5 Low Competition Print on Demand Niches This Week (Only 102 Competitors on This One)
About this video
The creator presents five low-competition print-on-demand niche ideas for the week, repeatedly warning viewers to check trademarks and copyrights and to create original designs rather than copy sellers. The ideas are: a pro-AI humor phrase along the lines of refusing help because the wearer uses AI, which he suggests brainstorming variants for with a writing AI; ’easily distracted by rocks’ with a cute bear, a format he says can be swapped to other distractions such as sourdough, raccoons, or other interests, and which the transcript gives as having 102 competitors; a porch-sitting design about watching hummingbirds, extendable to coffee, tea, dogs, or garage and football versions; an ‘officially 8 years old’ birthday shirt that can be scaled to other ages and split by birthday boy or girl; and a cowboy encountering a UFO, with variations by animal and by simpler versus more detailed art styles. For each he shows example prompts in Ideogram, notes where AI output needs fixing, advises not fearing higher prices because Amazon discounts can erode profit, and says the creator made several new sales this week from this research approach. He offers the week’s five ideas as a free spreadsheet and promotes a paid vault with additional weekly niches.
Key takeaways
- Always check trademarks and copyrights and make an original design instead of copying a selling shirt
- Turn a proven phrase format into new niches by swapping one element, such as changing what the wearer is easily distracted by
- Extend lifestyle phrases to new settings and audiences, like porch, garage, coffee, or pet variations
- Scale birthday-age designs across ages and audiences to build a family of listings from one concept
- Price high enough that marketplace discounts do not wipe out profit, and fix AI errors such as obscured text before listing
