Print On Demand Niche Research - Research Method To Find New Niches On Amazon Merch (Tools)

About this video

RJ Martinez walks through his Merch by Amazon niche research methods, split between a free route and Helium 10, which he says gives two free searches a day and which he uses mainly for Cerebro, cited at $37 a month via his link. He starts on the Merch Productor dashboard’s daily trends, which reflect Google Trends searches, googling unfamiliar surging phrases to understand them — using a Blink-182 ‘I miss you’ example to show why song-related and other trademark-risk trends should be avoided despite strong BSRs on Etsy, because they can get a Merch account suspended. He then uses MerchResearch.com for free, sorting by newest arrivals to find new shirts with BSRs, and spies on competitors’ titles, brands and keywords even in niches he will not design for. The core technique is following long-tail keywords from a selling shirt through Helium 10/Cerebro to find related phrases with search volume but very few competing products, then searching those phrases on Amazon to find niches with no or few Merch shirts. He repeats that low result counts mean a first sale can put a listing on the front page, and to always check trademarks.

Key takeaways

• Check the Merch Productor dashboard daily trends every day for surging searches, then Google any unfamiliar phrase before considering it.
• Avoid song, celebrity and other trademark-risk trends even when their BSR is crushing — he says that is how Merch by Amazon accounts get suspended.
• Use MerchResearch.com sorted by newest arrivals to spot new niches, then spy on competitors’ titles, brands and keywords for keyword ideas.
• Use Helium 10 (two free searches a day) and Cerebro to follow a seller’s long-tail keywords into adjacent niches with search volume but low competing-product counts.
• Target long-tail keywords where results are low: he argues a first sale can rank you on the front page, driving more traffic and sales — and always double-check trademarks.
