You gotta study the market niche(s). I came across this web site today:

   http://www.smosh.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2389&st=0

Those categories have great free software, so I suspect it would be hard to
crack one of those with a for-pay program. I think the best thing would be
to find a program that businesses can't be without and sell to them.

Or try these for some ideas:

The point is, you can make money writing programs in Euphoria, just like you
can make money writing programs in any language. The primary concern is
determining what people need and filling that void... or making the better
mousetrap.

I think the best option right now is to create software for businesses. You
can sell the software as well as support contracts. Businesses expect to have
to buy software, whereas individuals expect to be able to find free software.
