5 Low Competition Fall T-Shirt Niches That Are Making Money NOW!
About this video
RJ Martinez presents five fall/Halloween niches he says have low competition but growing traffic, found by combining Amazon Merch, Etsy search trends, keyword tools and BSR/sales signals. He introduces himself as claiming over $500,000 in royalties and over 125,000 products sold over eight-plus years in print on demand. The niches are: 1) ‘Battery life of a school lunch lady,’ with batteries labelled Monday to Friday draining by Friday; 2) pumpkin cherries in a coquette/’ette’ bow style mixing summer cherries with autumn/Halloween; 3) ‘Happy Summerween,’ mixing summer and Halloween imagery such as ghosts with beach balls, ice cream, sunglasses and snorkelling gear, which he cites as 50+ bought in the past month at $17.99 on one listing; 4) golden retriever Halloween, with dogs in ghost/witch costumes, scalable to other breeds and cats; and 5) ‘Some call it chaos, we call it middle school,’ scalable across preschool, elementary and other grade levels for teachers. For each he examines ratings, titles/keywords, 30-day, 90-day and all-time BSR movement, notes low starting prices, and shows AI prompt ideas in Ideogram, warning that AI often misspells text and adds extra limbs that need editing. He repeatedly reminds viewers to check trademarks and copyrights, and promotes his Top Research Design Vault.
Key takeaways
- The five niches are lunch lady battery life, pumpkin cherries with a coquette bow, Happy Summerween, golden retriever Halloween, and ‘Some call it chaos, we call it middle school’
- He judges demand by BSR drops over 30/90 days and all-time, plus ratings and ‘bought in past month’ signals, not just search volume
- Crossover/mashup themes — summer plus Halloween, cherries plus pumpkin — are presented as a way to get ahead of competition
- Several niches are scalable: swap dog breeds/species in the Halloween pet niche and swap grade levels in the chaos/teacher niche
- AI prompts in Ideogram are used for concepts, but misspelled text and anatomical errors require editing or regeneration
