3 Yes's out of 37 is not a bad metric to go off of, unless you're in a micro-niche and 37 customers is all there is. What is the market as a whole? By yes, are they bringing out a checkbook and saying "can I get it now"?

As for work, I'd suggest checking out the several freelance sites out there: guru, freelancer, etc. Hope this helps!

There are many more possible customers, but those 37 is all I could find since yesterday. "Yes" means: yes, I would buy such a product...

Freelancer.com is full of cheap asian programmers, and I really can't work at such low rates ($3-5/hour).

Were you trying to start a conversation to discover their pain around the problem you think they have?

It sounds like you were pitching a solution already. You should have a problem and a "customer" in mind, but not be sold on your solution, yet. More than likely your solution isn't right, but talking to customers will help you refine your solution into one that will solve their "pain".
