Merch By Amazon Niche Research In Other Marketplaces (T-Shirt Ideas Merch Informer)-Print on Demand

About this video

Note: summarized from the Bengali caption track. RJ Martinez explains how to find profitable Merch by Amazon niches in marketplaces other than the US — the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan — using a new marketplace option in Merch Informer’s Merch Hunter. Under Product Research he sets filters such as top 100 (or 200, 300 or 400) best sellers, category/product, excluding specific brands, a BSR range (he gives 300,000 to 800,000 as an example), and price, noting around $20 or $25-$30 as a good range, then searches the German (DE) marketplace as the demo. He discusses language: many sellers upload translated designs rather than the original, English designs can also do well in Germany, but he advises against Google Translate because it can be inaccurate. Personally, he says he would only outsource translation after making more than $1,000 a month from that marketplace, unless he already speaks the language. Clicking the eye icon on a result shows data he values, above all BSR consistency: if a design sells consistently, a unique, different design of your own in that niche can sell too — not a copy. If BSR is poor or inconsistent, he generally avoids the niche unless he has spare upload slots or a high tier. He also advises doubling down on a niche you already rank in by searching your own ranking keyword, watching for new sayings, illustrations or styles such as retro, and adding another design under the same brand so Amazon can surface it alongside your best seller. He closes by briefly repeating the search for France with the keyword ‘dogs,’ noting simple English-based hiking and dog designs doing well there.

Key takeaways

• Use Merch Hunter’s marketplace selector to research the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan instead of only researching the US store.
• Set Merch Hunter filters deliberately — best-seller band, category, excluded brands, BSR range and price — before running a foreign-marketplace search.
• Judge a foreign niche by BSR consistency; inconsistent or weak BSR is a reason to skip it unless you have spare slots or a high tier.
• Do not rely on Google Translate for translated designs; he says he would hire translation help only after a marketplace earns him over $1,000 a month.
• Expand a niche you already sell in by searching your own ranking keyword, spotting new sayings or styles, and adding a distinct design under the same brand.
