hey guys thank you for joining me for a
new video it's sunday so you know we're
doing a new top five niches of the week
and there is a little bit of a shake up
at the top some of you guys may know
which niche is going to replace
last week's number one overall niche
i've seen some people posting some crazy
numbers
in some facebook groups related to this
first number one overall niche
and what i'm actually gonna do is if you
can't if you can't predict what it is
it probably won't come as a surprise
when i tell you but i'm gonna show
you some of the most like ridiculous
bsr drops that i've ever seen uh
within any niche but specifically they
occurred within this niche and it's a
little bit of an unfortunate event that
happened in real life
that led to these t-shirts selling so
well anyways let's leave it at that i've
also got a really good one
at number five a niche that's just about
one month old and that on page one
everything is selling really well
and it seems like an approachable niche
it's also one that i kind of like myself
i might even buy a t-shirt in it so
i'm excited to show you guys that one
but what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna go
jump on my computer and we can get
started
thanks again for joining me guys real
quick if you're not subscribed to my
channel and you want to consider doing
so you can look forward to videos
on pricing psychology i'm going to show
you a trick in amazon merch related to
design that will increase your sales
and i'm going to do some redbubble shop
reviews and i've got a couple videos
that i promised last week that i still
need to get done
sometimes recording these things and
trying to make them as good as possible
takes a little bit longer than expected
also we got two winners from last week's
print on demand mega pack giveaway
congratulations to
uh lewis and alias i had to blur out the
rest of their emails so that i didn't
just blast it out to everybody that
watches this video
but uh you know they took advantage of
the opportunity to enter
my print on demand giveaway uh there was
a point three percent chance and a point
five six percent chance so you can
actually increase your odds by
doing little tasks like following me on
social media you gain an entry so this
week there will be another giveaway if
you want to stay till the end i'm doing
another thousand dollars in prizes
and entering is completely free and real
quick before we start if this is your
first time on my channel let me
introduce myself i'm ryan hogue i've
sold over 1.8 million dollars on amazon
to date
if you want to follow the links in the
description i've got a free 8 day print
on demand mini course to get you started
i've got a print on demand facebook
community very lively i'd love to have
you there
i publish income reports again if you're
not subscribed to my channel and you
want to hit that big red button you can
follow my progress as a print on demand
seller as a merch seller
kdp seller fba seller i even share my
youtube statistics
and last but not least i wrote a full
print on demand course 10 modules over
70 lectures
it's an incredible value especially as
we head into the fourth quarter so if
you want to check that out there's a
link in the description
all right that was a mouthful but let's
get into niche number one and this is
the one i kind of alluded to earlier as
being shaken up week over week that is
because unfortunately
supreme court justice ruth bader
ginsburg who my sister my sister's a
lawyer
is a huge fan of and ruth bader ginsburg
actually she had made my
top five niches i don't know month a
month or two ago
and uh you know unfortunately it was for
health related issues but she was no
stranger to them because she was pretty
you know she was up there as far as age
anyways
uh unfortunately she passed away and she
was much beloved by
her fellow americans so if you look at
the
top end of amazon merch t-shirt sales it
is just flooded with
rbg ruth bader ginsburg shirts
and you know deservedly so people want
to share their uh respects or show their
respects
so this uh bsr drop off is absolutely
crazy
whoever sells this t-shirt by the way
look at the t-shirt design
i mean like look at look at the design
it just says
rbg and it's distressed i mean anybody
watching this video could have made that
design
anybody on september 18th
which unfortunately is the day she
passed away
the bsr of that shirt was 667
894. within 24 hours
that bsr dropped to 201
that's absurd i don't i mean your guess
is as good as mine
as far as how many sales this shirt was
doing uh according to merch ninja it's
estimating something
like 3 000 shirts i think that means a
day
uh which is just absolutely absurd so
again
this is not like a long sustainable
low bsr i mean when i say low bsr it's
relative you're not gonna sit at 200 bsr
forever right this is because the news
the news cycle is so short you know news
breaks so quickly in the news cycle so
short
uh that she is you know right now on
everybody's minds but
200 bsr like that person if they didn't
know
like for instance for i'm not going to
talk forever about this but like i put
the cnn
app on my phone to see like what
mainstream media propaganda is being
pumped out to the american public
and when they sent out that she had died
the first thing i did was i went to my
print on demand group my merch group
private facebook groups and i said hey
guys like
this is gonna be selling really well
really soon
if you want to approach this in a
tasteful way you can make some money but
also be extremely careful
in how you approach it use the search
merch tool look
at what keywords are already on amazon
and use that as your guide meaning if
you type in ruth bader ginsburg and
you're like oh there's shirts i'm good
and then you make a shirt that says rip
ruth bader ginsburg well hold up did you
search for rip
because if you didn't you're leaving the
door open for a rejection and there's
going to be a ton of people
that get rejections trying to upload rbg
rbg ruth yeah rbg shirts that didn't do
full research on the keywords anyways
let's kind of
fast forward through this another huge
drop off um
again this is from merch ninja by the
way they do the historical bsr in their
database they track it
uh you can see another huge drop off
here and by the way there's plenty of
sub niches within the rbg
another one notorious rbg kind of a play
on words
notorious big also look at the keywords
on this shirt
very simple vintage notorious rbg
and then t-shirt amazon ads and
again like they were extremely direct
they didn't try to get indexed on a
bunch of extra keywords
that would get them ranked on page two
plus you know which i know a lot of
people are fans of doing
i personally am not a huge fan of it i
like to kind of just go after
target keywords and try to hit those
hard you know and that's what this
listing did
very successfully uh they are their bsr
is 2052.
