    The niche depends on your passion. e.g: If you love kitchen accessories niche, you can start kitchen accessories niche. If you love gadget niche, you can start gadget niche.

    Hey,

    himanuzo is right, choose a niche that interests you - it makes it much easier to write content relating to your niche if you do this.

    You should also consider a niche that's in demand. Something that's bought on a regular basis is a good place to start. i.e. replacement products.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks
    Eleanor

    Just pick one. You probably won't make much but you need to learn what works and what doesn't.

  • It's hard to write about things you know nothing about.

    Why not start in a Niche that interests you and that you can create a compelling interesting site about?

    Yeah just pick a niche that you are passionate about. There is no right or wrong niche.

    Just keep your site heavily niche focused though. - Don't sell shoes and then sell other random things like toy helicopters. You will find an unfocused site harder to rank.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Well electronics are only 4 percent at Amazon so I would try to go with something else. I really don't even care what I sell on Amazon, as long as the demand is there and I can make profit I'm on it. How about single cup brewing machines. Like coffee?

    I'd disagree about picking a niche that interests you, if I were you I'd do a search on Amazon on the warrior forum and learn as much as you can from previous posts on the subject. If you are still confused there are at least a dozen or so Amazon systems out there as WSO's that will give you some idea on where to get started. Two that spring to mind that I'd recommend are Gaz Cooper's and Sojourn's WSO's.
    If you put up a site and leave it to luck, you aren't likely to make any sales.

      Go through some of the categories at Amazon and sort it by popularity. You will see a bunch of possible niches that way. Once I find a product that is popular I make sure there are lots of similar products so I can fill my site with many reviews from the niche.

      I usually pick products that are over $100, have at least 10 reviews, and are rated highly. Of course you will still want to analyze your competition before moving forward with a particular niche.

    I think Tom has a good idea - over $100, means you'll get more comission. Less costly products will sell more but it is harder to make money $0.75 at a time.

    Consider the traffic that certain products will receive.

    Sojourn - has 2 really good books (WSOs) on Amazon selling - I highly recommend them!
