How To Find The Best Niches For T-Shirt Designs in 2023 

So many RU-vidrs claim to be no BS but all they do is waffle. Your videos genuinely help me every time and I find so much value in each one. I really appreciate you keeping it honest

Alek, thanks for the simple shirt niche information without an affiliate link for one of those expensive tools. I realize everyone needs to make a living (well unless you win the lottery) but it is disappointing to see "the best tool for XYZ" and then in two weeks they are pimping a different "best tool". Thanks for your work.

I really enjoy your authenticity & bluntness. My mom sent me one of your vids a couple days ago & I have been trying to “not lose momentum” this learning curb is definitely frustrating but your videos really help! Thanks!

Dude thank you so much for this video! More output is the answer! I was stuck on this idea. And you helped me move forward!

Outstanding content over and over THANK YOU ALEK!

Great video man, I didn’t see this one until now. Been in monk mode for a few days, so RU-vid isn’t really a concern to me right now. Congrats on 60k by the way, 60% of the way to 100k! Don’t over think it, just keep making great content man. Glad to be apart of this journey as a subscriber.

As always another great video!

appreciate all the great insight Alek, you are a gem!

Your content is really gold. I appreciate it.

This is gold. I’m watching this the second time and I’m ready to take action after researching for 3 years

Thank you, a refreshing video with no BS - subbed

As always, another great video. Carol

You are a rockstar Alek! Thank you for keeping it real, you are so motivational

Love your tutorials!

After watching many videos from “experts” it’s like I’ve been listening to cover bands in bars and you’re playing originals at Madison Square Garden. Thank you for existing. And I mean that sincerely. Gabe in South Florida.

Thanks again Alek. Learning something real and new each video. Appreciate it

*cancels paid tools while watching the video 😜😜🤷‍♀️

Oh it's so nice to have someone like you give some sound advice without me breaking into cold sweat!!

This information feels genuine and useful. I like that

Love your channel I am so inspired to open an etsy shop now after having it on the back of my mind for a while 😁😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰

You’re pure gold!

Fuck this was the best information so far, for trying to get a t-shirt business, I was stuck on how and where to even figure out the traffic on things man I love this....thank you so so so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Really appreciate your helpful and genuine tips for beginners! I've just started to try doing my own shop and hoping to make some passive income. Will try to update you guys after a few months!

try Printify if you dare: try.printify.com/alek

Hi I really appreciate your content. Very straight forward and easy to understand. I’m having decision paralysis with deciding on POD niche/ products on Etsy. Would you recommend starting with T-shirt’s or digital prints/art ? Thank you

Best channel on YT for POD without question 👏

Absolute gold.

Awesome channel! Seriously underrated RU-vidr

100% Genuine Content Creator Ever Lots of love from Kerala, India ❤

Awesome!

another banger

Thanks again Alek!

You are creating a lot competitors for yourself! LOL. Thanks for your great videos!

You're one of the only people I've seen saying to find multiple niches, which I appreciate. POD newbie here, selling mostly t-shirts and wall art along with some other home goods (mugs, blankets, etc). My question is this: Should I start an entirely new store for wall art? I hear that niching down helps Etsy know where to advertise more effectively which seems like it could make sense. My store is still newer with minimal (50-ish) sales and it feels like I could easily start over again if it would make sense to keep certain items separated. Any advice is greatly appreciated, and thanks for another great vid!

@alex please tell me how you edit your videos, - do you do it? - what all templates you use for the various animation and where do you get it - what software you use to record - how you position your camera for various angles and like how you do voice over. - what mistakes you generally make, your equipment or vocals - what frequency you post and finally - keyword research and thumbnail design idea generation ⭐️🔥 i know its a long list to ask but i want to learn from you, your style😊

Mindset reset, thank you!

Dude ❤

Thanks Alek, I cannot wait to set up my store in a few week's time...once I have consumed all your videos.

Thanks I have been enjoying your vids the past couple months. I also use Chat GPT sometimes but it has info only up to 2021 unless you pay to upgrade. Are you using the paid upgraded version to ask for niche ideas?

Nice contents, If I can I would like to suggest a topic for the next video “T-Shirt mock-up” are you use an online platform or something different? Thanks 🙏

Just keep posting. Just keep posting. Makes me think of Dori in Finding Nemo! 😅

I really am greatfull ❤❤❤

Great videos! I am trying to find the video that shows you how to re-size the images for download? Can you link to it please?

Thanks for another video a really learn something new that i should try long time ago. and i have a question i got a web site that sells ready to used files that are editable for tshirts like from anime, games, tv series and they also have a bundle pack and they are instant download like they will gave you a gdrive link after you pay..... so my question is can i resell their design to etsy? as bundles too?

