Go with what interests you, what you know and understand.
Attend trade shows.
Do not just surf the web and end up on Allibaba like everyone else and their dog.

Hi @Seller_fQwc64PVj0HEp,
Steve from Amazon here. First, welcome to selling with Amazon and to the Forums! In terms of advise for what products and categories to sell in, I'll leave that to other sellers to offer advise as I am unable to. However, I am dropping some super helpful threads and resources below with tips on getting started.
Top nine tips for new sellers on Amazon
Below you can find helpful resources for creating listings and offers. If a product you are trying to sell is already listed, you will create an offer on the existing detail page. However, if it is a brand new product to the store, you will create a listing.
Below you can find helpful resources with getting started in the Fulfill by Amazon (FBA) program as well as how to send inventory to Amazon.

Create shipments with Send to Amazon
Once you have your listings/offers created, and inventory sent in, there are several factors/actions to consider as you are starting to scale your business. To start, you will want to ensure that you have a strong detail page with effective search keywords. If you have not tried advertising yet that is also something you can consider. Take a look below.
