That's why I believe there is such a low success rate of websites. The itch you are scratching is unlikely to be one that others will a) want solved and b) want to pay to be solved.
The best serial entrepreneurs (multiple 7+ exits) I know all have a structured approach to picking a project, and it always starts with a statistics backed market test of an either fake product or hacked together prototype.

Who are they?
I would love to say but I'd have to ask them first as the sales probably aren't public knowledge.
Likely people who heed Steve Blank's "customer development" approach.
Possibly, they were promoting crossing the chasm at the time I got some mentoring with them.
