None of your proposed action steps includes the two most important things you need to do: one, make sure there is a viable market for your idea. (Who will buy it, how much will they pay, and how often will they buy again?) And two, make sure that YOU are the person who can make it happen.

You don't need a patent yet. You don't have the financial ability to enforce it! You also don't need to incorporate because you're not doing anything that requires you to have the kinds of protections that incorporating offers.

I'd spend my time at this stage testing how real the opportunity is, both for the idea and for yourself... if you're going to spend any money, spend it on phone calls to and breakfasts with people who will know what to do with your concept.
