Usually startups that make money the fastest are ones with a revenue model, an understanding of who their customers are and a way to get in front of those customers. This is a very broad statement, but I think if you can apply this checklist to your ideas you will be on your way. Example: Product: Website uptime monitoring with SMS alerts. Revenue model: Free up to 1 site, $5/mo for 5 sites, $10 for 15 sites. Target customers: Freelancers, Small web shops, owner operators. Where they visit: Web Design Blogs, Freelance Blogs, Web Dev Podcasts, Tutorial Sites, Web Design Galleries How to get in front of them: Banner and sidebar ad's, Reviews from related blogs, Press Release, Free Trials, Guest Blogging, Social media, cold calling, email blasts, podcast sponsorshop. This is just a random idea I pulled out the air, but it could be executed immediately because it hits all three criteria on the checklist.
