Exploding Holiday Sales With Midjourney AI T-Shirt Design Ideas in 7 Profitable Niches 2023
About this video
He demonstrates finding t-shirt ideas inside Midjourney by opening Explore (hot/rising/new/top) and using its search bar, varying ending keywords such as ’t-shirt’, ‘sticker’, ‘design’ and ‘vector’, then expanding results for inspiration — while warning not to infringe others’ designs. Starting broad with Christmas, he sub-niches into Santa, reindeer, a snowboarding Santa, a T-Rex, and animals arranged/shaped like Christmas trees, a format he says sells on Amazon Merch, Etsy and Redbubble. He then works through gaming (including gamer/anime girl and retro arcade ideas, noting growing esports demand), anime (trying a random ‘watermelon’ mix), pets (dogs, cats and other animals, e.g. a bulldog drinking beer in a circle design), sports starting with baseball during the playoffs, camping/travel (campfire, RV, trees, sunsets), Hanukkah — which he calls underserved and says he has designed for before — Halloween (build now for next year so designs can rank), Easter (bunnies, eggs, cross-niche ideas like a buff/powerlifting bunny) and Valentine’s Day (hearts, teddy bears). He stresses simple designs sell, suggests ChatGPT for prompt ideas, notes a sheet of teddy-bear stickers could be split into individual designs, and claims he has made $30-40 profit from one sticker on Redbubble.
Key takeaways
- Use Midjourney Explore and its search bar for research, mixing keywords like t-shirt, sticker, design and vector
- Start with a broad holiday/niche and sub-niche down into specific characters, animals and activities
- Cross-mix niches, e.g. an animal dressed for a holiday or shaped like a Christmas tree
- Check Amazon, Etsy or Redbubble for demand before committing to a design
- Keep designs simple; a single sticker sheet can be split into multiple individual designs
