Incredible Research Method for Print on Demand 2023 – 7 Step Technique That Generates Winning Ideas

Can use these methods for any Niche that you  want out there depending on what holiday you   want or any occupation or whatever it is.  Follow these steps and this will help you   get designs that are more likely to sell than if  you just came up with random things. Let’s go!!

Hey everyone thanks for joining me on this video.  My name Is Juna with Detour Shirts. In this video   I’m going to teach you my seven step research  method that I came up with here’s what it looks

Like right here I’m gonna go over it step by step  and I’m going to use Halloween as the niche you   can use any Niche that you want but since it’s  close to Halloween I’m going to show you how to do

This to come up with lots of different ideas for  Halloween so this is very timely you can use any   of these ideas for yourself I’m not going to show  you how to design which is the last part to create

A design I have lots of things on my channel to  learn how to do designs and come up with designs   this is just how to generate different ideas and  come up with ideas that I think will really sell

On the platform that you’re selling on so let’s  get into step one right now so Step One is pick   a niche so you can pick anything in this case in  this video I’m going to pick Halloween because

It’s close to Halloween but if you’re having a  hard time figuring out what Niche to pick come   to my downloads page right here detour shirts  downloads here’s is a free holiday niches of   the month and you can look through these every  month if you don’t know what to pick or if you

Want don’t want to do holiday things I also have  a hundred Evergreen niches literally hundreds of   ideas here so you can pick any one of these any  one of the holidays anything that you want to   pick maybe something that you like maybe there’s  a sport that you like maybe there’s something

That you’re a fan of whatever it is so step one  super easy pick a niche step two is do a search   on that Niche so do the search on the niche for  the print on the Mad site that you’re doing it on

For example if you’re on Amazon and you’re selling  on Amazon you can just type in Halloween t-shirts   on Amazon and here are some results right here are  the things that Amazon says that they want you to

Buy whether it’s the very top selling or not you  can look at the bsrs if you have DS Amazon quick   view but just look at what’s on page one if you’re  on Redbubble same thing Halloween t-shirts you can

See what’s best selling on here same thing every  print on demand side you can type in the search   bar and find out what’s selling what what that  print on demand site wants you to see is their

Best sellers or at least the things that are they  want you to buy right I’m gonna use you can also   use apps I’m going to use pretty merch Pro Plus  here if you have that I’m going in the research

Tab and I’m going to type in Halloween right here  and if I type in Halloween and hit search you can   see a grid view of all the top selling Halloween  stuff now some of these you can’t do like this

Halloween right here this is actually Michael  Myers stay away from trademark and copyright stuff   but a lot of these things are great ideas on what  is selling currently on Amazon in this case right   so that’s step two just do the search on wherever  you want you can use apps you can use Merchant

Form or you can use product or whatever you want  to use if you have it you don’t have to use those   things like I said you can just go straight on  here on Amazon and do a search in the search bar

Right so that’s step two do a search for the niche  that you’re designing for step three is to look at   the top 50 to 100 designs whichever is on page one  usually page one has at least 50 designs on there

I think Amazon has 50 plus and so does Redbubble  on here you can see it just goes on forever so I’m   just gonna do the top 60 and what I like to do  is actually drag them over to a separate place

So that I can move things around now this is going  to help later with the other steps you don’t have   to do this you can do this mentally in your head  or you can just write down things if you want to

But I like to look at it visually so I’m going to  take these top 60 or so and I’m going to drag them   over to Affinity designer and I’m going to show  you what it looks like when they’re all together

Okay here I am in Affinity designer this is still  part three you can see I’ve dragged them all in   here I just drag them over you can click on it  and drag and put it into Affinity designer and

Here are the top 60 designs from that Halloween  page and I’m going to zoom in here and basically   you’re visually looking at all of them so I took  away all the Clutter from that page and I can just

Focus on design now this really helps me because  I’m more visual but if you can just use that page   and want to write down things in your uh use words  better then you can do that just have at least 50

To 160s in between 50 to 100 here and you can just  look at them right so that’s step three and this   really helps for step four so let’s move on to  step four and I’ll show you what I do here after

This so step four is looking for connections or  groupings with all of these here so I’m going to   show you very quickly how to do this so it’s just  like you’re playing a game is you’re trying to

Match things together like a matching game right  so let’s go through here you’ll see this number   one spot it’s a skeleton are there any other  skeletons yeah there’s one right there there’s   one right there there’s one right there so we have  a group of skeletons and we’ll put it together on

Skeletons uh next thing I’ll go go in and look at  the next one monsters is there any other monsters   are there more ghosts let’s look for all the  ghosts and different things too right you can

Look for like are there a bunch of vintage sunsets  we’re looking for graphic things that we can put   together um maybe there’s a big face here there’s  a big is there another big face no but this is a

Easy costume and so are these right just one big  picture on the costume so we also notice that most   of these are black so you might want to do your  designs on black for some of these so I’m going

