Looking to get into Amazon selling, but not sure what kind of products you should start selling?
Or, are you thinking of starting a niche site using Amazon's world-class affiliate program?
Either way, the options are practically endless.
I mean, look at how many categories and subcategories Amazon has.
They sell just about everything that's legal to sell.
There's still a lot of money to be made with the platform, whether you're selling products, or using affiliate links to monetize blog posts and product reviews.
But you'll need to find a niche.
Some products and categories are pretty obvious, of course, but a lot of the time, the real money is hiding in places you wouldn't expect it.
In a recent blog post, Nichehacks lists five unusual niche categories, along with links to specific Amazon products.
You just might find the perfect thing to sell or promote among these off-the-beaten-path options.
