The last one sounds like a nice idea. What comes to my mind:
- Which other makers could be potential users of my product
- Which other maker have product that is complementary to the one I'm building.

Goal: Earn my first dollar with an online project.
Inverted Goal: Earn no money with online projects.
Achieve the Inverted Goal (from experience):
Start a new project, and when it's 80% done, switch to a new, "better" idea. Alternatively, finish the project, submit a "Show HN" post, realize I have no idea how to achieve distribution, and repeat.Achieve the Actual Goal:
Start a new project only when I have a plan for distribution and monetization.
Cut the scope so I can finish it before I start losing motivation or find a new shiny idea.
by the last one I meant one before last :)
