10 Top Business Ideas to Consider in 2012


Start that Blog

In order for you to become a Blogger, here are some steps you can take:


  • Choose a company to blog with. Two of the most popular ones are 
  • Blogger.com
  • WordPress.com
  • Decide if you want a free account or if you would like to host the blog on your own domain (if you bought a domain, your blog could like www.yourpassion.com, or a free account would look like www.yourpassion.wordpress.com).
    Most people opt to buy a domain so that their blog appears more professional. If you choose to do this, you’ll need to sign up with a  Hosting company.
  • After your blog is set up, decorate it however you would like. WordPress calls the blog skins “themes”, and Blogger calls them “templates”.
  • Post news, lessons, stories, or anything relevant to your blog.
  • Add content as frequently as possible so that you build up a regular readership base.
  • Start advertising your site on social networks, among friends, or via other traffic methods.



  • How much can I make out of blogging?
    It can take some time to establish a blog, but the profit potentials can be quite large. Some people report making in the millions of dollars from a blog. Your earnings will vary based on traffic you get to the blog, how interesting your content is, how often you post, and the types of advertisements you put on your blog.

    Start an Online Directory Website

    If you’ve always fancied running your own online directory website then don’t wait any longer.PremiumPress offers a great directory theme package to start your very own online directory website using WordPress at minimum cost. Starting and running my own online business directory was the second most successful business venture for me before starting my own blog here at Magnet, and it’s still contributing as a great source of additional income to this day…

    Start an Online Business in Advertising

    How about running your own classified website? Our friends over at PremiumPress again can also offer you a complete WordPress package to get your classified business website up and running in no time and with little cost. Find some discounted web hosting, get the PremiumPress classified package and you’re on your way.

    Become and Internet Affiliate Marketer

    I know this is more easily said than done, but think about it at least! And who says you have to own your own blog or website to start your own internet marketing business these days? You can achieve this quite sensibly by harnessing the power of email, social networking sites and using blogging sites such as SquidooHubPages and InfoBarrel.

    Get Paid to Write

    If you’re a whiz kid at creating quality unique content then consider becoming a freelance writer. There are tons of companies and businesses out there that simply don’t have the God given time to do this themselves, that’s where your services comes in. There are also lots of top blogs that are willing to pay you to write good content. We are now giving the unique opportunity for our guest writers to get paid to write for us so be sure to check it out or register as a regular contributor.

    Start your own Custom Graphic Design Company

    If you’re creative like me :) and have hands-on experience in using photo editing and graphic design tools and software’s then consider setting yourself up as a freelance graphic designer. Create logos and templates for businesses and get paid, offer small companies custom email marketing templates, I’m sure you can think of a few more other creative ideas too!

    Become a Web Designer

    If the language of the web is second nature to you then you’re onto a great start already. Consider looking for jobs online from companies looking for experienced and knowledgeable web designers, again I know that sounds a lot easier to say than do; alternatively why not build your own web design company… If you’re not too savvy with coding, no problem… you can use theMoonfruit Reseller program for example, to use for your clients projects.

    Sell your Services

    We all have a skill in something worth making money from thats what I always say… whether it’s painting, doing arts and crafts, cleaning, computer and mobile phone repairs, SEO, online marketing – find what you’re good at doing and provide that service so that consumers can find you online. Build a business out of what you can do that others can’t, simple.

    Sell Products

    We all love to sell stuff online and I’m a huge fan for selling on the internet for sure. My online art business was my first real business venture and selling online quickly became an addiction for me, before I realised the business potential behind it. Why not start an eBay store or create a website to sell stuff on. If you don’t have your own products to sell then get an Amazon Associates accountand make money that way. It’s all possible…

    Build your own iPhone, iPad, Android Apps & Sell…

    How hot is the apps market at the moment? Forget iOS for a moment and think about the growing demand for all other apps including Android Apps… now add Apple’s app market into play, there is money waiting to be made here people. Now is the time to start learning how to create your own games and iPhone apps and sell online through the apps marketplace. It’s only going to grow even more popular throughout 2012, so now is the best time to start getting your greasy fingers in the door.
    Well I hope you’ve enjoyed reading these top business ideas for 2012… What ever you choose to do, the most important thing is that you do it… Don’t be the one to look back one day and wish that you had, don’t wait for 2013… it may never come… so would most people have you beleive, enjoy.
