Do you have any advice for finding such people and the problems they face? Do you have examples of the things they wanted built?
I think that if you wrote an article detailing your experiences and what you learned/inferred from the experiences, that it could be quite a popular article.
It is basic economics, "build stuff people want", and every time I think about things that I should do for money, I think I should be an auto mechanic, because lots of people have cars that need being fixed (or plumber, or other slightly-skilled-but-not-everyone-does-that-but-everyone-needs-that type profession). While logic may take me there, I am not sure if that is the best way for me to go and while it isn't a glamorous "build the next facebook"-type starting business, it is not even a "build something no one else has" type business.
Thanks,
