5 Low Competition Niches Selling RIGHT NOW on Amazon Merch on Demand
About this video
The creator shares five low-competition niche ideas, explaining for each what is selling, how to make an original version instead of copying, and an Ideogram prompt idea. He stresses checking trademark and copyright before entering any niche, and offers a free spreadsheet download with the niches, scores, and links. The first is Tired Mom’s Coffee Club, with a result count of 190, where he suggests varying coffee and breakfast elements and adapting a design that works on light shirts to also work on black shirts. Second is a penguin playing hockey, result count 249, where changing tape and helmet colors or the penguin’s angle could differentiate it without using team branding. Third is a ‘henopause’ chicken-collecting menopause joke, result count 226, which he says from its sales rank appears to sell consistently a few times some weeks, and could be adapted to gardening themes. Fourth is an Australian shepherd herding dog design built around the dog having heard its owner, result count 119, with other herding breeds and poses as variations. Fifth is a bird-watching design about apologizing for not listening because the person saw a bird. He also demonstrates Ideogram’s updated background remover, which he says worked cleanly on his tests, and promotes his paid Top Research Design Vault, which he says costs $10 a month, includes over 2,000 niches on signup, and adds 20 niches weekly, alongside a free version.
Key takeaways

- Small changes like colors, angles, and poses can differentiate an animal design
- He reads repeated sales-rank drops as evidence of consistent weekly sales
- He promotes a free niche spreadsheet and a paid weekly research vault
