I firmly believe that if you follow your passion and create something that solves a problem you're passionate about, that no one else has solved yet (i.e. with the features you care about, at a price you can afford), you'll find others with the same passion who want what you're selling. That's not the same as saying you can sell "anything", or that you can definitively strike it rich doing so. My simple math is this. There are 8 billion people on the planet. If you can create something that appeals to just 1 out of 800,000 people (or 0.0000025% of the population), you should be able to attract 10,000 people who at least follow you online. It won't happen overnight, but if it's something you're passionate about, there are at least 10,000 other people who share that passion and are looking for what you're offering. If you can't find a way to monetize 10,000 followers, you're doing something wrong. But if you're not solving your own problems, and if you're not pursuing your own passion, there's no reason to assume others are passionate about the thing you're just doing for the money. Even if they are, they're likely to see through the facade.
