I Found a Hot Niche - Designed It in Kittl (LIVE)

About this video

Martinez walks live through his niche-research and design workflow. He starts on Amazon Hot New Releases — cross-checking Etsy — looking for repeated patterns rather than single listings, arguing that if something sells on Amazon it will likely sell on Etsy because of Amazon’s traffic. Patterns he spots include chickens, ‘in my showgirl era’ shirts, Halloween showgirl designs, and the ‘six seven’ Gen Alpha slang he says is all over social media. He also notes statement/political-style shirts related to Charlie Kirk and a ’turning point’ theme, while warning to stay away from RIP/tragedy designs Amazon does not allow. He screenshots several ‘six seven’ examples (ice-cream drip/baseball, math-problem and pocket designs), pastes them into ChatGPT, and asks it to generate new angles and niche mashups — e.g. pickleball, bakery, gaming-pixel, birthday, Halloween, and a retro motel ‘checking in to the six seven’ idea. He then opens Kittl, uses the Merch by Amazon print-on-demand template (which auto-populates sizing, pixels and DPI), and generates designs with Kittl AI, naming Ideogram and Nano Banana among its models. He shows removing backgrounds, upscaling and cleaning up with the eraser — noting busy designs can need manual cleanup — and ends with four concepts: a patch logo, a pickleball paddle design, the motel design (his favourite) and a pixelated gaming design, ready to resize and download.

Key takeaways

• Research Amazon Hot New Releases for repeated patterns and cross-check them on Etsy
• Feed screenshots of trending designs into ChatGPT to generate fresh angles and niche mashups
• Use Kittl’s Merch by Amazon template so canvas size and DPI are set automatically
• Kittl AI can generate, upscale and remove backgrounds, but busy designs may need manual eraser cleanup
• Move fast on trends: create the design and get it listed while demand is hot
