed the same design
except for they swapped out sister for
mother so that's another way by the hood
if you're in tier 10 you might be like I
don't know if I have the upload slots to
be doing that you know it's your call
but if you are in like tier 1000 plus
and you're taking the time to make a
nice-looking design like this go ahead
and swap the word mom out for sister you
know what I mean swap it out for father
and brother etc and I'm actually you
know very soon going to talk more about
a Chrome extension that I built with a
friend that allows you to basically
automate design creations with variable
pieces like sister and you could also
swap out class of 2020 you could make 20
20 variable sister variable and you
could download you know hundreds of
designs at a time it's just gonna do it
for you it's a Chrome extension I'm
gonna talk more about that in the near
future I'm just getting the you know
last couple pieces tidied up in each
number five out of five I survived
nursing school class of 2020 so it's
another class of 2020 graduation design
but just wanted to show that like you
can include different you can attack at
different ways like the last one was for
the sister of a graduate this one is for
somebody that survived nursing school
obviously you can swap out the nursing
with law school you know my sister
graduated law school not too long ago
and you could you know flop maybe I
don't know it wouldn't be easy to flip
the design piece there with the heart
because obviously that's tailored to
nursing but you know it's up to you how
much time you want to spend on these
designs and again your design strategy
should be tailored to your tier if we're
talking about Amazon merge and if we're
not talking about Amazon merge all the
other platforms pretty much give you 50
uploads a day so you should be thinking
like how can I get closer to 50 uploads
a day because this is undisputable
indisputable that's probably the word I
meant to say indisputable that if you
have more products or more let's say
this more designs for sale on more
products on more marketplaces you'll
make more money remember that people
have lots of different opinions about
how to attack print-on-demand but no one
will deny that selling more products in
more places will make you more money
than selling less products in less
places let's keep that in mind all right
bonus designs that I liked when I was
browsing call of daddy parenting ops I
would not upload this to my merch
account because it is way too close to
call duty but I thought it was funny and
then I did some research here Animal
Crossing is a popular game that you know
I don't actually play it but I was
watching my my friend's girl play it and
she you know loved Animal Crossing she
was explaining the game to me it remind
me of a Harvest Moon one of those older
games I guess that I used to play
growing up but anyways it wasn't
trademarked I personally would not be
uploading Animal Crossing shirts to
merch because they're automated
detection may let it through but at the
same time it's one of these things it's
kind of like a ticking time bomb you're
probably not gonna get away with it
forever so just wanted to let you know
this is selling well but you know I
don't know I wouldn't recommend
uploading this but I was just putting it
out there that it's like a popular video
game that's not trademarked for use on
t-shirts there are trademarks if you
search it there's like five or six
records that are live none of them are
protecting it for merchandise that I saw
or like for wearable apparel so anyways
and then last one I just thought this
one was funny in the graduation neasha
it says I graduated can I go back to bed
now
I mean I'd wear that if I just graduated
I thought that was
funny alright and then before I wrap up
let's take a look at some designs that
were removed from merch by Amazon so I
didn't do too much research into why
these were pulled but you know like for
instance the marijuana shirt like I you
know I don't really upload the drug
shirts
I'm just so paranoid about Amazon merch
their content policy which by the way
I'm doing an Amazon merchant mini course
it's been slow because they closed merch
for like five or six weeks but I've been
like getting back into it and then the
new video that I'll probably drop this
week this week I'm planning on reading
through some of the content policy to
get everybody acclimated to what it says
now the content policies obviously
doesn't translate directly into like
what will get pulled and what will you
know what's what's allowed what's not
allowed it's not perfect but definitely
reading through it as a good thing so
I'm gonna read through it in the next
video of my merch miniseries one shirt
that immediately stood out to me was
like the the DJ the DJ marshmallow he
wears that helmet with the X's his eyes
you know that one you should not
he's obviously extremely famous and his
apparel sells extremely well but you do
not want to be infringing on him because
I'm sure he has a team of people
defending his intellectual property
alright and then I just wanted to shout
out merchants former merchants inja and
merch Titans
as the three research tools that I use
when I'm doing my preparations to
release these top five leashes of the
week videos you can check out all three
links are in the description merchan
inch is probably my favorite out of all
three of these because while they all
pretty much do the same thing merchants
inch is definitely the fastest one and
it probably has the most robust
functionality built in it is actually a
German tool so defaults to the German
market but you can easily switch it to
search for only the US market so anyways
guys just wanted to put that out there
go ahead and support those guys if you
are looking for a research tool for your
print-on-demand niche research and
that's it guys thank you again for
watching remember if I can do it so can
you all you have to do is take action if
you haven't started your print-on-demand
business get started you can pretty much
make money without spending money how
often is that the case right
print-on-demand is a great opportunity
take advantage guys
go sell some Father's Day shirts go sell
some graduation shirts as soon as other
niches start popping up on the radar
tune back in next week I'll be the first
to let you know thanks guys I'll see you
at the next video
