Make Money While You Sleep with These Crazy Evergreen T-Shirt Niches

About this video

RJ Martinez walks through low-competition, evergreen t-shirt niche research on Amazon.com using Merch Informer, stressing that research works the same on Etsy, Redbubble or TeePublic and that sellers must double-check trademarks and copyrights. He explains BSR (Best Sellers Rank) charts: a line that stays consistently low means a design is consistently selling. Examples examined: ‘Solving puzzles is my superpower,’ a simple text design with a four-colour puzzle graphic (57 results for the long-tail keyword, first sale in 2021, strongest year 2022, still selling in 2024); ‘We’ll run for hot chocolate,’ which he expects to spike toward winter/Q4 (78 results, first sale 2021, roughly 2-3 sales a month rising from August); a pediatric physical therapist design, ‘Helping tiny humans bloom’ (105 results, first sale 2021); a simple text IT joke, ‘Funny how when I walk into the room the computer suddenly starts working’ (196 results, first sale 2020); and ‘Mathletic’ — a math/athlete definition shirt he calls an overall pick with 4.5 stars from 518 ratings (202 results, first sale 2018, consistently selling since 2021). He notes offering the same design in light and dark versions can lift sales, says 92% of his own designs have sold well on black shirts, uses Merch Informer’s Movers and Shakers daily feed for fresh ideas, and suggests running ads on proven evergreen designs to keep them ranking into Q4.

Key takeaways

• Judge evergreen potential from the BSR chart: a rank line that stays consistently low over years signals steady sales, not a one-off spike.
• Target long-tail keywords with very low result counts — the examples shown had only 57, 78, 105, 196 and 202 search results.
• Simple text-based designs can sell for years; you do not need to be an accomplished artist to enter these niches.
• Offer the same design for both dark and light shirts (switching text colour) to widen the buyer pool.
• Always double-check trademarks and copyrights before creating in any researched niche.
