00:00- Did you know that there
are 17 trending niches
00:02that are guaranteed to
make money this year?
00:05Yes, I have crawled through
all the statistical data
00:08and I have used it to
identify the top 17 niches
00:11that are super trendy and
making money right now.
00:15Plus, as you will see,
you can make money off
00:17of these trends in all sorts of ways,
00:19such as selling print on demand products
00:22or digital products,
00:23or making AI generated
videos for YouTube and TikTok
00:26and even by earning affiliate commissions.
00:29So then, let's get started
00:31with trend number one,
Japanese art and culture.
00:34Yes, so Google has this incredible tool
00:37called Google Trends.
00:38You can type in search
phrases and search topics
00:40and it will tell you how much interest
00:41there currently is for them.
00:43I particularly find it useful
to look at the last five years
00:46of data because this shows you
whether a niche like the Hulk
00:49comic book character is popular,
00:51and in this case we can see
00:53that it's actually trending downwards,
00:55whereas if we instead compare
it to Japanese culture,
00:58you can see that since 2022,
01:00this topic has been trending upwards
01:03and so has interest in Japanese art
01:06been trending upwards too.
01:07And interest is just as strong as ever.
01:10And there are lots of different ways
01:12that you can take advantage
of this trend to make money.
01:14Yes, so take for example,
print on demand products.
01:17On marketplaces such as
Red Bubble and on Etsy,
01:20Japanese art is very popular
01:22when printed onto gifts.
01:23Take this recently trending mug on Etsy.
01:26It features a famous Japanese art piece.
01:28It is a woodblock
painting that was created
01:30by the now deceased Japanese
artist, Matsumoto Hoji.
01:34And because it's so
old, over 200 years old,
01:37the painting is now in the public domain
01:39and so now anyone can legally download it
01:42and resell it onto products like mugs.
01:44And cool Japanese artwork
like this doesn't just sell
01:47onto gifts like mugs and T-shirts.
01:49Nope, it also sells
great as digital products
01:52such as this collection of printable
01:53historical Japanese wall art, pictures,
01:55which is currently trending on Etsy,
01:57but there are lots of other places
01:59that you can make money
off of this trend as well,
02:01such as Ali Express.
02:03Yes, if you're a dropshipper,
you can come on over
02:05to Ali Express and you'll see
02:07that Japanese street wear is very popular.
02:09For example, take these
Japanese streetwear pants,
02:12which are currently very trendy
and making lots of money.
02:15Plus for people out there
running video content businesses
02:18on YouTube and TikTok,
02:19this is also a trending niche
that's getting lots of views.
02:22For example, take these quiz videos.
02:24These are particularly popular with people
02:26who are learning Japanese
like this quiz video,
02:29which got nearly 2
million views on TikTok.
02:31And by the way, if you'd
like to learn the method
02:34for making money from simple
quiz videos like this,
02:37be sure to check out my video here,
02:38which explains how TikTok
has started giving out big
02:41paychecks for videos like this.
02:43And this video also has
a step-by-step tutorial
02:45on how to make quiz videos
with Canva and Chat GPT.
02:48But that's not all because
another popular style
02:50is to create list videos
by using stock videos
02:53and creative commons videos
to create a cool list,
02:56such as the best places to visit in Japan,
03:00or best food to eat in
Japan, that sort of thing.
03:02Okay, trend number two, retirement.
03:04Yes, as you can see on Google Trends,
03:06interest in the topic
03:07of retiring is trending up each year,
03:10which actually makes a lot
03:11of sense when you think
about it since, well,
03:13more and more people
are retiring each year,
03:16and this is also a trend
03:17where you can make money in it
from lots of different types
03:20of online businesses.
03:21Take print on demand stores.
03:22Retirement gifts are a very popular niche
03:24on marketplaces like Etsy.
03:26For example, this funny mug
here is insanely popular,
03:30which is why it's had over 400 reviews.
03:32And take this digital printable
retirement theme poster.
