If you like web-scraping, and you're not an idiot, you immediately have an information advantage for anything you decide to do. Do not underestimate this advantage. I would suggest you leverage your interest in web-scraping and use it to customers in what ever niche you believe you can sell them something. Collect your "beta" users through web-scraping, figure out a way to reach them at scale. Build/sell a product they want (you can leverage your information advantage to figure out what this is) This is personally what I do and have created/worked on many bootstrapped companies over my career. Niche for me is fairly irrelevant, as long as I have a pool of interested customers ahead of time. I primarily use my information advantage to figure these out. The additional skills you will need is: * learn to think as a "user/customer" * minor copy-writing skills (or at least understand what shitty copy is and how to improve it) * UX * Data mining & Analytics, Analytics, Analytics * A/B Testing, Iterations, Incremental Improvements (see point above) * Hypothesis Driven Development (https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/how-implement-hypothesis-driven-development https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/how-implement-hyp...) My one suggestion is to avoid any projects which do not have a clear monetization strategy. If you're following my blue-print companies that don't make money from day will only incur costs as you reach your pool of customers at scale.
