    This question is way too broad. You need to think about what market to serve, how to serve them and then what products would make their experience better.

    Telling you a hot product to promote or range of products will be useless to you unless you find and come to know that market first.

    We recently created a very large site around organic products. Our initial thought wasn't, how can we squeeze cash out of our visitors it was, what content are they looking for and will their be commercial intent.

    The organic market is hot and hours of research showed those who buy organic products are happy to spend more on these products and are happy to pay for shipping and wait for them to be delivered. All very essential to make an Amazon site profitable.

    We tend to stick with creating sites around quite niche products. Very specific, usually either high priced or items people buy in bulk to get discounts or save on shipping.

      I agree, you have to narrow down your market and that is going to take research. If someone told me what was selling I would still do my own research because it's my business.

      Mark.

      I think probably not - it's just that so far, other respondents have, perhaps understandably, been a little more concerned "that the question is being asked like this" than they are "concerned just to answer it in the form in which it was asked".

      And with apologies, I'm afraid that's also true for me, because I also think it's a slightly misguided question to be asking, and a question to which accurate answers are actually unlikely to benefit the OP very much (because they certainly don't have a good record of helping other people who have asked the same question, and there are reasons for that).

      Please excuse my saying "rather you than I".

      I really think it's not such a good idea at all, for many reasons, including these:-

      (i) It's terribly competitive (and by asking which the best-selling products are, you seem to be trying to make it even more competitive? Those would probably mostly be products I'd want to avoid promoting, myself ... )

      (ii) "Amazon affiliate stores" tend to be aimed at attracting mostly SEO-derived traffic, and that's definitely a very poor idea for these reasons among others: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8659398

      (iii) It's an idea that completely "misses the point" of "what typically makes people buy affiliate products" (the short answer, in so far as it will ever go in to one sentence, is "reliance on the strength of a recommendation made by someone who the customer trusts" - in other words, successful affiliate marketing is almost inevitably a relationship-building business)

      (iv) They're very old-fashioned, these days

      (v) For most people, they seem to produce very poor results (sure, there are some older, well-known ones doing just fine, but starting one off in 2014 is a whole different proposition, and certainly not something I'd want to try, for myself, and I'm saying this as an Amazon affiliate)

      Here - in contrast to all the above - is a thread that really might help you a lot: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6608638

        I really enjoyed reading your answers, but I allow me to add some fresh angles.

        If one takes the path of just reviewing products and (hope to) drive SEO "buying traffic" that's more likely to convert, then yes, we could say that you're in the relationship-building business mostly. The trust factor here plays a major role, and it's crucial for you to own the product, test it, come up with a lot of pictures and information based on your experience using/testing the product.

        But there are other cool ways on doing Amazon affiliate websites, like:

        - finding a hobby and building a website around that. Let me give an example: I love the aquarium hobby. Can you thoroughly review a 2' x 2' inch plastic plant? hardly. Can you make a nice decoration theme with other 5-6 aquarium ornaments just to give others some cool ideas? It's probably easier and more pleasant

        - I know someone who's building a website that's matching fashion items based on gender, color, etc. Once you start playing with the tool, you won't even realize when 20+ mins & 30+ pageviews passed. It'll be a crazy & creative tool for anyone to use. Could it be monetized with Amazon affiliate links? It's probably easier.

        Creative affiliates will always find a way to make it happen. The rest will always try to find the "secrets" in all the shiny objects that seem so easy to "try" at least.

        I hope you'll find my input helpful.

        Best of luck!
