10 Micro Tips for Micro Businesses

Countdown to Starting a Micro Business ebook launch

Day 2: 9 days until the release of Starting a Micro Business ebook by Carol Topp, CPA

on

Saturday, May 1, 2010

As we count down to the launch of Starting a Micro Business, I am going to share tips on starting a micro business.

Today’s tip: Find a need and meet it

Micro businesses are simple businesses that can be started very quickly. What do you need to start a micro business? Your need only two things:

  1. A product or service that meets a need
  2. Someone to buy it

That’s it. Two things: see a need you can meet and find someone to pay you for your help.

Sarah volunteered for a great nonprofit organization by giving swimming lessons to children in the summer. The adults running the swimming lessons were wonderful and really knew how to teach swimming, but they didn’t know how to set up a blog or a website. Sarah knew she could help in this area. She saw a need, talked to the nonprofit leader and found herself in business! It can be that easy to start!

To start a new micro business think a a need and who will buy it.

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.
