Hey Juna! Just wanted to say thanks AGAIN for your great tips. One of your niche trend ideas from last year has netted me thousands of dollars and is still selling quite well with a BSR in the low 200-100k. I had no access to advertising at that time, either. So the sales were organic and based on, I'm thinking, the design and keywords. This tee now has almost 175 reviews, it is an "Amazon's Choice" in its niche and some people have even posted photos of themselves in the reviews wearing the shirt. This is all to say, your trend recommendations and design tips WORK! I haven't been at this as long as you, Juna. Just about 2 years. (I'm in tier 2000 with only 1/2 slots filled.) Of course, not all of my designs knocked it out of the park like the one mentioned above. But they do sell! I would say the biggest thing that helped is to design in the niches I know well from my own life, interests, hobbies, etc. When you're "into" something, you know what's funny about it. You read about it. You can discuss it with friends. You know the buzz words, etc. I know absolutely nothing about the world of horses. It's a huge seller, of course, but I probably won't touch that topic. For me, it would just take too long to learn enough about that world to design a clever, unique and timely t-shirt. (I'm sure people do explore unknown niches successfully, but that method just hasn't worked for me.) Also, I know you've gone over this before about niches, Juna, but it's worth repeating: the niche of "Teacher" is broad. "Teacher who likes coffee," is more specific. "Teacher who likes coffee & cats," is niched down even further. You could (and probably should) niche it down even further. It's likely if you design a shirt for a teacher in general, you'll have an enormous amount of competition and it will be harder to rank. Remember, people DO search the niches! You want to design something they can't find at Target. So, to recap: niche down, and then niche down again in fields of interest you know well and FOLLOW JUNA'S CHANNEL AND HIS DESIGN TIPS! With some patience and creativity, you'll have some success! Thanks, Juna!

Hello. I'm new to the t-shirt business, I'm in the process of learning and I appreciate some advice: What might be better to start with, to have a good variety of motifs on different topics or to focus the motifs on a single theme. Thank you. David

[@DetourShirts]

Great question..... well if you knew exactly what theme will work for you than the 1 theme thing would be awesome but most of us don't know, so we have to do lots to figure that out.

[@artefactoshechoamano3723]

@@DetourShirts Yes, here in Colombia, as in many other places, the theme of pets is in fashion and I have thought of starting with that niche, although I have many designs of different themes.

[@GoWestYoungK9]

Great info, as always! My only tip (being a newbie at this particular thing) would be to give yourself a day or two, after finishing a design, to see if you still like it when seen with "fresh eyes". I have had designs I was super happy with that, upon going back a few days later, I thought were pretty poor. (I have to do the same with my writing... maybe it's just a personal idiosyncrasy!) If I still like it a day or three later, then I upload it :-)

[@DetourShirts]

Great tip! Yeah... no need to rush it.. do your best

[@bl8388]

So true! My, "Agent Orange Soda," design seemed great until the next morning when I spewed my breakfast all over the monitor as I realized it sounded like a chemical weapon. Fresh eyes, at least the next morning, are important. (finishes wiping breakfast off the monitor)

@@bl8388 Oh my gosh, that's too funny. 😅That would make a great video, though: great t-shirt design ideas that turned out to be not so great.
