5 Low Competition Print on Demand Niches Selling Right Now (One Is Just a Penguin)

About this video

This weekly niche roundup shares five selling print-on-demand ideas, with the explicit warning not to copy them but to understand what is selling, create something unique, and always double-check trademarks and copyrights. The niches are: (1) ‘I did the math, the penguin is the answer’ — a nonsensical design rated 4.7 with 112 reviews, with only 124 results, where he suggests swapping the penguin for another animal; (2) ‘Never underestimate an old man with a tractor’ — a simple all-white design he suggests inverting to all-black for light shirts and swapping ’tractor’ for another skill/vehicle; (3) ‘Husband and wife cruising partners for life’ — a cruise niche he says can expand to honeymoon, anniversary, and just-married concepts and recurs each summer/year; (4) a cute winter octopus wearing a beanie, noted as 50 sold in the past month at $17.99, extendable to other ocean/cozy animals like polar bears and penguins; and (5) an English bulldog peeking/tilting its head, extendable to other breeds the viewer knows. He shows Ideogram prompts for each and discusses pricing, saying his newer trending shirts sell at $21–$23.99, including with ads and organically, and pitches his Top Research Design Vault with over 2,300 niches plus 20 more weekly.

Key takeaways

• Do not copy shared niches — swap one element (animal, vehicle, dog breed, wording) to create a unique entry, and always check trademarks and copyrights.
• Simple inversion is a design lever: turn an all-white design into an all-black version so it also works on light-colored shirts.
• Proven frames can be sub-niched: ‘Never underestimate an old man with a…’ and peeking/tilted-head dogs work across skills, vehicles, and breeds.
• Seasonal niches like husband-and-wife cruising return yearly, so designs made for one year/season should be updated and prepared for the next.
• Do not underprice by default — he reports sales at $21, $22.99, and $23.99 price points on trending designs, both organically and with ads.
