#1) Can You Talk About This Type Of Product Everyday?
When you choose your products for your very own Amazon.com Affiliate Website, you want some products you can enjoy talking about. On my Nerf Gun website, there is a Zombie Strike Series, so guess what, I talk about Killing Zombies with Headshots, along with other features and reasons to purchase the certain Nerf Gun. In other words, I had fun writing my reviews for my products.
There are over 480 Million Products on Amazon.com, I know for sure there is something on there that you would have fun talking about.
Once you find one product you wouldn't mind talking about, there is going to be something related to it on Amazon.com, matter of fact, there should be tons of related products, its up to you to choose the ones you find the most relatable that you want on YOUR website.
You are the master of your website!
#2) Do You Have Prior Knowledge Of This Type Of Product?
When you choose certain products for your website, not all your products but maybe one or two, maybe more, are going to products you have actually used before, giving you a personal opinion that only you have, sharing that makes you very trustworthy, sharing your personal experiences with your readers is a great way to gain trust.
Now that you have a few products that you can give your full personal opininon on, you can relate any other products to the ones you know work or don't work. Think of these products as your base products that should be your main focus, but you need more authority, you gain that with more product reviews!
#3) Competition
How many other websites are talking about your products? No matter what niche you choose, you can build your authority to a level that is better than any other website in your niche. However, a niche that is saturated in competition is going to take much longer to finally break way and gain some traction, but it is possible... However, this the point of research.
