ChatGPT Merch by Amazon: Uncovering Untapped Niche Ideas with Low Competition
About this video
The creator shows how to use ChatGPT as an aid for Merch by Amazon niche research, stressing that low-competition niches help with front-page ranking and organic sales, and that Merch handles inventory, shipping and customer service while the seller focuses on research, design and keywords. He starts broad by asking for top hobbies in the USA, then narrows the answers step by step: playing musical instruments leads to a list of instruments, then to drummers in particular. ChatGPT supplies background on drummers, drumming styles such as rock, jazz, funk and Latin, and the drummer’s role in determining tempo, which he turns into possible design concepts. He then checks Amazon to verify demand, pointing to front-page designs and their BSRs as evidence sellers are buying in the niche. Next he asks ChatGPT for funny phrases and t-shirt phrases for drum players and treats the output as raw ideas to develop, not guaranteed sellers. He advises checking phrases for trademarks, creating your own prompts, taking notes on your research process, and building depth in one niche before expanding to others.
Key takeaways
- Use ChatGPT conversationally to go from a broad category (hobbies) to a sub-niche (instruments, then drummers) rather than expecting it to do all the work
- Learn the niche first — styles, roles and insider details — because that knowledge generates original design ideas and phrases
- Verify demand on Amazon before designing: front-page listings with sales/BSRs suggest buyers exist in the niche
- Ask the AI for funny and t-shirt-specific phrases, then treat them as starting ideas and check them for trademarks before use
- Build your own prompt list and notes; the creator argues deeply working one niche can matter more than scattering across many
