5 Low Competition Niches Selling RIGHT NOW

About this video

RJ Martinez, who says he has done print on demand for over eight years, presents five low-competition niches selling now, each with a competition score, BSR-based proof of demand and an Ideogram prompt viewers can pause and copy. 1) ‘Jesus is my jam’ strawberry version — Christian humour meets cottagecore in a vintage jam-jar illustration, about 112 results, distinct from generic text shirts; spin-offs swap strawberry for blueberry or peach or use other food puns. 2) ‘Cranky’ US-flag crankbait fishing shirt — a grumpy lure pun stacking fishermen, dads, Father’s Day (he gives June 21st) and the Fourth of July. Its score is shown at 100. 3) Lobster martini summer design — a cartoon lobster with a martini; the lowest score in the video, given as 66 when found and 72 on screen, with a repeatable cute-animal-plus-summer-drink formula (crab with a margarita, shrimp with a beer, flamingo with a cocktail). 4) Barbecue lover ‘You can never have too many grills’ — dad/grandpa grilling humour for Father’s Day and summer; he includes it despite much higher competition as a lesson that high competition can signal proven demand, so keywords and shareability matter. 5) ‘America turns 250, I turn 50’ — for people born in 1976 turning 50 in 2026 (1776, 1976, 2026), scalable to other ages/years; its score is given as 114 when found and 268 on screen. He warns ‘America 250’ together is a trademark and says Amazon Merch’s rejection bot gave him eight rejections, and plugs his Top Research Design Vault — 20 new niches weekly and access to over 2,100 — plus a free research spreadsheet.

Key takeaways

• Judge a niche by competition score plus BSR movement: repeated drops/rises in the last 30 days signal sales, and a very low score can put a new seller on the front page after a first sale
• Stack occasions and audiences: the crankbait design targets fishermen, dads, Father’s Day and the Fourth of July at once, then stays evergreen through summer
• Build repeatable formulas, not one-offs: swap the fruit in ‘Jesus is my jam’, the animal/drink in the lobster martini, or the birth year in the America 250 birthday template
• High competition is not always a pass — for the grills niche he treats it as proven demand, but only with solid listing keywords and a design people will share
• Check trademarks before uploading: he flags ‘America 250’ as a trademark and reports eight Amazon Merch rejections, advising sellers to do their own checks even on shared ideas
