Top Print On Demand Niche Research Ideas #7 | Merch By Amazon Niche Research-Print on demand sell
About this video
In the seventh video of his niche research series, RJ Martinez stresses that the examples are inspiration, not designs to copy, and presents several niches he says are in demand. The first is funny, sarcastic wife sayings about husbands, illustrated by simple text-based shirts joking that raising a husband is exhausting; he flips the angle to husbands’ shirts too, pointing to a wordplay design that layers ‘hot’ over ‘psychotic’ in a message about loving his wife, and frames the whole category as evergreen income that sells outside the holidays. Next is ‘first dad’ Christmas designs for new and soon-to-be fathers, which he likes because proud first-time dads photograph and share the shirts on social media, creating a viral effect. He then highlights Christmas gnomes scaled across a whole family — mom, dad, and kids — noting gnomes have sold across Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Halloween versions for a couple of years, but warning that heavy scaling by competitors means sellers need an outside-the-box angle such as a work Christmas party. The last niche is the Shiba Inu dog, boosted by the popularity of its associated meme coin; he urges caution because using the coin’s actual logo without rights risks infringement, while general dog designs and funny sayings about the breed are the safer route. Throughout, he repeats that every design must be double- and triple-checked for trademarks and copyright.
Key takeaways
- Use other sellers’ shirts for inspiration only — build original designs in the niche rather than copying the artwork or wording
- Sarcastic spouse sayings work in both directions: wives joking about husbands and husbands joking about wives, and they sell year-round
- First-Christmas-as-a-dad designs benefit from buyers proudly posting photos, which can drive extra organic sales
- Gnome family sets sell across many holidays, but the niche is crowded, so a distinctive occasion or angle is needed to compete
- Ride the Shiba Inu dog’s popularity with original dog designs, not the meme coin’s logo, and verify trademark and copyright status before uploading
