5 Low Competition Print on Demand Niches (Only 131 Competitors on This One)
About this video
The creator presents five low-competition print-on-demand niches found through Amazon research, showing the search-result count and an Ideogram prompt for each so viewers can generate their own version. The niches are: (1) a basketball with ice-cream drip and sprinkles, extending the trending ‘ice cream drip’ concept across sports like baseball and football (172 results); (2) Lake Ontario designs (‘Lake Ontario established 1615’), tied to talk of renaming it Lake America, with listings showing BSRs around 108K–409K (629 results); (3) the ‘Things I do in my spare time’ story-list format applied to fishing — go fishing, buy gear, research, talk, think, dream about fishing — which can be re-skinned for any hobby (1,000 results); (4) a romantic pocket rose with a cowboy hat, the lowest-competition pick at only 131 results, which he flags may relate to a song or event so trademark checks matter; and (5) Cuban roots / Hispanic heritage designs ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month (315 results). He repeatedly stresses checking trademarks and copyrights and being unique rather than copying. He also promotes his Top Research Design Vault, which he says contains 2,340 niches with 20 new ones weekly, and offers a free spreadsheet of the video’s niches in the description.
Key takeaways
- Competition is measured by Amazon search-result counts: the rose design had only 131 results, versus 172 for basketball ice-cream drip, 315 for Cuban roots, 629 for Lake Ontario, and 1,000 for the fishing ‘spare time’ format.
- Ride visual trends across categories: the ice-cream drip style that started in one sport can be applied to basketball, baseball, and football.
- The ‘Things I do in my spare time’ list format is a reusable template — swap fishing for bowling or any hobby to enter a new niche with a proven layout.
- News and cultural moments create niches: the Lake Ontario / Lake America renaming talk and upcoming Hispanic Heritage Month both produced selling designs.
- For every niche he shows the exact Ideogram prompt used to generate a version, and warns to double-check trademarks and copyrights — especially the rose design, which may be tied to a song or event.