I watch your Printable digital art etsy video I made my shop and I have 2 listings but not Singal sell

Hey Alex, thank you for your videos, very educational, can you suggest a similar site like esty, I cannot be able to sell from my country. Thank you .

thanks for the video, learn a lot! I am about to start my own shop. One question I have is, should I wait until I have couple of product before putting them on the store, or it is better to put it on once the product is finished.

Hello Alek! What about your 7 figure shop, is it also tshirts? How many listings you have now in this new shop? And in the 7 figure one?

can you make a video about how to set price

What advice can you give for a beginner on marketing

Thanks Gothamchess. This was as good as your Caro Kann course.

I'm a total newbie to this and your videos have ben brilliant to watch. One thing I'm still not sure if I'm 100% clear on is the printing and fulfilment of the shirts. You design and list them on Etsy but when someone buys a tshirt is this automatically telling a store like Printify "print this tshirt with this design and deliver it to x address" ? So Etsy isn't actually the market place it's sort of like a catalogue almost?

Thanks for your videos, Alek. I have a question for you. I may have missed it somewhere in your video, but do you choose to have a single Etsy store? or do you have multiple?

hi. thanks for all the inspiration and work you put in your videos. my biggest question for e.g. Tshirts Print on demand - how to handle returns? (for example, wrong size, not happy with color or print). as i understand it, the returns end up with me and i refund the amount. is it wiser to exclude returns - how does that affect the perception of my store? and/or is that subject to legal requirements? thanks for your advice - and did you cover this subject in a video? @alek

which holiday website you are using here?

Such great info on your channel! I have an old etsy shop from 2015. Is it worthwhile to revamp that shop to start selling tees or is better for etsy's promoting algorithm to start a new one? I haven't used the old shop in more than 7 yrs.

can i get a updated video? some of etsy site has been updated

What margin do you generally go for? I feel like pricing is a key factor in the listing and it's not easy to keep the prices low enough without eating too much of your margins

Can u share ur photoshop script ?

Where is the best place to get t-shirt mock-ups, I can’t find any anywhere

When creating a store, do you recommend a store be niche itself - like only selling motorcycle related product, or can it be varied? With motorcycle and photography shirts in the one store?

what's the name of your new etsy store?

What’s the goal for # of listings uploaded per month? Let’s say to get to 100 sales a month?

Hey Alek, thank you for your videos, can I just check, is it ok to list LOTS of shirts with the same title and tags, I'm identifying niches and making lots of variables of similar designs, researching my own title/keywords and then using those titles over and over, I can't imagine making a new set of keywords for EVERY shirt....am I on the right lines here? Thank you in advance. x

I have really been wanting to get into print on demand on etsy, but After looking on etsy I am dismayed. I am in the UK and most of the shirts on there are selling for between £7 and £14. I cannot even buy them for that price from the UK's cheapest PRD supplier? How are they doing this and making money?

How many listings per week would you suggest when beginning your business? What is minimum by your opinion?

Like I said earlier, he does not choose niches. Niches choose him. 😎

Some of the shop examples you showed toward the beginning look like they are just using the same simple mockup of just the shirt on a hanger, etc. Have you found this to be true on a lot of the best selling shops? I know a lot of people say model mockups work better as a first listing photo, but I have found many shops that just use a flat lay. Have you found this to be true as well? Is the whole "model mockup on Etsy" just a bunch of hype?

Hello there! Thanks buddy!

In this video you say you don't use paid tools, but in a later video you mention Alura. Have you changed your opinion? Just wondering.

suggest me a niche that you think is going to work for me to get out of tire 10

I don't agree on your niche philosophy. But overall your content is good

It must be very expensive to have many designs on Etsy ?

The forest is an excellent place to find fish 😂

8:02 Don't understand...they're selling that shirt for below my p.o.d. cost even before their discount. Same for pretty much every shirt on that page.

what is your 6 figure store name

Im still think there's a combination of things, not only the design. You need a nice design, of course BUT: You need a good price, you need a short time of delivery, you need a excelent description, and probably run ads also. And not only that, you need to spend quite long on the description and setup for each listing, wich doesnt let you upload that many listings you wish. Im thinking on create an app or extension Who gives you the oportunisty to multiupload listings. Let's say you create 20 different designs for the sale niche and you know all of them its gonna have the same setup and description ..you have to do One by One... Its gonna be great to have a tool that allow you to do 20 listings (for example( with the same setup for all at the same time togheter... Maybe that tool or extensión already exist and I didnt find It...but if not, I THINK its a great idea ..

I can't see how this shotgun strategy can work with Etsy, where you have to pay for every listing.

Hi I'm hunting elk. Don't mind me.

Funny for many months I've been watching RU-vid's and these people always say find a niche how crazy is that when you can just do more if you have the ideas why sit and just restrict yourself to one niche

Or start a channel about side hustle, get some affiliates and grift people.

Thank you for not pronouncing it 'nitch'

6 figures each year but doing youtube ? Sus...
