AI-Powered Niche Hunting: Masterclass on Low Competition Print on Demand!
About this video
The creator walks through an AI-assisted print-on-demand workflow for finding low-competition niches. He prompts ChatGPT for ‘what are the top 50 hobbies in the USA for 2023?’, arguing hobbies trigger emotion and demand, then takes a hobby example — surfing — and asks ChatGPT for 20 funny surfing sayings for a t-shirt, including ‘Surf’s up dude but first coffee,’ ‘Eat sleep surf repeat,’ and ‘Surf more work less.’ He then checks ideas in Merch Informer, which he says shows Amazon sales data and a ‘movers and shakers’ feature he checks daily for inspiration, and uses its trademark check / trademark alerts: he has ChatGPT remove the quotation marks, pastes all 20 sayings in, and reports they came back safe/clear. For design he names Merch Informer, Canva, and Placeit, demonstrates in Canva using a 4,500 by 5,400 pixel size he calls the Amazon Merch on Demand template, edits a surfing template with the chosen saying, and downloads it as a PNG with transparent background. He lists upload destinations including Amazon Merch on Demand, Redbubble, Teespring, Zazzle, TeePublic, Spreadshirt, Fine Art America, and CafePress, plus print providers that can link to a personal website or Etsy. He also mentions a Merch Informer coupon for an additional 20 percent off, and at the end claims, as his own claim, to show in another video how he generated over $300,000 with print on demand using Amazon Merch.
