My advice for someone at your stage is not to come up with the idea yourself. Unless you're an expert in the industry you're building your business in, it's more likely than not that your idea isn't as great as you think it is.
Your best bet is to work backwards. By that I mean interview users first (preferably in a low-competition niche), find out what their needs are (preferably a business need that they're willing to pay you money for), and then build a product to satisfy those needs (as fast as possible with a well-tested and reliable stack). Don't fall into the trap of building a product nobody cares about and then trying and failing to find an audience for it. I made this mistake and it was painful.
