5 Hot T-Shirt Niches to Exploit in 2022 | Print On Demand Niche Research | Merch By Amazon
About this video
RJ Martinez shares five print-on-demand niches he pitches for 2022 that he says will stay profitable for years. First is the mathematical niche: funny sayings and equations for math lovers, exemplified by ‘dear math, grow up and solve your own problems,’ plus motivational problem-solving quotes and designs aimed at math teachers. Second is funny mom sayings — ‘having a weird mom builds character’ and ‘I won’t be remembered as a woman that kept her mouth shut’ — which he says can be swapped to dads, sisters, girlfriends, and other family members, with birthday and Mother’s Day angles selling every year. Third is book lovers, a passionate niche he says he personally makes sales in, citing ‘f off, I’m reading’ while warning that Merch by Amazon is strict and such wording can get a rejection; he suggests targeting bookkeepers and librarians and cross-niching animals with books to cut competition. Fourth is the school teacher niche, which he says works for St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, Pi Day, and first/last day of school, with subject crosses (math, English, history, PE teachers) and sayings like ’try your hardest, do your best, but always remember you are more than a test’; he says he has a top-selling design in it and knows people who crush it. Fifth is military and American flag designs, with a strong warning not to use Army, Navy, Marines, or US forces wording in designs or keywords without rights, and safer angles including flags, bald eagles, patriotic sayings, firefighters, police officers, detectives, and captains. He closes by pointing to another video about how he claims to have made over $200,000 in royalties all time with Merch by Amazon.
Key takeaways
- Math niche: funny equation-based sayings like ‘dear math, grow up and solve your own problems,’ aimed at math lovers and math teachers
- Funny mom sayings are easily swapped to other family members and get recurring birthday and Mother’s Day demand
- Book lovers are a passionate niche — cross it with animals, bookkeepers, or librarians to reduce competition, but watch Merch by Amazon’s strictness on profanity
- Teacher designs can ride many holidays (including Pi Day) plus first/last day of school, and subject-teacher crosses multiply the ideas
- For military/patriotic designs, avoid Army, Navy, Marines, and US forces terms without rights — use flags, eagles, and first-responder occupations instead
