Crazy Teacher Niche Ideas That Will Make You $$$$ This Summer
About this video
The creator researches a trending teacher niche around ’last day of school’ / ‘school’s out for summer’ ahead of summer, timed in the video around April 23 with sales building toward May and June. His method is to look for demand and sales velocity: on Amazon listings he reads the BSR / sales-rank chart, explaining that drops in rank indicate sales, that a rank below 100k likely means it is trending and below 50k is stronger, and noting an example uploaded March 8, 2024 that made its first sale in April and then repeated sales. He searches ’last day of school’ in the research tool he uses (with Amazon’s search bar as an alternative), filtering by ratings, and warns not to copy designs but to understand the niche. Ideas he extracts include shirts for teachers and for students, ‘dear parents, tag you’re it,’ ‘peace out second grade’ and other next-grade promotion shirts, happy last day of school / pre-K / kindergarten, summer school, ‘signed my shirt’ autograph shirts (suggesting adding space on the back), and ‘class dismissed’ / ‘is it summer break yet?’ sayings. Recurring elements he points out are retro/groovy fonts, pencils, apples, hearts, suns, sunglasses, palm trees, paper airplanes, buses, flowers and video-game themes, plus summer and vacation imagery. He repeatedly cautions about checking trademarks — using the tool’s trademark check linking to USPTO records and looking at classification / whether clothing is covered — and about emoji and video-game designs that could infringe.
Key takeaways
- Look for demand and sales velocity around current/seasonal events — here, last day of school building from April toward May and June — rather than guessing niches.
- Read BSR charts as demand evidence: repeated drops mean sales, and the creator treats below 100k as trending and below 50k as strong.
- Do not copy a selling design; extract the niche and spin original variations for teachers, students, grade promotion, pre-K/kindergarten and summer school.
- Reuse proven visual elements from sellers — retro/groovy fonts, apples, pencils, sunglasses, palm trees and summer imagery — in your own designs.
- Check trademarks via USPTO-linked checks before using phrases, emojis or video-game-like imagery, and avoid brand-like designs.
