I'm from The Netherlands and we have some huge websites which is well known by every Dutch person and they sell A LOT in many many niches. I'm interested in building my own Ecommerce store (via Shopify) for the main reason of having more control then on Amazon etc.
I've searched the niches which are linked to my hobbies but even the top 5 of websites is good looking, nice reviews and also active on social media. How should I proceed? Just find hobbies on internet, pick one and check if there is a business in it even though I don't know anything about that hobby/niche?
I'm following the topic of @G_Alexander and he recommends the following in how to pick a niche;

I'm following the topic of @G_Alexander and he recommends the following in how to pick a niche;
When picking your Niche for an ecommerce store:
- Think about your hobbies when picking a product (and try to be between $100 - $500 per order retail price point)
- Use Google "Keyword Planner" to find out if your primary product search keyword gets at least 10,000 searches per month
- Or if the combination of your top two keywords gets 10,000+ per month
- Use Google "Keyword Planner" to find out if your primary product search keyword gets at least 10,000 searches per month
- Once you find a keyword that is a hobby and meets that criteria... go type it in google and check what the top three results are (organic results)
- If the 1st result looks like crap (old website, no customer reviews in place, no social media accounts)... then you're onto something.
- If the 1st result looks good but the 2nd and 3rd look like crap... you still might be onto something.
- If all 3 of the top results look like amazing websites with lots of traffic, customers, reviews.... then your niche may be too competitive... so start over with another hobby product.
