5 T-Shirt Niches That Are Blowing Up Right Now!

About this video

RJ Martinez presents five low-competition back-to-school and Halloween niches found by digging into Amazon, Etsy and sales data for listings with solid demand but under-the-radar competition, and warns to always double-check trademarks and copyrights. The ideas are: ‘Two kindergarten and beyond’ with planets/astronaut/rocket elements (771 results for the phrase, 50 bought in past month, dropping BSR signalling demand); ‘Middle school crew’ for teachers with words like support, care, love, encourage, motivate, inspire, connect (547 results, buyers often buying multiples); a Halloween ghost-with-flowers design already selling in late June/July, about three months out (273 results); Halloween crossed with breast cancer awareness — October — combining ghost, bats, witch hat, pink pumpkin and pink ribbon (172 results); and ‘Don’t make me get my flying monkeys’ with a witch, also showing July demand (670 results). For each he shows BSR drops as evidence of sales, shows an Ideogram prompt (he says he now prefers Ideogram.ai over Midjourney), and notes AI output can be used as-is after upscaling or broken apart for elements. He also pitches his Top Research Design Vault, offering 20 low-competition niches weekly with keywords and prompt ideas.

Key takeaways

• Look for a dropping / nose-diving BSR over the last 30 days as the signal that a niche has real demand and people are buying
• Back-to-school phrases ‘Two kindergarten and beyond’ (771 results) and ‘Middle school crew’ (547 results) still had room for last-minute sales and group/multiple purchases
• Halloween designs were already selling consistently in June/July, three months out — a sign to jump on a niche early rather than waiting
• Crossing niches can be powerful: Halloween plus breast cancer awareness (October) pairs a passionate audience with a holiday theme, using pink pumpkin/ribbon, ghost and bats (172 results)
• Use Ideogram prompts shown for each niche for inspiration, upscale before uploading, and you can lift single elements (e.g. the rocket) into your own original layout
