My 2010 Business Opportunities Online: My Plans For 2010

Are you excited about your business opportunities 2010?

What are you thinking right now about the upcoming year as far as your business or career are concerned. A quote I like, but haven't "memorized" goes something like, "Your attitude at the outset of a thing greatly affects the outcome of the thing". Having a good attitude about the business environment in 2010 is a good idea. I'm starting with that and the more I look at my online business and the business opportunities 2010 will bring, I get excited.

I've been nipping away at a financial goal I've set separately for my online business, with is really a web publishing business. What's that?

Basically I blog about small business ideas, and creating an income on the Internet from home. Another aspect that ties in is why I do this. The why of it is more about create a life by design than anything else. I started with a vision 3 years ago and decided that using the Internet to earn money from home was my surest way to realising that vision. Have you made the same decision?

Decisions are powerful and it pays to use the Internet to develop passive income in 2010. As I mentioned I have a separate income goal for my business opportunities and ideas online. I still take on projects off line, but my online business opportunities are a much better match to that vision I talked about.

So what am I doing in 2010?

Well I have a few goals or projects I'm committed to and while I'm always open to new business opportunities in 2010 I've got a few that I'm doing. Its funny how I'll hold a business idea for what seems like eternity. Talking myself into how it would work great, thinking of how much value it would add and how much money I'd make, and such. It's silly, you know?

The marketplace is the proving ground and taking a business idea from you mind to the marketplace is the work of an entrepreneur. It is what it is.

My Best Business Opportunities for 2010

So here are my best business opportunities for 2010. An idea worth mentioning is how some of my ideas, most really, are connected to work I've already done online that has netted results and income. The best tip for a would be entrepreneur is to just get started in business. Profitably will come later. I'd rather be where I'm at right now than when I first got started, mainly because there is more opportunity when you've created momentum.

The first opportunity I want to develop in 2010 is to enlarge my small business industry websites. I have a main site and a few others that talk more specifically on smaller niche topics. I basically want to develop a few more topics to blog or write about. Selling ad space on this network has been a steady profitable business opportunity. Starting a blog is one of the best investments for 2010 in my opinion.

By profitable business opportunity I mean for the money and time spent there is a return that justifies my attention. It wasn't always like that but it is now. Persisting in what already works in my business just makes simple sense so it's number one on my list of top business opportunities online in 2010.

The next business idea I'd like to explore, a new one for me, is creating a business that has a tangible product. I'm not sure if I want an affiliate product or a private labeled product. I'm leaning toward private label and will be looking at the capital outlay of Private labeling a few different products I have in mind.

Another of my goals for my online business is to create a community based website with user generated content. I've dabbled in this a little in 2009, with minimal results but it continues to grab my interest.

And the last business opportunity I like to develop in 2010 is to create a home based business idea using the Internet and a website and sell by years end. My income goal for this project will be 15k. Do you think that is reasonable? By the way if you have any experience in the items I've mentioned or have any business ideas for 2010 please share in the comments! I'd love to be involve in a discussion like that.

2010 will bring its challenges but I'd rather be online developing business concepts than anywhere else. The start up costs are very low and low cost business ideas are much more sustainable in tough times. There are very few expenses in my online business, the biggest being taxes. I like that in a business.

Passive business opportunities used to be a dream to me and I used to think multi-family housing or college rentals when I thought passive. It isn't the way it was 20 years ago, thank God, and you can get in on the action by investing a few hours a week, that's what I did.

I welcome questions and comments on this and other posts on the blog take a minute and introduce yourself. If you have a site tell us about it.

One of the things on my "other list" which is pretty much a list of maintaining my existing businesses is to create some dialog on this blog. Its been difficult. Does it look spammy?

Its not my main blog but it was the first one I started and I just don't have the heart to "kill it", you know what I mean?

Honestly I think a blog can be one of the best businesses to start in 2010, I mean you've got to have something to say but really, there isn't much else. I mean if you read any of my blogs you know I'm no Hemingway. And I don't need to be, I do fine and over time my grammar is improving. No doubt though I loose some visitors because of my acceptance of imperfection in my writing. Oh, well.
