one is gonna be profitable and trending niches all right over the years of me doing print on
demand have talked about this for many many years right um staying ahead of your competition and in
these niches and paying attention to what's going on i made a recent video about talking about the
little rainbow right the rainbow trending in all niches right now that is something that's big you
have to pay attention to little things like that because then next thing you know you can basically
get a trending holiday and then the rainbow and put apply that and then your next thing you know
you'll make sales okay because you're paying attention to what the market wants what the
customer wants it's that simple but it just takes work okay and paying attention to what's going
on on social media and just researching on your marketplace one of the best marketplaces that i
like to jump on and do research is amazon.com and you can even do research like on etsy or redbubble
or wherever it is even to google search that works as you start to make sales with these designs
i always recommend that you invest into custom illustrations okay this is one of the ways that
i've always as i start doing more and more print on demand and making t-shirt designs i always try
to figure out a way to improve and be better than i was last year okay so i have created top selling
designs and niches that are just phenomenal and they're really freaking awesome and they make
sales right because they're the best in the niche so when you're going into these trending niches
you want to figure out okay what can you do to be better better than everyone else in this niche and
coming up with just with the best illustration in a niche okay or just being the first funny text
based design in a niche that can just make all the difference and make it to make sales okay but
it does take effort and it does take work number two make sure that you're using trending keywords
in your niche for your design okay so if you wanna figure out what are people searching for in your
niche and give them what they want okay one of the ways that you can use like a free tool would be
the amz suggestion expander or use the search bar the search bar on amazon is going to be your best
friend okay you probably heard me say this several different times right and the next thing that i
recommend is one of my favorite tools to use okay is helium 10. okay when you do a reverse
acen search the celibro feature with helium 10 it tells you what customers are searching for
and how that product is ranking for those long tail keywords which is very powerful if you know
what you're doing and you know what i'm talking about right that's one of the ways that i have
used that tool and rank products on the front page okay and this applies to kdp too as well if you
follow me over there but that just one of the ways that i jump into a new niche and figure out okay
what can i do personally to make sales in this niche okay i want to make money i want to be the
first i want to have low competition i don't want to be competing with thousands and thousands of
people i just want to get that first sale and then i can start competing with thousands and thousands
and thousands of people okay so that's the goal is to have really awesome keywords in my listing
where customers can search and see my product but also you have to make sure that you're creating
something that your customer wants okay if you're creating stuff that your customer doesn't want
they ain't gonna want it okay and you have no sales it's because you know you gotta
figure it out one thing could be basically they don't like you know the design they don't like
how the design is okay another thing is the keywords on your listing they suck you need
to figure out how the customer is searching gonna search for that product and give them
what they want okay once you figure that out then you'll start making sales i want to add
something to that too as well one way to find new niches is when you're doing your research
okay when you're finding keywords sometimes you enter a keyword and there'll be no product there
okay if you do a keyword search and there's no product for that phrase or saying
okay on a shirt that means there's no competition and customers are searching for that product on
amazon that means you need to give them what they want and that's some of the ways that i've created
top like best sellers and niches because i'm doing keyword research and i find these niches
that are like untapped okay it takes work in order for you to find niches with no competition
that's why it's hard for people to understand that because some most of the people are not
working really hard to figure out okay what niches you know need a product need a design
need my design on a t-shirt so they can buy number three is going to be promote your designs
okay this can be amazon advertising or this can be you know social media
marketing okay as far as promoting your designs on like advertising your designs on
amazon okay amazon advertising if you do not have access to that yet on your merch by amazon account
you need to figure out a way to obviously get out of the lower tiers so they can give you access to
amazon advertising it's a very very powerful way to make your first sale okay there's i've made as
far out three or four sales just today alone on new designs that i have uploaded you know a few
days ago some of them a few weeks ago some of them a month ago okay they're all you know spread out
a little bit but when you make your first sale on your design it's a good it's a great feeling
right because you created something that somebody obviously wanted and they made a purchase which is
awesome right you need to learn how to do that and i have created content on my channel check

cool and it's helped me make more sales more money rank my products faster on the front page which
that's what everyone wants because if you get on the front page you make more money right all
right next is going to be social media marketing okay there's so many different ways that you can
do this facebook instagram instagram influencers any type of influence or youtube there's so many
different types of ways that you can promote your products on social media one of the platforms
that i've been growing recently is pinterest pinterest is freaking amazing it's the number
