My recent series on bloggers and business startups has generated a heap of e-mail.
There is certainly heavy interest among bloggers in entrepreneurship. The major problem facing most of the people who e-mailed to me was one of business area.
Not everyone knows where to find business opportunities.
Locating that niche market to exploit is not always easy.
In fact, it might be extremely difficult to notice. That is especially true if the niche is right under the proverbial nose.
Without concern over specifics, bloggers are extremely well positioned for any business area that requires creativity. That includes writing, entertainment, and advertising to name only a few. Those three areas alone can be easily combined into some very powerful growth businesses.
Public relations and marketing are natural fields for bloggers. The talent of bloggers at networking and attracting visitors and links is obvious.
Since blogs are naturally search engine friendly, the entire field of search engine optimization might attract a bevy of bloggers.
The biggest obstacles facing bloggers are time and money.
It's certainly not expertise, as the blogosphere contains more than enough brain power to dominate several major industries.
Finding the time to operate a business isn't easy, but it can be done. In fact, a company that interests you will be so much fun to run, that many time wasting activities will be scrapped, in its favour. Of course, don't neglect your hobbies as they are important for balance in your life.
Getting the money to operate a business requires creativity.
Forget the traditional financial channels. It's time to go way off the grid and think of boot strap funding.
The great thing about careful money management, and financing as you go, is the business remains debt free. Self supporting businesses can survive economic downturns much more readily that those that are heavily leveraged.
Take a good look around you.
Those business opportunities and blogger partnerships are just sitting there.
They are waiting for you to reach out and grab them
