I built a simple tool to help you find a niche for starting a Shopify store

Im in the ecomemrce/Shopify space and I keep coming across posts looking for inspiration on categories or "niches" to start a Shopify store in.

Back when I started my first store, I chose products that fit through letter boxes so that delivery would be simple. This narrowed down my product options and I subsequently found my store niche this way.

Anyway, over the past few days I have created a simple tool called StoreMaker to help those looking for an answer to "What category/niche should I start a store in?". I took a large product taxonomy, a bit of traversing and knocked together an inspiration directory.

I plan on adding to it with more ideas and continue to expand it based on interests. To be transparent, the links may be affiliated if you do click through in aid of hopefully funding the tool and building it out further.

Anyway, hopefully it helps someone and let me know what you think.

    I think this article has not been elaborated very much and needs to be updated with more profound content. Try looking at Avada.
