Top 5 Print On Demand Niches You Need to Know
About this video
Martinez presents five print-on-demand niche ideas found via Amazon research with Merch Informer, judging each by BSR charts showing first sale dates and repeated drops he reads as consistent sales. 1) ‘No bike riding today’ — a sad stick figure; he suggests improving it with a bike or mountain bike with flat tires; 246 results for the phrase, first sale Feb 9, described as evergreen. 2) ‘Excuse me, the bird feeder’s empty again’ — a squirrel eating from a bird feeder; first sale Feb 6, 2025; about 402 results. 3) ‘Heart first grade team’ — back-to-school teacher/student heart design, first available 2021, which he says can be scaled to second, third, fourth grade and beyond; about 204-241 results. 4) ‘Don’t fart’ — a crying dog lifting weights at the gym; first sale November 2024 (Q4) and selling consistently into the new year; about 335 results; he notes its title seems packed with unusually many keywords. 5) ‘Three Rex’ — a T-Rex in glasses for a third birthday; first sale September 2024, slower at Christmas, consistent from January 2025; about 472 results; he notes sellers creating variants just by changing text color. He stresses the Amazon research applies to Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic or a website, promotes his Top Research Design Vault ($10/month as stated in the video), demos Merch Hunter filtering (exclude brands, ~10 reviews) to find more ideas including 4th of July fighter-jet designs, and reminds viewers to check trademarks/copyright.
Key takeaways
- Five validated ideas in the video: no bike riding today, squirrel/bird-feeder empty, first grade team heart, don’t-fart weightlifting dog, and Three Rex third birthday
- Read BSR charts for proof: repeated drops after a recent first sale signal a consistent, often evergreen seller
- Scale a winning concept across variants — grades for teacher shirts, or text-color variants for birthday designs
- Check result counts for competition (roughly 246 to 472 results across these examples) before entering a niche
- Use Merch Informer Merch Hunter with brand exclusion and low review filters to surface low-competition designs, and always check trademarks
