Have you considered a website that focuses on helping writers sell their indie-published eBooks? A niche market like this could promote affiliate programmes like the Writers store.

There could also be a niche market for people who are learning to write in English for the first time. In this case, programmes like EssayProfit and ProWriting Aid could be helpful. This type of website could also promote language learning programs and video courses to help develop writing skills.
