In my experience it’s 90% make your own luck. We are software developers, the market is there, it’s just a matter of creating value and finding someone that needs or wants it. My advice (assuming you want to act as a sort of agency, I.e. build things for clients):
Look at what others are doing as much as possible, every day even, but at the end of the day be yourself
Personal relationships are 10 times more important than anything else (blogging, marketing, etc.)
Make sure you have a comfy financial cushion: things will take three times as long as you think
Other than that, re: what to do, I’d look into what your are already good at, and what you like doing, and start with that niche. You can always adjust course later on, but we often tend to think that the choices we make at the beginning will be defining us forever.
Anyway, best of luck on your project! It will be hard, sometimes really hard, but once you manage to get things rolling (again, be prepared for it to take longer than 1 year) it’s incredibly satisfying!