all right niche number two and this is
the familiar normally niche number one
i'm kind of lumping together you know
social injustice politically correct
racial equality politics etc they've
been
more and more tied together in 2020 if
you follow the news cycle
so those are all lumped together at this
point there is still a lot of sub niche
potential
like i know you guys might see this and
be like there's no money to be made here
um i would again stay away from the
black lives matter because that's
different people are trying to trademark
that they're at war with each other and
as far as trademarks go but like there's
plenty of
sub-niche potential within all of these
high-level niches
so i'm just saying i'm just gonna leave
it at that maybe starting next week i
can like
give you a sub-niche of this all right
niche number three
again we're bringing it back to the
supreme court justices
and all three of these shirts are in
like the top i think 30 or maybe 40
on uh merch ninja as far as the top
sales go
so this is kind of expanding beyond just
ruth bader ginsburg
and looking at all of the female
supreme court justices you know i mean i
guess with the addition of
ruth who unfortunately passed away but
like you can
i didn't make this up just so you know
like i looked at what's actually selling
and it shouldn't come as a surprise it's
the same thing of like
out of sight out of mind insight in mind
higher likelihood of making a t-shirt
sale so this is in the news cycle right
now it's going to be in the news cycle
right now because if you
you guys that are outside the united
states might not know how this works but
um the president typically gets to
suggest
uh or not suggest a point than the
replacement
and given that we're you know just over
a month away from the election
there's going to be a lot of turmoil
about what happens with her replacement
anyways enough talk about u.s politics
and u.s government i think we all hear
enough about that
uh on a day-to-day basis plus it's the
weekend come on football's on
a lot of good games today anyways this
is going to be something that doesn't go
away
in the next week two weeks so if you're
going to
look for some t-shirt sales that you can
make in the near term
this is a good opportunity because it's
not just focused on
rbg all right niche number four this was
super random and i'm not gonna lie guys
niches one two and three that i just
shared it was very
loaded at the top very top-heavy so i
kind of had to stretch just to get these
niches
but for some reason there was like two
math shirts right next to each other as
far as like in the top 50.
they were right next to each other in
ranking so one of them is just says what
part of
don't you understand and it's just a
crazy math equation and then next to
that the other shirt right here
dear math grow up and solve your own
problem i don't know why these math
shirts are selling well maybe it's
representative
of um sub niche potential i don't know
maybe people are sending customers from
off of amazon to amazon
but because we were thin on new niches
and i didn't want to just recycle old
ones
i showed you these because they're both
new entries into the top 50.
