Top 5 Proven Ways To Find Money Making Niches With Print On Demand Businesses | Print on Demand

About this video

[Summary based on the Arabic-language transcript track; summarized in English.] RJ Martinez — who claims in the video to have earned royalties on over 200,000 print-on-demand sales over more than four years full-time — lays out ways to find money-making niches. (1) Merch Informer Movers & Shakers / Merch Research: scan daily/weekly movers, read BSR drops as repeat sales, click through to Amazon listings and keywords, and check trademarks before using an idea; simple sayings like a nap-themed shirt can sell weekly, and 20-40 such shirts build volume. He advises designing into niches you personally know to create less competition, not just copying a funny saying others re-layout. (2) Google Trends: search terms like ‘Halloween shirt’ over 12 months, 30 days or 7 days, use related topics and state data, and combine ideas — e.g., Halloween + Hawaii shirt leading to a pineapple jack-o’-lantern idea; pair this with Google Alerts for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or any niche. (3) Research directly on Amazon, Walmart and other shopping platforms. (4) Facebook Ad Library: search ‘shirt’ in the US, sort by how long ads have run — ads running 2-3 months likely indicate sales — then verify demand on Amazon via BSR. He also discusses trends vs evergreen niches (holidays, birthdays, Pi Day — claiming his Pi Day design sold 3 copies one day and 4 the day before), warns against infringing or uncomfortable trend topics, and recommends a system: research one day, design the next.

Key takeaways

• Use Merch Informer’s movers/research tools daily to spot consistent sellers via BSR drops, then verify keywords and trademarks on Amazon before designing
• Use Google Trends time ranges and related topics to combine ideas (e.g., Halloween + Hawaii into a pineapple pumpkin) and Google Alerts to catch trends early
• Use Facebook Ad Library longevity as a demand signal: ads running for months likely mean the design is selling profitably, then cross-check on Amazon
• Design into niches you personally know to differentiate, instead of re-laying-out the same funny saying as hundreds of other sellers
• Balance trends with evergreen sellers (holidays, birthdays, Pi Day) and work a system: one day research, next day design
