💰 How to Profit from THIS Viral Protest Trend (Print on Demand Guide)
About this video
The creator frames protests in the USA against Trump deportation policy as a trending print-on-demand opportunity, saying — his framing — that passionate people want to express themselves and demand for protest-themed merch is rising. He says he is not trying to make it political and looks at it from both sides: protesters, supporters at home, and opponents. His research method is to read news headlines, articles and protest photos for sign slogans that could become shirt ideas, citing examples he sees such as ‘Immigrants built this country,’ ‘Immigrants make America great,’ ‘Education is not deportation’ and ‘Brown Lives Matter.’ On Amazon he checks ‘Brown Lives Matter’ all-time sales, then uses his long-standing method of sorting by newest arrivals and looking for a BSR, which proves a new design has already sold. He finds repeated sales for ‘Mexicans Ain’t Going Anywhere’ (spelled out as MAG), including a version sewing the American and Mexico flags together. Warning that that exact design now has heavy competition, he plugs it into ChatGPT for five similar ideas — ‘Dreamers ain’t going anywhere,’ ‘Latinos ain’t going anywhere,’ ‘Immigrants ain’t going anywhere’ — turns one into a prompt, and generates art in Ideogram, noting AI hands often come out wrong. He claims one of his own designs in this trend made a sale within its first day live on Amazon Merch on Demand. He repeatedly stresses checking trademark and copyright, and mentions free Photopea for background removal and editing.
Key takeaways
- Mine news headlines, articles and protest-sign photos for slogan ideas people are already carrying in public
- Sort Amazon results by newest arrivals and look for a BSR to confirm a newly uploaded design has actually sold
- When one phrase is crowded with copycats, use ChatGPT to generate adjacent variants for different audiences instead of copying it
- Turn a chosen variant into an Ideogram prompt to generate original art, and check AI output carefully, especially hands
- Always double-check trademark and copyright before uploading a protest or slogan design
