My suggestion for ideas - make simple tools for team/organizing for normal people. Not yet another collaboration/project management suite but apps to help teachers, baseball coaches, and scout leaders. My free tool http://chir.ag/projects/team-maker/ http://chir.ag/projects/team-maker/ gets over 10k hits per month, mostly via Google search and a single MakeUseOf post. I did no advertising and yet I get emails every other day from someone trying to do more with the tool and offering me money to build a pro version.
Another free app of mine that does great is https://zetabee.com/icaljs/ https://zetabee.com/icaljs/ - it's a simple calendar that takes an iCal feed and inserts it into your website via JS and lets you style it with CSS. People have written me many times to make that into a more feature-rich app and charge $x/mo for it. I'm still busy with my KType project (that we emailed each other about a while ago) so I'm not in a good place to build these apps but you might be in a much better position, especially with your awesome marketing skills. Patio11's found success with apps for normal users too. So definitely consider "simple tools to make someone's life super-easy" as a viable candidate.
