Top Print On Demand Niche Research Design Ideas 2021 #2 (Merch By Amazon & Redbubble Tutorial)
About this video
RJ Martinez presents his top 5 print on demand niches in this research video, repeatedly warning not to copy designs pixel-for-pixel or rip vectors and to check trademarks. Niche 1 is Alien + Bigfoot combined — funny concepts like an alien removing a Bigfoot costume, ‘I Hate People’ with both flipping off, and ‘I Don’t Believe In Humans’ with alien and Bigfoot shaking hands — which he describes as consistent weekly sellers even at high BSRs. Niche 2 is mixed martial arts T-Rex/dinosaurs cross-niched with combat sports: karate, jiu-jitsu (‘Jiu-Jitsu-saurus’), Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing and kung fu, scalable from one illustration into many variations. Niche 3 is Alien + pizza/American food (pizza, tacos, cheeseburgers, corn dogs), with a strong warning that many top results use Disney/Pixar Toy Story aliens and Pizza Planet and must not be infringed. Niche 4 is mushroom psychedelic, where elaborate story-telling illustrations dominate and are hard to copy. Niche 5 is Native American, built around vintage portraits, feathers, flags, and statement sayings like ‘No One Is Illegal On Stolen Land’ and ‘We Should Have Built The Wall,’ with a caution to ensure rights to any person’s image.
Key takeaways
- Cross-niching drives the ideas: Alien x Bigfoot, T-Rex x combat sports, and Alien x American food each create fresh, funny concepts from two proven niches
- Consistent sellers do not need low BSR — several examples sell weekly at around 1 million BSR or 2-3 times per day at stronger ranks, per the creator
- One strong illustration can be scaled into many listings by swapping the sport, food, or saying while keeping the core character
- Trademark/IP risk is explicit: avoid Toy Story aliens/Pizza Planet in the alien-food niche and verify rights for Native American portraits
- In mushroom psychedelic, detailed story-telling illustrations are presented as the moat — simple text works but unique art lasts longer and resists copying
