Indeed. I would say much better advice is Make something useful. It's easy to get people to want useful things. If you can focus on solving needs and headaches for people they will want what you offer. I would add you could expand that to, "when evaluating a potential new product ask, 'Who will find this useful?' and 'Who needs this?'"
