NASA Artemis II Is BLOWING UP — 7 POD Niches to Upload Before Everyone Else
About this video
R.J. Martinez calls the NASA Artemis II moon-mission window one of the biggest print-on-demand trend niches of the year, saying millions are searching for Artemis shirts, hoodies and stickers, and that he has already uploaded designs in the niche that are getting traction. He explains the basics of POD for beginners (design goes on a shirt or mug, a company like Amazon, Redbubble, Gelato or Printify prints and ships, the seller just collects money) and notes that trend niches do the marketing for you on Amazon and Etsy because people are actively searching. He breaks down why the niche is a gold mine: search interest spikes with every NASA announcement; most NASA imagery is public domain, though he repeatedly warns to never use the trademarked NASA logo and to always double-check trademarks and copyrights (‘if you don’t understand it, don’t do it’); there are multiple audiences, which become subniches. The seven subniches he lists are: ‘back to the moon,’ first woman to the moon, Canadian in space, Artemis Generation, retro/vintage moon, science teacher / STEM teacher, and funny space puns (e.g., ‘Houston, we have a problem again’). He shows research via Google Trends (related queries like ‘mission to moon,’ ‘moon mission 2026’) and Amazon’s Hot New Releases, pointing to strong BSRs (17K, 13K) as demand evidence, then demonstrates generating AI designs with Ideogram from a prompt like ‘back to the moon 2026’ and swapping the text for other subniches. He closes with a pitch for his $10/month Top Research Design Vault, claiming 1,920 researched niches with keywords, competition scores, design angles and AI prompt ideas, plus 20 new niches per week.
