Print On Demand Niche Research 2024: Unlocking Secrets for Success
About this video
Martinez presents evergreen niche research for print on demand, saying he has done print on demand full time for about seven years, sold online for over 10 years, sold over 100,000 products and made close to $350,000 all-time in the US market, with one t-shirt he created making close to $30,000. Using a tool he calls ‘merchant former’ (its product research / movers and shakers section), he works through examples: sneakerheads (‘shoe / sneaker head’), where he reasons that people paying over $200-$300 a pair for sneakers will buy a matching funny shirt; the simple text design ‘I’m the oldest twin, I make the rules,’ which he says can be made in about 30 seconds using tools like Canva and whose BSR dropping to around 41K he reads as a sign of a potential evergreen seller; adapting a proven phrase across niches, taking ‘sorry for what I said while docking the boat’ (for boat owners/fishermen) and remixing it for plumbers or sneakerheads; the nurse saying ‘cute enough to stop your heart, skilled enough to restart it,’ which he says first sold in 2018; and ’needs more garlic,’ a minimal design at a $19.99 price point whose BSR around 74K-87K he interprets as selling roughly one to a few copies a day. His recurring point: simple designs aimed at a clearly understood buyer beat over-engineered art.
Key takeaways
- Use the research tool’s movers and shakers / product research section as an effectively unlimited source of niche ideas
- Simple text-based designs can become evergreen sellers — the ‘oldest twin’ design could be made in about 30 seconds
- Remix a proven phrase into new niches: ‘sorry for what I said while docking the boat’ can be adapted for plumbers or sneakerheads
- Target buyers who already spend heavily in the niche, like sneaker collectors paying over $200-$300 per pair
- Read BSR drops as algorithm signals of a potential seller and revisit saved designs months later to check their trajectory
