niche, the answer covers a wide spectrum.

Flipkart, Shopclues etc etc.
You can create seller accounts in each or use
Shopify to maintain your own site and further link to these well known
platforms. This way, you can maintain one site and still sell to different
sites and make money.

are a tutor or a great content creator, you can offer your courses through
Teachable, Udemy, Coursera, Unacademy, Quizziz etc.
Mobile Apps : If you
wish you can create mobile apps and monetize the content, integrate Ads or
create a Freemium model.
Websites : Create
the content once and host it, monetize with Ad platforms. There are plenty of
Advertisement platforms to make money like Admob, Chartboost etc
