5 Low Competition Print On Demand Niches Selling RIGHT NOW 2026
About this video
The creator walks through five low-competition print-on-demand niche ideas, showing for each one the design idea, a competition/result count, and the Ideogram AI prompt he used to generate his own version. He opens by warning viewers to always double-check trademarks and copyrights and not to copy designs outright. The first idea is ‘I love the last day of state testing,’ aimed broadly at teachers and students across grades; he points to a 5.0-star listing with one review and says its BSR chart suggests it may be selling an estimated 5 to 20 units a day, with 335 competing results, and suggests variations like turning the ‘o’ in ’love’ into a heart. A second idea is a roadrunner/UFO bird concept he says has been performing for three to four months, with 1,111 results, and he suggests screenshotting a concept into ChatGPT or Claude to brainstorm other animals. A third mixes a trending ‘off to survive’ style concept with state testing, using animals such as a possum on a scooter or a raccoon; he notes these newer listings have no BSR and may not be selling yet, but frames them as getting ahead of a trend, with 91 results. The remaining ideas are dog-focused: a ‘where are you going?’ design based on what a dog seems to think when its owner leaves, which he says made sales a few days apart and has 121 results, and a dog with a butterfly on its nose, which he says made one sale in the last 30 days with 153 results, extendable to other breeds, cats, reptiles, rabbits, and other animals. Throughout he stresses using AI for most of the heavy lifting while expecting to edit its output, and he promotes his Top Research Design Vault, which he says costs $10 a month, includes 1,940 niches plus 20 new ones weekly with keywords, links, and prompts, plus a free download of the niches shown.
Key takeaways
- Always check trademarks and copyrights before using a niche idea
- Use BSR movement to judge whether a design is actually selling
- Mix a trending concept with an evergreen topic for a fresh angle
- Screenshot a concept into ChatGPT or Claude to brainstorm animal variations
- Use Ideogram prompts to draft designs, but expect to edit AI output
