Correct. For those of use that have worked in (and understand) niche markets for a period of time, it really comes down the user base. They are loyal, and they also will be your best minions for spreading the word. You can incite that viral spreading with some well thought out advertising campaigns/freebies/add ons. But niche mofo's are your best asset.

Exactly. Talk to most people about their online ideas, and they all want to be the next Bill Gates type of mofo making millions with super models tossing their salads in a Benzo. Instead of simply being the richest motherfucker in their town, which is essentially the same thing in the real world.

Most of their ideas are too big for a single person, with unrealistic time frames, and typically no funding or resources to put behind it. In capital, and workforce. So they are bound to fail before they leave the station so to speak.