03:35It too has had over 400 reviews
03:38and if you're an affiliate marketer,
03:40this is one of the highest paying niches
03:42because you can promote
products that help people invest
03:45and save money for their retirement.
03:47For example, take the
capitalist exploits hedge fund.
03:50They have a popular paid insider group
03:52where they reveal their
investments to private investors
03:55so that they can invest
their money privately
03:57alongside the hedge fund.
03:58And their affiliate program
for this has insane commissions
04:01between $1,500 to $3,000 per sale.
04:05Alright, then, trend
number three, AI chatbots.
04:08Yes, while Google Trends data shows
04:11that interest in AI
artists somewhat flatlined,
04:14interest in AI chatbots,
04:16like Open AI's Chat GPT
04:18and Google's AI chatbot, Bard AI
04:21and Microsoft's AI chatbot Copilot,
04:24is just as high as ever and,
well, looks to be growing.
04:28And for this trend here,
there is a lot of money
04:30that can be made by creating videos
04:32with tutorials on how to use them.
04:34Because while the ad rates
for AI videos are super high,
04:38and I know this because I made
a video about Chat GPT here
04:41on YouTube and the ad rates
I got for it were very high.
04:45I made over 20 US dollars per 1000 views,
04:48which, again, is very high since
most videos on YouTube earn
04:52between $2 to $8 per 1000 views.
04:55So then, trend number four, politics.
05:00that politics is not
everybody's favorite cup of tea,
05:03but if you're someone
interested in politics,
05:06this is pretty much the best year
05:07to make money in the niche, since well,
05:10the USA is having its election this year.
05:12And even if you don't
live in the USA like me,
05:15as I live in New Zealand, let's be honest,
05:18when the USA is having its election,
05:20pretty much everybody on the internet
05:22is talking about politics.
05:24Now, I'll be honest, currently
if you look at Google Trends,
05:27it doesn't look particularly trendy,
05:29but if you go back to the 2020 election,
05:31you'll see that as it got
closer, interest massively grew.
05:35So statistically speaking,
05:37it's probably gonna do the
exact same thing this year.
05:39And there are lots of ways
05:41to make money from the
trending niche of politics.
05:44For example, no matter
05:45what your political beliefs are, on Etsy,
05:47products aimed at people
across all political spectrums
05:50are popular on the marketplace.
05:52Take for example this trending print
05:53on demand T-shirt here.
05:55It's had over a hundred reviews.
05:57And take this trending
print onto my T-shirt here.
05:59This one's had over 300 reviews,
06:02and if you're a content
creator on YouTube or TikTok,
06:04you've got lots of options
06:06to make money from this
niche too, since, well,
06:08as you can probably guess,
political commentary
06:11and news videos can go super viral.
06:14And here's the thing, news
videos can have very high ad
06:17rates even on TikTok.
06:18Take this TikToker here
06:20that consistently makes
over $25,000 a month
06:23from TikTok's ad program.
06:25They focus on making news videos.
06:26In their Reddit post explaining it,
06:28they recommended that if you
want to earn high payout rates,
06:31consider making news videos.
06:33Plus, if you wanna make money
in a less controversial way,
06:36quiz videos can be a great way to do that.
06:38Like this world trivia TikTok
quiz account does here.
06:41For example, look at this popular
quiz video that they made,
06:44which has had nearly 2 million views.
06:46It's a simple quiz
video where people watch
06:48and test out their knowledge
06:49of different political
leaders around the world.
06:52So then trend number
five, the Boho style, yes.
06:55If we take a look at Google Trends,
06:57you'll see that interest
in the Boho style aesthetic
06:59is experiencing a huge
resurgence this year.
07:02The Boho style is one that
focuses on natural materials
07:05and bold color palettes,
07:07and it's strongly influenced
07:08by counterculture movements
like the hippie movement.
07:11Within the drop shipping community,
07:12Boho jewelry like these popular
bracelets on Ali Express
07:17and on e-commerce platforms like Etsy,
07:19Boho inspired merch are extremely popular,
07:22such as the streaming Boho
inspired T-shirt here,
07:24which has had over 300 reviews.
