One route to success is to take some other domain that you have expertise in, that most software devs aren't familiar with. Come up with an application that solves a problem in that domain, then market to those people.

Here's a simple example (this probably won't make any money, but it is good for illustrative purposes). If you look at an egg carton, there is a sell by date on there, but it doesn't list the date that the eggs were laid. Well it does, but not directly. There is a number on it which is the day number of the year (1 - 365), that represents when the eggs were laid.

So come up with an app, called "fresheggs", that just converts this number to a date, and will tell you how many days old these eggs are. Add location info to the app, and put in ads at the bottom that are coupons for the store you are in. You get paid when a user clicks on and uses that coupon.

Here is a free business idea! I ran into a niche problem the other day.

If you have a family with X family members, and each person has a loyalty number for Y airlines and Z hotels, that starts to become a lot to keep track of. Wouldn't it be great to see all of your loyalty accounts on a single page? Then you could have cool graphs, growth rates over time, etc. Also a tool to make sure that all family members are getting credit for all of their miles/stays.
