So I know that finding a niche with low competition and high margin is the holy grail of e-commerce. But is there some "safe space" in e-commerce ? Like selling certain type of products which are always in demand do not generate outstanding sales they "just work". I am not looking to make 50K from 5K in 2 months or so but making 11K from 10K would be nice for example even if it cannot be scaled to 100K->110K.

So my question: is there any "safe", proven to work method or product category out there?

Yes I am lazy and not very creative I know.

/edit:
Just to give you guys an idea what I mean: If you invest your money in the stock market you can choose some niche companies with high risk high reward and hope for the best or you can pick an index fund and just keep up with the market and make small consistent returns (~7%) year over year. I am looking for something like that in e-commerce.
