5 Winning Evegreen Niches You Must See With Low Competiton
About this video
Martinez presents five evergreen niches he found with Merch Informer (called ‘Merchant farmer’/Merch Informer in the transcript; tools shown are Merch Hunter and Movers and Shakers). 1) Retired lineman — ‘Rain, shine, sleep or snow I’m staying home’ (4.6/5, 164 results for the long-tail phrase; listing up since 2018, consistently selling) — plus a lineman hourly-rate joke design (first sale 2021, quiet until demand rose in 2022, ~89K BSR in 2024). He says retirement designs for any occupation are big, and speculates linemen make $60-$100+/hour. 2) ‘Snack accident’ — defined as eating all the bacon by mistake (5.0/5, 3 ratings, 344 results; first sale August 2023 at ~3M BSR, starting to rank) — extendable to pickles and other snacks. 3) ‘Dogs solve most of my problems, kayaking solves the rest’ (393 results), a dog-plus-sport cross-niche extendable to cats, breeds and other sports, first sale 2022 and consistent through 2023-24. 4) Left-handed definition — ‘Like right-handed, only cooler’ (4.6/5, 36 ratings, 460 results; first sale 2020, selling strongly in 2024). 5) ‘Laws of physical therapy’ motivational list (346 results, an overall pick, described as consistently cranking). He explains BSR drops mean a sale, staying low can mean multiple sales a day, and ~60K BSR in Q4 means strong sales.
Key takeaways
- Retirement + occupation is the evergreen template: the retired-lineman phrase had only 164 results yet a listing selling consistently since 2018
- Cross two passions to create a niche — dogs + kayaking (393 results) — then swap animal, breed or sport to expand it
- Simple definition-style text designs work in snack-accident (344 results), left-handed (460 results) and physical-therapy (346 results) niches
- Read BSR charts patiently: the hourly-rate lineman design did almost nothing after its 2021 first sale, then took off in 2022-2023 to ~89K BSR
- Use Merch Hunter/Movers and Shakers to find trending ideas, filter US shirts/top 100, and exclude brands like Disney and Star Wars
