So much info

There is so much information on the internet it does my head in some days. You can go to thousands of sites trying to tell you that their service or money making system can make you rich quick. BUT I DON'T THINK SO!
I'm still trying to figure out which "niche" i want to market. There are that many options and possibilities that you hear about or think of, and that many different things that could work, but how do you know if it WILL work. Because after all that's what I want to know! Will selling this product or service actually make me some money?
I really want to come up with a product of my own to sell. But in the meantime I just need to start making some money, and fast.!!! So how do I do this???

Books and stuff I've been reading.
