I've seen a lot of these sorts of questions in the fortnight or so I've been here, generally from people who joined that day and want someone to hand them a business. People who invariably go quiet and probably don't do anything. (Hope not to be included in that group, time will tell).

Moving on...

I thought this thread could be a >see title< for beginners. So those dudes who really are going to do "it" but just need a little bit of guidance and a nudge in the right direction can get it.
Maybe your advice is business specific, maybe you build apps or are in property but, at least it's all in one place.

If I'm stepping on my own, or someone else's dick here please let me.



I'll start.

About 5 minutes ago I was thinking, "I don't really have any solid advice to give in this thread I'm starting, I sort of just fell into my niche idea."

Eugh, he's one of those. Alright you muppet, how did that happen?!

"Oh, well I made something I needed, for me..."

That's the advice, idiot. *facepalm*.

Make something for yourself because you can't find it out there. If you need/want it, someone else does too.

P.s. I promise my threads won't all suck this hard... Probably not... Well maybe... Eh, no guarantee.
