5 Hidden Niches to Skyrocket Your Print On Demand Sales
About this video
The creator presents five low-competition niches he says are selling well, explaining for each why demand exists so sellers can act quickly. They are: a duck hunting joke about ‘morning woodies,’ a simple text design he says had about 188 results and 200 bought in the past month, which he estimates could make $50 to $100 a month; a funny plumber hourly-rate design, with about 107 results, built on escalating joke rates depending on whether the customer watches, helps, or tried fixing it first — a concept he says also works in barbecue and beer niches; a husband-and-wife joke, ‘I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes, she hugged me,’ with about 476 results; and two seasonal ‘100 days of school’ angles, a cat/kitten version with about 104 results and a teacher-focused ‘100 days of coffee and chaos’ version with about 198 results. For the school designs he stresses timing: BSR history shows sales spike in late January into early February, so listing early lets a design start ranking before the event peaks. Throughout he uses Helium 10 to read BSR charts, promotes his research vault, demonstrates Merch Informer, and warns sellers to double-check trademarks even for researched niches.
Key takeaways
- Simple text-based joke designs can be top sellers when the phrase is tightly targeted to a hobby, trade, or relationship
- A proven joke structure, like escalating hourly rates, can be transplanted from one niche to another, such as plumber to barbecue
- Seasonal niches like 100 days of school reward early listing, because ranking before the late-January sales spike matters
- Read the all-time BSR chart, not just today’s rank, to spot designs that sell consistently or repeat every year
- Even curated niche lists require your own trademark and copyright verification before you design and upload
