Most "best TPT niches" articles are guesses. This one isn't: we track every keyword teachers type into the TPT search bar — 40,396 keywords, measured daily — along with how many resources compete for each. Below are ten searches with real demand and unusually low competition right now.

For context: common terms like "math worksheets" have millions of competing resources. Everything above has real buyers and a fraction of that competition.
How to use these
Don't just copy a keyword into a title. Check what page one currently looks like (product quality, review counts, pricing), make something clearly better for that exact search, and use the keyword verbatim in your title. If page one is full of listings with under 20 reviews, a well-made resource can rank within weeks.
Why this list goes stale
Niches close as sellers move in — that's why we score all 40,396 keywords nightly. The Opportunity score (0–100) combines demand, competition and trend so you can find next month's version of this list yourself.