07:27I love the style, admittedly,
07:28probably because Canva
has lots of graphics
07:31which makes creating clothing
designs like this much easier.
07:35And if you'd like to learn
07:36how I and others create trending
print on demand products
07:39like T-shirts using
Canva, you should be sure
07:42to check out my free print on demand ebook
07:44and I will have a link to that ebook
07:45in the video description below.
07:47So then, trend number six, decluttering.
07:50Yes, the decluttering trend
is currently in the midst
07:53of a big surge of interest
07:54and the trend is showing
no signs of slowing down.
07:57This is a very popular trend
currently on video content
08:00platforms like TikTok right now
08:02with people vlogging themselves,
decluttering messy parts
08:06And on Etsy, digital
and printable products
08:08in this niche are becoming
08:09increasingly popular with customers,
08:11like this trending printable
declutter checklist planner.
08:14Alright then, trend
number seven, deep work.
08:17So if you've never heard of deep work,
08:19which probably sounds funny by the way
08:21in my New Zealand accent, it
means that you have the ability
08:24to work deeply on a task
without being easily distracted.
08:27As you can see here on Google Trends,
08:29interest in learning, this skill
08:30has been steadily on the
rise with interest in it
08:33as high as ever showing
no signs of stopping.
08:36And for me personally,
I think the easiest way
08:38to make money in this
niche is to take advantage
08:41of advertising revenue on video content
08:43platform sites like YouTube and TikTok,
08:46because currently study with me videos
08:48where you film yourself
in deep concentration
08:50while studying are very trendy,
08:52with some videos on TikTok
getting over 10 million views
08:57Plus, you can also hop onto the trend
08:59of creating study videos
by creating quiz videos
09:03that help people learn specific
study subjects like this
09:06TikTok account does here
by focusing on quizzes
09:09for medical school students.
09:11These videos get tens
09:12of thousands to hundreds of
thousands to millions of views.
09:15So then trend number eight,
the preppy aesthetic.
09:19Yes, as Google trends shows
09:21interest in the preppy
aesthetic niche is currently
09:23on the rise and it is very trendy.
09:26The preppy aesthetic is positive, sunny,
09:28and often features upbeat warm colors.
09:31Pink, blue and white are
very common color palettes
09:33in this aesthetic and there
are plenty of opportunities
09:36to make money from this trend
09:37with Ali Express dropshipping.
09:39For example, bracelet making
kits in the preppy aesthetic
09:42are currently very popular,
09:43and if you come on over to
Etsy, you'll find that a lot
09:46of the current bestselling wall art,
09:48including print on demand wall art
09:49and downloadable wall art,
fits into the preppy aesthetic,
09:53such as this cute bestselling printable
09:55wall art poster here.
09:56Okay, then, trend number
nine, stained glass designs.
10:00Yes, this is just a quick one,
10:01but as Google trends shows,
10:03stained glass designs have been trending
10:04for the past two years
10:06and the trend looks as strong as ever,
10:08and I'm honestly not quite sure why.
10:10There's probably some pop
culture reason why this
10:12trend has taken off.
10:14If you know what's caused it,
10:16let me know in the comment section below.
10:18But either way, it's on trend right now
10:20and there are lots of
bestselling printable stained
10:22glass patterns on Etsy.
10:24Hobbyists download these
10:25to help them create beautiful
stained glass art pieces.
10:28Plus, the stained glass art style
10:30also looks really cool
10:31when it's combined with
print on demand mugs,
10:33with new stores having success
10:34taking advantage of this trend right now.
10:36And if you're doing Shopify
Ali Express dropshipping,
10:39this style is also trending
on Ali Express right now
10:42with window privacy film stickers.
10:44Okay then, trend number 10,
saving money and budgeting.
10:48Yep, even though inflation
may have cooled down,
10:51stuff is still expensive.