To move over to the groupings that I did so you  can see some of the groupings that I came up with   so out of those I kind of use it visually and put  them together in groups so here are the skeleton

Groups look at all these skeletons right these are  out of the top sellers for Halloween according to   pretty merch and according to Amazon people want  to buy skeletons there’s a lot of skeletons for

Halloween ghosts there were a lot of ghosts things  on here right and so on so these are the some of   the ones that I found ghosts pumpkins cats there  were a lot of Halloween and cats make sense black

Cats people love cats easy costumes like I said  before skeletons hands not just the body but the   hands are doing different things pointing at a  cat and stuff like that big faces so again you

Can put big faces of maybe animals or um it’s not  on here but it’s gonna I’m skipping ahead because   I’m thinking about different things that you could  do instead of this right and Halloween pattern   letters let me zoom in here and you can see  there’s Halloween patterns inside these letters

Could you spell something else out with these  kinds of letters these patterns Okay so so that   is step four just doing all the grouping so you  can do this any way you want I like to do it again

Like I said visually and kind of put them together  but if you just want to write down and take notes   that’s great too you can do that so here they  are all the groupings that I came up with there’s

Probably more but I I want you to find ones that  have at least three or more right because if it’s   just one then that may just be a one-off thing  but if there’s three then then we can see that

More people are buying these kinds of things right  these groupings of things and that can help you   come up with ideas for something that would fit  that group so that’s step four let’s move on to

Step five so step five is brainstorming new ideas  for these groups so we see what’s selling here we   want to do something different we don’t want to  copy these things but we want to come up with

Different ideas that are around this group around  skeletons for example so let me show you how I did   I’m gonna do them for two of these not for all  of these because they’ll take too long but I’m

Gonna do it here okay so the grouping is skeletons  I’m going to zoom in just a little bit so you can   see a little better so think of different things  that people may want to buy around skeletons that

Aren’t here and here are some ideas that I came  up with skeleton playing video games we don’t   see a skeleton playing video games video games are  really popular we can match that up together right   skeleton playing football and there’s one playing  baseball so of course we could have one playing

Football or soccer or whatever right a skeleton  playing guitar people love music people love the   guitar why not put a skeleton with a guitar  here skeleton walking with Bigfoot Bigfoot’s   really popular on print on demand why not Mash  those things up so we’re trying to match things

Up come up with different ideas that aren’t here  we don’t want to just copy this and you know have   a skeleton that says never better like these two  are kind of the same right so we don’t need to do

That we can come up with our own ideas that’s  not there and this is one way to kind of fill   a hole in the market right after you do this  you’re going to want to go on Amazon and see

How many people or how many of these designs have  a skeleton playing video games is there a lot if   there is maybe you want to do something else you  don’t also don’t want to copy people even though   you came up with this idea without looking  at a skeleton playing video games right so

Um and if you’re having a hard time coming up  with ideas for this group you can always go to   chatgpt and use Ai and type in give me an idea  for a Halloween T-shirt with skeletons in them

Right and they will come up with a bunch of ideas  and you that’s another way to come up with ideas   right use use AI to come up with this if you can’t  come up with these ideas on your own but having a

Lot a lot here you can kind of play off of these  things right like here’s one with a cat why not   do one with a dog here’s one that’s a teacher why  not do one that’s another occupation here’s one

You know having on a swing with the sun why not  put them on a slide or something like that just   think of something a little bit different  so that’s step number five and that’s just   brainstorming ideas that you match these groups  so let me do another one so you can see that’s not

Just skeletons here’s the easy costumes idea right  there’s a bunch of ideas here well okay let’s see   they did a banana that’s yellow why not I why not  do different fruits maybe I can do an apple maybe

I can do it great in this case you want to do a  grouping of stuff because if it’s an easy costume   people usually go trick-or-treating with somebody  else and they can be a group costume or a family

Costume why not come up with something here here’s  a mustard right why not do other condiments that   match it here’s ice why not do things that like  there’s ice on here we could do water we could

Do uh Earth we can do leaves we can do fonts or  texts that have those things in it because that’s   what this is it there’s ice it says ice and  there’s ice on it right so maybe you do slime

And it looks like slime right here’s pretend I’m  a superhero maybe pretend I’m a different type of   food a different animal a different thing right  and again do your research is there one already   that says pretend I’m a apple or pretend I’m a  pickle if there is just do something else real

Easy uh different occupations right we don’t see  that here but maybe there’s a simple costume of a   doctor or simple costume of a prince or a cowboy  right we’re just going off of this idea of simple

Costumes and just think groupings in this case  I think Halloween is a great idea to do grouping   especially Halloween and Christmas this Q4 time  where people may buy in bulk you might want to

Think of different groupings how can I do this in  a group or in a series and that can really help   you come up with even more ideas and again use  that search to make sure that nobody else is doing

