5 More Low Competition Print on Demand Niches for 2026 (Hidden Gems)

About this video

Martinez presents five low-competition niches (framed in the video title as picks for 2026; the year is not stated in the transcript), giving for each the niche, a prompt idea, and a competition/Amazon result count, with a free spreadsheet of the prompts in the description. He introduces himself with his own claim of over $400,000 in print-on-demand royalties from his Amazon and other work (another sales figure in the introduction is garbled in the transcript and is omitted here). The niches: (1) Scribble cat — abstract, minimalist sketch-style cat (173 results), which he likens to a child’s drawing and says can extend to dogs or cat faces, with a consistently selling BSR example even after a price rise; he shows an Ideogram AI version generated from the prompt. (2) Clowns / jokers — a funny directional-sign design at $15.99 (111 results), a newer seller whose first sale was about four days earlier, illustrating getting in early as a trend starts. (3) ‘Guess what I need’ (370 results) — a design with a missing element that he interprets as a crude ‘I need head’ joke, with demand in the last 30 days; he advises taking the concept, not copying the design, and using ChatGPT for other angles. (4) Guitarist definition-style (319 results, 4.6 stars from 3 ratings in the example) — he argues being first to put a definition treatment on a new trend or role is a strong entry. (5) Vintage ‘Honey badger is my spirit animal’ (494 results, 4.4 stars from 526 ratings in the example), extending the ‘spirit animal’ formula he says worked for animals like the axolotl. Throughout he pitches his Top Research Design Vault — $10/month in his description, with over 1,800 niches plus 20 new ones weekly, including keywords, links, competition scores, prompts and unique angles.

Key takeaways

• Judge a niche by its Amazon result count and BSR consistency — the five examples run from 111 to 494 results.
• Minimalist scribble/sketch animal art is presented as a simple style that sells and can extend across animals.
• Entering a newer, just-started-selling design early is a way to get ahead before competition builds.
• Definition-style designs work best when you are among the first to apply them to a new trend, job, or hobby.
• ‘[Animal] is my spirit animal’ is a repeatable formula — swap in trending animals in a vintage/retro style.
