Your virtual server experience showed that you you have higher priorities than a successful business and walked away from a business with good potential. Besides the idea what are you bringing to the table? The ability to hire a freelancer to do work for you? Software is only a small portion of a business. How are you going to reach this niche group of users? How many of them are there? How are you going to make money off of them? why not just leverage facebooks apis and create a niche app for facebook? How much money would you need? To get your first 10k users? Facebook makes something like 60 cents per hour a user spends on facebook. Are your numbers going to be better? what's so great about this niche of users? Do they have more buying power? Personally I would finish working on what the freelancer was working on. I would also come up with some SAAS tools that you need to build anyway and work on selling them to get ramen profitable.
