Top 5 Niche Research Ideas You Need to Succeed on Merch by Amazon and Redbubble #24!

About this video

RJ Martinez demonstrates niche research in MerchResearch.com (with Merch Informer and Productor mentioned) for Merch by Amazon and Redbubble, sorting by newest arrivals and reading BSRs — lower means more demand/sales — to spot ideas he can make his own version of, not copy. The creator claims he started about five and a half to six years ago and has sold over $300,000 in royalties all time on Merch by Amazon. The niches he develops are: (1) lunch lady/lunch ladies, including sub-niches mixing it with St. Patrick’s Day and Easter; (2) ’every bunny’s / everybody’s favorite’ plus an occupation, swapping in PE teacher, math teacher, nurse or lunch lady, and checking whether a searched phrase has no design yet; (3) ‘He is risen,’ a faith/Easter phrase he says is trending with low BSRs across the front page; (4) passenger princess, extended to passenger prince, backseat driver and road trips; and a bonus April Fool’s Day/birthday idea for next year. He also urges mixing video games with holidays and sub-niching down in competitive areas, warns repeatedly not to design for things like the Final Four without rights and to check trademarks/copyrights, and shows a monthly spreadsheet workflow — niches, sayings, layout and inspiration images for designers — aiming to do a week’s research in one day and work roughly 10-25 niches a month.

Key takeaways

  • Use MerchResearch sorted by newest arrivals and BSR: lower BSR signals demand, and a searched phrase with no matching design can be an opening.
  • Lunch lady is a workable occupation niche, especially sub-niched with holidays like Easter or St. Patrick’s Day.
  • Swap occupations into proven phrases — ’everybody’s favorite’ PE teacher, math teacher, nurse or lunch lady — to generate variants.
  • Extend a proven saying sideways: passenger princess to passenger prince, backseat driver and road-trip designs.
  • Batch research into a monthly spreadsheet and one focused day, and never copy designs or use themes you have no rights to — check trademarks and copyrights.
