Where Can I Find A Print On Demand Niche? (Print On Demand Niche Research 2021 With Low Competition)

About this video

In this niche-research walkthrough, Martinez shows how to find a high-demand, low-competition print-on-demand niche. Step one is starting from a hobby/interest you know and using Amazon’s BSR (Best Sellers Rank) — a low BSR means a product is crushing it, and up/down movement shows consistent demand. Step two is MerchResearch.com / Merch Informer (he offers a free 3-day trial via his link/coupon): filter to US marketplace and standard t-shirt, leave the keyword blank or enter a niche keyword, then sort by ’newest arrival’ to see what just sold. He warns some newest listings infringe (e.g. a Phoenix Suns NBA design faking out the algorithm with periods) and will get accounts terminated — do not copy designs, use them to understand what’s selling. Working a Fourth of July phrase, he finds 280 results and notes results below 500 are a good starting point, with the first listings under 100K BSR doing well; he suggests swapping a proven phrase to an upcoming holiday. He repeats the process for golf/disc golf, riffing to Halloween golf, and highlights Merch Informer’s calendar of holidays/awareness/lasagna-type days (look three months ahead) and its Product Research ‘Movers and Shakers’ tool. He says the same research applies on Redbubble, Etsy and Pinterest, and even by checking what shirts sell in local Walmart/Target stores.

Key takeaways

• Start from a hobby/interest you know, then validate demand on Amazon with BSR: low BSR = selling well, and repeated up-and-down movement = consistent sales
• In Merch Informer/MerchResearch, filter US + standard t-shirt, search blank or by keyword, then sort by newest arrival to spot designs that were uploaded yesterday and already sold today
• Results below 500 for a phrase is his good starting point for low competition; the worked Fourth of July example had 280 results with top listings under 100K BSR
• Never copy designs or infringe — e.g. sports-team designs gaming the algorithm with periods will get an account terminated; get inspired and create a better/funnier original instead
• Use Merch Informer’s calendar (holidays, awareness and novelty days, looked at ~3 months ahead) and Movers and Shakers in Product Research daily to find upcoming niches; the method also transfers to Etsy, Redbubble, Pinterest and in-store observation