10:53As a result, Google
Trends definitely shows
10:55that ever since inflation started,
10:57the topic of saving money has trended up,
11:00which might be why YouTube's
algorithm has started
11:02recommending like crazy to me
11:04Caleb Hammer's financial
budgeting auditing videos.
11:07And also why his YouTube
channel has exploded
11:10and is growing like crazy.
11:11Budgeting is a hot niche
11:13and something else that's
really interesting,
11:15is we can see that this
has caused a big surge
11:17in other money saving topics,
11:19which previously had
started to become unpopular,
11:24You can see that during
the pandemic in 2020,
11:27interest was high, but
afterwards it trended down,
11:30but now it's becoming trendy again.
11:33And here's another example.
11:34Take a look at thrifting.
11:35Interest in it had been low,
11:37but now it's becoming trendy again.
11:39And something else that's
really interesting in this niche
11:42is that this is one where you can get paid
11:44to basically give stuff away for free.
11:47Yep, many budgeting apps like YNAB
11:50have generous affiliate programs.
11:52YNAB will pay you $6 to $10
for each person you refer
11:57that signs up for a free trial.
11:59Yes, this is pretty much the
dream as an affiliate marketer.
12:03You get paid even if your
referrals don't buy anything.
12:06Okay, then, trend number 11, knitting.
12:08Yes, you can see that in
Google Trends each year,
12:11knittings' popularity as a hobby grows
12:14and it's steadily on the rise,
12:16and this is a trend which
has multiple different
12:18opportunities to make money in it.
12:20You can create print on demand merch
12:21for knitters on Red Bubble and on Etsy.
12:24These make for great gifts
for people that love knitting,
12:27such as this best selling
knitting mug here.
12:29And if you're an Ali Express dropshipper,
12:31trending items pop up here regularly,
12:33like this automatic knitting machine.
12:35This video showcasing it
on TikTok has gotten over
12:3811 million views and over 1 million likes.
12:42All right then, trend
number 12, video marketing.
12:45Yes, take a look at it in Google trends,
12:47interest in video marketing
is trending way up
12:50and it's not app specific.
12:52You can see that interest
in YouTube video marketing
12:54is on the rise and you
can see that interest
12:57in TikTok video marketing
is also on the rise too.
13:00So if you're considering
starting a social media agency
13:03this year to make money,
then picking video marketing
13:05as your service of choice
makes a lot of sense.
13:08Plus, it's also one of the
most trending topics on TikTok.
13:11Low budget, basic chatty videos
discussing tips like this
13:15It recently got over 400,000 views.
13:18All right then, trend
number 13, customized gifts.
13:22So you can see in Google trends
13:23that interest in customized
gifts is increasing each year.
13:27And it looks like that this
trend is going to continue.
13:29And it's not a surprise to me
13:31'cause this matches up perfectly
13:32with Etsy's own internal
data that they have released.
13:35Yes, so for example, Etsy said recently
13:38that in the past year searches
13:39for custom dog gifts rose by 18%.
13:42And if you would like to take advantage
13:44of this trend on Etsy,
13:45there are two ways that you can do that.
13:47The first is to create customized
digital downloadable gifts
13:50to get inspired with
ideas to create your own.
13:52I'll show you two
examples of popular items.
13:55The first is customized pet portraits.
13:57You can see that this
super trendy item here
13:59has had over 7,000 reviews.
14:01And the second is customizable
minimalist human portraits.
14:05You can see that this is even trendier
14:07with over 15,000 views.
14:09Most Etsy stores running these
will hire freelance artists
14:11that are based in lower
cost of living locations
14:14and they'll pick a traced art style,
14:15which means that experienced artists
14:17can create multiple pictures
for customers each hour.
14:20Plus customized print on demand products
14:22sell amazing on Etsy too.
14:23Like this popular trending mug
14:25that's had 17 sales in just 24 hours.
14:28But another way that you can
make money from customized
14:30gifts is through Ali Express dropshipping
14:33in your own Shopify store.
14:34Custom jewelry here is also very popular.
