Untapped Goldmines: Discovering Profitable Low Competition Niches for Your Print on Demand Business

About this video

The creator presents several low-competition niche examples found with Merch Informer, showing search-result counts and all-time sales/BSR charts as demand proof for each. Examples include a funny swimming/pool pun shirt (198 results for the phrase he searches), ‘I’m here because you broke something’ for funny mechanic/handyman buyers (107 results), which he says can be adapted to plumbers, electricians, gardeners, or chefs by swapping the tool in the hand, and ‘We are pregnant, but mostly her,’ a pregnancy/dad announcement shirt (100 results) that he says sells especially in Q4. He also shows an American-born/Jamaican-roots tree design (397 results, 4.2 out of 5, 105 ratings, selling since 2019) and ‘I used to be a people person until people ruined it’ (536 results). His repeatable method is to paste a proven phrase or long-tail keyword into ChatGPT and ask for five or ten more funny ideas like it, then trademark-check them in TMhunt or the Merch Informer trademark check. He claims this research approach has generated over $350,000 all-time and over 100,000 products sold on his Amazon Merch account, pitches his Top Research Design Vault at $10 a month, and demonstrates Merch Hunter filters (exclude brands, around 10 reviews) to surface current sellers such as Fourth of July fighter-jet designs.

Key takeaways

• Validate each niche with Merch Informer result counts and all-time sales charts rather than guessing demand
• Adapt one proven concept across occupations and audiences by swapping a tool, animal, or audience in the design
• Use ChatGPT to generate five to ten variations of a proven funny phrase, then trademark-check every variation before use
• Pride and identity designs (e.g. American-born with Jamaican roots) can sell steadily for years when buyers are proud to wear them
• Use Merch Hunter with brands excluded and low review counts to find newer, lower-competition sellers
