"Follow Your Passion And You Will Be Successful" ...Cliche'?...perhaps. But what if your passion Isn't profitable? Hmmm... Something To think about. It depends on who you ask. Some will say that when Picking A Niche this is the least important, others... not so much. Picking your profitable e-commerce niche by way of your passion may not be the best way to make a decision. There may be other elements involved when picking your niche'
I have a criteria list of how to select my niche and quite frankly it hasn't been based on passion, my passion though, and I have said this before is Internet business development. But when it comes to selecting a "niche"... passion for a certain product has had very little to do with it.
There is a article that was once written by Mark Cuban (Owner of the Dallas Mavericks) regarding this very topic, and he may or may not have a point. "Follow your passion is easiest the worst advice you could ever give or get...If you have been able to have some success, what was that key to that success?

At the end of the day we pick and choose what best works for each one of us.
