I think you need more than an idea, but a strategy. Good strategies come from understanding, which might come from research, or working in a field to gain experience. Read the YC launch posts when they happen to see what I mean. They usually are like this:
Cofounder and I worked in industry X for Y years and were frustrated by time-consuming/imperfect/costly problem Z while trying to achieve important objective W. We talked to other people in this situation and found insights A B and C. And then they go on to describe the product.
The strategy is the product plus how you will get it to market, how will it evolve, what are the first features, what are the human elements to the product, do you need a flashy modern site, or a short email to a targeted list, etc.