all right so here's some additional
information on the the math shirt number
one as you can see bsr
steadily trending downwards and niche
number two or
sub niche number two within math what
part of equations don't you understand
uh it says funny math teacher gift so
maybe it has something to do with back
to school i don't know
but also uh trending a little bit not
not as much of a
direct line downwards but still selling
pretty well pretty well
niche number five and this is the one
that i really liked i don't get the joke
i'm on the outside of this joke so if
you guys get it let me know i did a
quick google search i didn't see
anything
didn't look too hard but so i'm i love
like
the bigfoot and the uh conspiracies if
you will
or just you know listening to people's
stories doesn't have to be conspiracy a
lot of people have
first-hand accounts of seeing bigfoot
you know especially in the pennsylvania
area
um i've heard some good ones but anyways
who doesn't like a good bigfoot story
especially if you go out camping
these shirts say i want to be the one
who has a beer with daryl
and they all have similar designs i
don't know this might be alluding to a
tv show but
there is almost 200 designs that showed
up when i searched this on the search
merch tool so this should be safe
and even though all of these designs
look like exact pixel for pixel clones
of each other
just about right yeah they do um not all
of them on page one
were this exact design but i don't know
if this is a bad suggestion let me know
i apologize again today the niches were
thin
but the bsrs on this niche were really
good they were down under like 500k
on page one all of them not maybe not
all but like the top half of page one
all right i don't want to exaggerate too
much but that means like three rows
500k or lower so they were all selling
well and i
um if you have the ds amazon quick view
chrome extension right ds amazon quick
view
i can pull it up over here and show you
guys you need to go grab it it is my
favorite chrome extension
for selling on amazon and with this
chrome extension if you
mouse over the listings in the search
results it'll show you the date posted
which is useful because what if this
niche was old it wouldn't be that great
of a suggestion
but it's new or new ish these these
shirts are no more than 30 days old
and also with the ruth bader ginsburg
shirts while you're doing your research
to see if you can still post
shirts because it is in the merch
content policy to not capitalize on
human tragedy
but by the way guys ai isn't so
intelligent to
understand that if you post a shirt that
says notorious
because i know somebody's already in the
comments asking this ai is not so
intelligent to know
that ruth bader ginsburg died on the
over here on the left
and then you or me upload a shirt over
here that says notorious rbg
and then the ai is like no you can't
upload notorious rbg even though there's
a hundred of them already on the
platform because
she just they don't know so i know some
people are like super sticklers
you can't capitalize on human tragedy
it's not or you can argue that it is but
guess what if you don't end up in court
with lawyers litigating it then you're
fine
you know what i mean the worst that
happens is you get rejected which is why
i say use the search merch tool
and look at what's okay all right
because i already know i'm getting a
little like
lit up about it because i know there's
gonna be people in the comments saying
it's not okay but like if you use ds
amazon quickview
you can mouse over the listings it will
tell you the date of publication
it says date first available that that
chrome extension is free and it's
amazing it's my favorite chrome
extension for amazon
all right man i'm i'm excited today
looking ahead september 25th if you're
looking for random niches related to
dates
september 25th comic book day september
26
world tourism day september 28th good
neighbor day september 29th
international translation day i wish
i spoke you know what i do kind of speak
another language well too i speak
html so if you want to count like
computer languages
you could say i speak a few and then i
speak australian too i'm fluent in that
so
all right october 31st halloween because
it's never too early
all right bonus t-shirts and normally i
give you shirts i like
this time i just gave you some
suggestions that i didn't i didn't think
they really fit in the top five because
i went and i did some further digging
and the bsrs weren't consistently good
enough that i wanted to suggest it in
the top five
but this hamilton lafayette mulligan
lauren's bur
sir these are selling well at the top
end
and then not selling that great in the
middle to bottom end so they almost i
mean
i considered it but the bsrs weren't
consistent enough but i wanted to make
sure i got
got it out there and then this one i
can't i have plans in the garage
so these uh this one shirt you see it
all the way over there on the left
bsr of 7541 at a price point of 19.99 i
don't know why that shirt is selling so
much better than the rest because it's
simple text based
that that pretty much screams that
they're driving traffic from off of
amazon if i had to guess but either way
i just wanted to
give give you a bonus niche again the
whole niche
as a whole is not exactly selling super
well uh
but you know the the top is definitely
top heavy put it that way
all right deleted designs let's see if
we can find any patterns
get your crayon okay the crayons stay
away especially as we head into
halloween stay away from the the crayons
um a lot of these ruth bader ginsburg
rejections
as we expected i didn't actually
mouse over and try to figure out why
they were rejected or removed
but again be very meticulous with the
keywords that you use
if you're going to go after this niche
all right just because you see them in
the remove doesn't mean it's not okay i
already did my due diligence
they're posting new shirts every day so
like there were new shirts today there
were new shirts yesterday so people are
still posting them
um just do your research if you go after
it i really don't want people to get
rejections
but you're here because you want to make
money and there's money to be made in
that niche all right
all right this week we're doing another
