I invest/sell domain names and I build out some of my better domains into stores, white labels, partnerships etc... always good to diversify so if one industry goes cold the others might keep you stable. It takes a lot of work to be successful in mainstream as well as tons of competition. One good thing about mainstream is most sales cookies are 30,60,90,120+ days by default compared to 99% of the ccbill sites I promote with 3 day cookies.

The reason for me building stores on product domains is just because I have been investing in domains since 2002 so the good ones are kinda staring at me begging for some form of development even if light development. If your starting from scratch and not staring at hundreds or thousands of mainstream domains then I would pick something you enjoy as then you wont lose the desire to keep it updated or keep working on it.
