5 Low Competition Niches Selling RIGHT NOW on Amazon Merch on Demand
About this video
RJ Martinez, who says he has done print on demand for close to nine years full-time and sold hundreds of thousands of products, shares five Amazon-researched niches with competition scores and AI prompt ideas, noting research should be cross-checked on Etsy, Redbubble or a website and checked for trademarks. 1) A cool goat with sunglasses / graphic face (result 107, shown with 4.8 stars and 34 reviews) — BSR drops in the last 30 days show consistent sales; scale to goose, raccoon and other animals, and try different angles such as side view. 2) Seagulls saying ‘Mom, mom’ instead of ‘mine, mine’ (result 112) — he thinks it echoes Finding Nemo, warns not to copy the exact cartoon/brand, and says it made its first sale on April 20 last month and is rising toward Mother’s Day but could become evergreen. 3) ‘Outnumbered by boys’ mum design, sometimes with a goose (result 530) — vary number of boys, cap colour and sports (baseball, soccer, football), and try ‘outnumbered by girls’. 4) ‘My weekend’s fully booked’ book-lover design with florals (result 355, shown at $17.99, 855K BSR) — mine BookTok comments for funny sayings, e.g. ‘I have no shelf control’. 5) ‘Just a girl who loves K-pop’ (result 355) — consistent BSR sales and a recurring finger-heart hand gesture he identifies as a pattern to include. He offers a free download of the niches and promotes his vault at $10/month for 20 niches weekly.
Key takeaways
- Use BSR movement over the last 30 days to confirm demand: repeated drops mean repeated sales, not just a listing existing.
- Enter a niche differently — change the animal, viewing angle, wording (‘mom’ for ‘mine’) or small prompt keywords rather than copying a design exactly.
- Mother’s Day designs like ‘Outnumbered by boys’ can be evergreen if varied by child count, cap colour, sport, or flipped to girls.
- Look for repeatable visual patterns in sellers, such as the K-pop finger-heart gesture, and research what they mean before using them.
- Always double-check trademarks and copyright, especially for designs that evoke a film or brand, and cross-check Amazon research on other platforms.
