Amazon Hot New Releases Research for Print On Demand 2026

About this video

The creator walks through Amazon Hot New Releases t-shirts to find patterns sellers can reuse on Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble or their own site. With Easter on the 5th (two Sundays away in the video), most examples are Easter designs: a cool rabbit with a carrot on its shoulder uploaded nine days earlier and already at 72K BSR, which he notes works as a general design because it does not say Happy Easter; ‘67’ designs (a trend he compares to dabbing) including a 67 bunny with ears and glasses uploaded five days earlier; and a selfie-style design with a cat, Bigfoot and a rabbit. He argues proven concepts should be carried to the next holiday — the selfie style already worked for St. Patrick’s Day and Valentine’s Day, and he suggests trying Cinco de Mayo, 4th of July, Christmas and Thanksgiving — and that a rabbit/carrot concept could become a taco with a chili for Cinco de Mayo. Other patterns are a funny bitten chocolate bunny (‘my butt hurts’ style sarcastic humour) and simple text designs, with a reminder to double-check trademarks and copyrights. He explains BSR: lower means more sales, citing 39K-42K as crazy, roughly one to three sales a day at higher ranks versus five to 30 a day around 30K-40K depending on the holiday. He offers a free spreadsheet (five niches a week) and a paid Top Research Design Vault with 20 low-competition niches weekly.
