it cant be said enough: make something people want.
then again, you could also try: make people want something.
however, you said you were a programmer and not a marketer.
alternatively: want something? make people.
nobody ever went broke betting on people's urge to reproduce.
permutations are fun: something people make? want.
desire in the world comes from attachment to expectation, we are the fabricators and stewards of that desire. want-creation is a multibillion dollar industry, ads are just the way to tap into that market with the lowest barrier to entry.
wheeee: want something people make.
aggregate other people's content. for text, scribd, for video, youtube, for audio? (i consider this one still out there for grabs.) increasingly, micro-markets (like etsy) are going to flourish, facilitating trade between craftsmen and consumers. make your mother proud, become a middleman.

for real advice: dont pay an accountant or a lawyer until you start giving other people money or taking other people's money. before you do either of those things, get the go-ahead from both. things take twice as long and come out half as good as you think.
also, make sure there is always forward progress on what you are actually intending to provide. you provide someone with resources something (goods or services) that they perceive as valuable. unless you continue to create more/better goods or provide more/better services, you're stagnating.