14:37Okay then, onto trend 14,
14:39urban planning and walkable cities.
14:41So walkable cities is the
concept that when urban planning
14:44that you design cities
to be pedestrian focused,
14:47to make being able to get around
14:49without a car safer and easier.
14:51And so after dipping
a couple of years ago,
14:54you can see that urban
planning is starting
14:56to become a trendy topic again.
14:58And in particular, you can
see that within Google trends,
15:01that interest in walkable cities
is absolutely trending up.
15:05And you can also see that
interest in public transport
15:08is trending up massively too.
15:10Now you might think, well gee, Sarah,
15:12how am I going to make money off of this?
15:14But there are actually several
ways that you can do that.
15:18For example, as part of this trend,
15:20people are increasingly
using public transport to get
15:22around without using cars.
15:24And so on print on demand
marketplaces like Red Bubble
15:27and on Etsy you can create gifts themed
15:29around transport geeks like
this really cute trained themed
15:32bestselling T-shirt on Etsy.
15:34All right then, trend number
15, high protein diets.
15:38So a high protein diet is when
you cut down carbohydrates
15:41and instead replace it with foods
15:42that are high in protein like
eggs, chicken, fish, or beans.
15:46And you can see that as each year passes,
15:48interest in it is steadily climbing
15:50and that this trend has
continued this year becoming
15:53more popular than ever.
15:54So then, how can you turn
this trend into money?
15:57Well, one way is by taking advantage
15:59of protein powder and meal kits.
16:01Lots of popular protein
powder and meal kits,
16:04like Protein Works have
affiliate programs.
16:07For example, Protein Works pays
out 12% commission in their
16:10affiliate program on each
order made for 30 days.
16:14And you can drive traffic to your content
16:16that promotes high protein
diets on Pinterest,
16:18as this is a very popular topic on there.
16:21And you can of course
create videos on platforms
16:23like YouTube and TikTok.
16:25Faceless recipe videos
16:26for high protein meals
are very trendy right now.
16:30Okay, then, onto trend
number 16, neurodiversity.
16:33So neurodiversity is a phrase
used when somebody's brain
16:36develops differently from the norm,
16:38such as people who have ADHD.
16:40And as you can see on Google Trends,
16:41there is an increasing
interest in people looking
16:43to learn more about neurodiversity
16:46and that actually tracks
16:47with other neurodivergent
search phrases as well,
16:49such as an interest in the topic of ADHD.
16:52Each year more people are being diagnosed
16:54with neurodivergent conditions like ADHD,
16:57which is therefore leading
to more people looking
16:59to learn more about it,
17:00but also a rise in people who are looking
17:02to embrace it and reclaim it,
17:05which is why on Etsy,
neurodiversity gifts are becoming
17:07increasingly popular like
this print On Demand T-shirt.
17:10And for people that are a part
17:12of the neurodiversity community
17:13and looking for tools to
help digital products like
17:17are also becoming increasingly
popular on Etsy too,
17:20such as this ADHD workbook,
17:21which as I mentioned in another video,
17:23has had over 8,000 purchases.
17:26Plus one thing that's often recommended
17:28for you viewers out there
17:30with neuros spicy brains,
17:31our fidget toys like fidget spinners.
17:34And so for Ali Express dropshippers,
17:36the supplies of these
are regularly coming out
17:38with newer interesting
products in the space,
17:41which as you can see
are selling very well.
17:44All right then, trend
number 17, the 2000s.
17:47Yes, if we check out Google Trends,
17:49we'll see it is no longer
the eighties or the nineties,
17:52that is the trending
decade, it is now the 2000s.
17:56And here's the thing, nostalgia sells
17:58and there is a reason why it sells.
18:00It's because as science has shown,
18:02our brains are literally
hardwired to crave it.
18:06And this is actually a pretty
popular niche on Ali Express
18:09as 2000s inspired gothic clothing
is very trendy right now,
18:14but if you'd instead
prefer to sell on Etsy,
18:16then I actually think that this is a niche