It so that you can have your own thing and kind of  find that hole in the market so this is the most   important part I think is step five and that is  brainstorming new ideas that relate to the group

That’s already selling so I think this is very  important that you’re not just coming up with new   ideas off the top about your head you’re coming  off ideas that have a group that’s already selling

Well in that Niche all right step six is optional  and it’s only optional if you want to put words on   your t-shirts not a lot of t-shirts on Amazon  have words but a lot of t-shirts on Redbubble

And T public don’t have words are just a graphic  so this is optional you don’t have to have words   on t-shirts but it can help get you sales so let’s  do the I’m here on fixo’s the quote generator you

Can also come up just come up with funny puns on  your own maybe rhyming words on your own maybe use   chat GPT to come up with ideas I’m here at vexos  that have the quote generator and I can just type

In things like skeleton Halloween and maybe you  want funny maybe you want funny skeleton Halloween   let’s do that right and it’s going to come up  with some and you can also use some of those

Things so we did like a skeleton playing football  for Halloween so we can do that as well and have   even more uh you can see here pulling to be wild  skeletons just want to have fun and so on and so

You can put these on your shirt with the skeletons  let’s do the one that’s more specific okay so I’m   gonna put skeleton guitar because that was one of  the things that we saw them playing at the guitar

So I’m going to hit next and again you can do  funny or cynical or motivational we’re just gonna   do it like this if I if I want funny I can do  that so skeleton uh Rockin skeleton strings right

We can draw a skeleton playing the guitar and then  put these words in here or have a skeleton playing   with a guitar and put skeletons guitar shred or  haunted guitar melodies or whatever it is right

Tons of ideas now that you have the design idea  you can come up with words to match that idea see   so that’s why the brainstorming these steps go in  order because now that you have the design idea of

These words will match the design idea and this is  with research because we did the research with the   popular things that are selling in the niche that  you’re doing right all right so let’s move on to

The last step and that is Step seven so the last  step step seven is to create designs that people   want to buy and how do we know they want to buy  it well we can look at these again and kind of

Look at the style right so this one looks like a  label that looks like a label maybe you want to   do a design that looks like a label for something  else that’s not here so that’s a different people

Are buying label things you can buy label things  here says pretend I’m a superhero as Big Tex   um on a shirt here using like a condensed font  look like a handwritten font so maybe you want   to use a handwritten font for something else  maybe it’s not pretend I’m a superhero maybe

It’s some other words but you can do it  something similar you know but a little   different so the style is what you’re looking for  people are right here they have words that have uh   ice has ice on it like I said before it could  be slime that looks like slime or something so

We’re kind of copying the same style but not  copying the exact same thing we’re not we’re   not just doing another yellow mustard label  we’re not just doing another banana label   we’re taking these ideas now but doing it in  a style that we know sells again back to this

Right we have a white skeleton on a black  T-shirt doing something so maybe people   like that kind of stuff so we want to  do a white skeleton on a black T-shirt   um playing video games or playing football or  whatever it is after we do more research on here

If none of these are done on Amazon then we can  do this in this kind of style right where there’s   no legs here maybe it’s just the top half of the  skeleton playing at the guitar right so that’s

What you do come up with those ideas and if you’re  an artist I think this will really help kind   of guide you on what to do and if you’re using  AI this can kind of help you too you can start

Typing in I want a skeleton playing video games  right there you go so you can use AI you can draw   your own you can look for clip art on a canva or  kiddo and do these kinds of things so it’s really

Helpful to kind of go in this order to know what’s  selling in the market use use what you have here   these groupings from the top sellers right  so all in this order top sellers group it   down make your that Niche so this is kind of  niching down right you have the Halloween niche

Within that Halloween Niche you have the ghost  Niche or the easy costume Niche and within that   you have even niching down even further so you  have different fruits eat of easy costumes in   the Halloween knits now it doesn’t have to  be Halloween you could do this with any Niche

Right we just did it with Halloween but you could  type in there in pretty merch for Thanksgiving or   for Christmas or for New Year’s or for football  or for whatever it is right Outdoors this works

For any Niche try these seven steps and I think  it’ll really help you come up with better ideas   for the print on demand site that you’re on now  it’s not a guarantee that it will work but it’s

More likely that it will sell because we have  the data that other things in that Niche and   sub Niche that are actually selling so there you  go that’s my seven step research method I’m going   to share this with you on my digital downloads  page on my website it’ll be absolutely free so

So if you want to download that just to look at  what it looks like you can do that just I’ll put   a link in the description so you can find it now  you can use this again with any Niche and the last

Thing that you have to do on here is to actually  design it so I’m going to put this video right   here on how to design with AI I did a tutorial on  how to do that where you can find that just type

In those things like you found with those the sub  niches that’s a great video to watch thanks again   for watching and as always guys keep creating  and keep learning I’ll see on the next one
