IMO trying to sell a new idea has quite low chances of being successful. There could be hundreds who've tried bringing this specific idea to market, but nobody ever heard about them because the idea went belly up.

On the other hand, there are already plenty of established markets with a healthy amount of competition. A plumber doesn't have to worry about coming up with new ideas. Neither does someone creating and maintaining websites for restaurants. Or ERP consultants. Or process automation engineers.
