Typically when you search for trending niches, you’ll find lists of 
niche products that are currently popular or predicted to become

cryptocurrency, aren’t all that practical for dropshipping because of the low amount 
of physical products available.
As you do more research, you’ll see that certain niches are inherently more plentiful 
with products than others. For example, clothing is better than time management 
for dropshipping because it offers more product variety.
The more niche products you can offer, the better. You don’t want
