5 Funny + Trending T-Shirt Niches to Sell Right Now (Summer, Travel, Memes & More)

About this video

Martinez shares five funny, specific low-competition niches he found using Merch Informer, validated across platforms, each paired with an Ideogram AI prompt. He first outlines his system: 1) type a real idea into Amazon/Etsy and watch autocomplete, staying interested if results are under 2,000; 2) check Amazon BSRs — top shirts under 500K means the niche is moving; 3) cross-check on Redbubble and Google Trends; 4) dig deeper with Merch Informer for keywords/trends, then create a concept fast with Ideogram. The niches are: 1) ‘I am the big sister, which makes me the boss’ — simple text design, 50 bought in past month, 156 results, first sale Feb 14 2025 and consistently selling, with big brother/little brother variants suggested; 2) ‘I don’t always dance, oh wait yes I do’ — simple text, about 1,000 results, first sale late in the prior month and consistently selling since; 3) Augusta, Georgia golf — golf club/ball/tee/flag and flower graphics without using the word ‘Masters’ to avoid rejection, 408 results; 4) ‘Dear parents, tag you’re it — Love, teachers’ for last day of school, 300+ bought in past month, 213 results, first sale April 2025 with a strong downward BSR trend; 5) coquette bow ice cream cone, 241 results, aimed at summer (flavours can be swapped). He pitches his Top Research Design Vault at $10/month for 15-20 niches weekly.

Key takeaways

• His 4-step validation system: autocomplete on Amazon/Etsy with results under 2,000, BSRs under 500K, cross-check Redbubble/Google Trends, then Merch Informer plus Ideogram prompts
• Simple text-based designs sell — ‘I am the big sister, which makes me the boss’ (156 results) and ‘I don’t always dance, oh wait yes I do’ don’t need detailed art
• Avoid risky words: for Augusta, Georgia golf designs, do not use ‘Masters’ or you will likely get a rejection — stay general with the city and golf graphics (408 results)
• ‘Dear parents, tag you’re it — Love, teachers’ for last day of school had 300+ bought in the past month and only 213 results — design for teachers, students and parents heading into summer
• Coquette bow + ice cream cone (241 results) is positioned for summer/Mother’s Day timing, and the flavour can be swapped (strawberry, raspberry, black cherry) for variants
