>The ERP is only in portuguese, and shop owners here are unwilling to pay for non-famous software
The trick is not to market it locally to your bad market. You mostly want to market to US americans and Brits. Those are the two markets where people buy software. The rest is rather mediocre (EU, Australia) to super bad (Russia, Asia and South America). Also you want to narrow it down. Just making an ERP is like making a TODO app. Everyone and their mother have made one. What you want is to specialize: Make an ERP for ... I don't know ... dentists. (Yes, stupid example but you should get the idea).
But yes. Writing the software is comparatively easy. Choosing what to develop in the first place is hard and one of the most important decisions. And then marketing tends to be hard for the average developer.
A good book for starters is http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Business-Software-Experts-Voice/dp/1590596234 - it is a little out dated in some areas (mostly doesn't talk much about SaaS as it wasn't a thing back then) but still it offers valuable info for starting a software business.
I'm not saying it's easy peasy but if your other options are social welfare or a shitty job that will suck the life out of you you might as well think about and try to go solo.
Btw. a nice discussion forum is http://discuss.bootstrapped.fm
Not sure if it is a good fit, but I will start reading this: http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Business-Software-Experts-Voice/dp/1590596234/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1334242467&sr=8-11
