A really interesting question. I think that artificial ideas are the way to go, provided that you can find a way to develop a strong interest in the subject somehow. In my personal life I tend towards minimalism, but in my professional life I really enjoy the simple act of making the numbers go up, so it works for me.

In the recent past I've found good success in the birthday ecards space, and the astrology space, and both are "artificial". Right now I'm exploring religious themed apps in Android and iOS, and that seems to be going really well too, even though I am not an evangelical christian.

Anyway, without strong interest in a topic you cannot succeed. But it is possible to develop an interest in a subject ex post facto.
