Micro-Entrepreneurship

The book I read to research this post was Micro-Entrepreneurship For Dummies by Paul Mladjenovich which is an excellent book which I read at

This book is probably of most use to those looking for a second or extra income to their main job rather than those looking to do something full time. Of course if you are successful you can always turn to doing whatever it is full time. It covers a huge amount of ways of getting potential income and there is lots of advice on things like outsourcing work and accounts. I did do a post a while back about how some people do lots of little jobs on http://fiverr.com and although only get about $3.67 per job or something like that do lots of jobs and make a nice second income. Also look at the arts and crafts section of http://about.com and consider personalizing some of the projects and selling them on http://etsy.com & http://ebay.com. Your business should at the very least have a facebook page, blog & twitter presence. Many would add a website with ecommerce and a linkedin page. You should look at what your skills are and a couple of good sites for being a virtual assistant and making money are http://elance.com & http://mturk.com. You may find you need to concentrate with regard to being assistance adapt your skills to what's available. With doing something like arts and crafts or even buying cheap in one place and reselling the key is to specialize and be a bit different to everyone else. I really enjoyed this book which is absolutely brimming with ideas.
