5 Evergreen Niches You Must See With Low Competition

About this video

Martinez — who says he has sold over $350,000 all time on his Amazon Merch by Amazon account, as his own claim with a screenshot shown — presents five evergreen niches found with Merch Informer (which he promotes with a seven-day free trial and his coupon code). He opens with the April 8 solar eclipse he had flagged six months earlier, saying he has seen screenshots of people doing over a thousand sales a day around Easter and the eclipse. The niches: (1) ‘Due to the unfortunate circumstances I’m awake,’ a simple text design targeting a ’lazy friend,’ first sold in 2021, selling consistently since, with 708 results for the long-tail phrase; (2) ‘How to get an engineer’s attention,’ a funny pie-chart engineering shirt (segments such as coffee break and ’there’s got to be a better way to do this’), first sold in 2019 and still selling through 2023-2024, 799 results — he suggests applying the same pie-chart concept to other niches like garden or plant lovers; (3) ‘I’m just out here trusting God,’ a Christian design in a 90s/retro style, riding Easter/religion demand, on a listing dating to 2019; (4) a science-teacher design rendered in the transcript as ’never trust in autumn, they make up everything,’ with an element graphic, first sold in 2021, 936 results; and (5) ‘Behavior goes where reinforcement flows,’ in a retro rainbow/groovy style, first sold August 2023 and selling roughly once or twice a month organically, 1,000 results. His method: lower search-result counts are better for beginners, but do not fear higher competition once you are making sales — a few sales move you toward page one, and ads can accelerate that. Take inspiration only, never copy designs, and double-check trademarks and copyrights.

Key takeaways

• Simple text-based funny/sarcastic sayings (e.g. ‘due to the unfortunate circumstances I’m awake’) can sell consistently for years, across Amazon and Etsy alike
• Transfer a proven concept to a new niche instead of copying: the engineer pie-chart idea can be reworked for garden/plant lovers by changing the words
• Retro/90s styling is a repeatable lever, applied here to a Christian design and to ‘behavior goes where reinforcement flows’
• Judge niches by search-result counts (708, 799, 936 and 1,000 in his examples) plus all-time sales/BSR consistency, not by the design’s complexity
• Early event research pays: he cites the eclipse, flagged six months ahead, and reports seeing sellers do over a thousand sales a day; always check trademarks and copyrights
