Looking for the micro pot ‘o gold in 2012

Posted on | January 10, 2012 | 1 Comment

How’s that for mixing my metaphors?

Of course, you know that I sometimes write for Small Business Trends when I’m not busy being brilliant here. And one of my regulars is the annual microbusiness trends for the new year article.

This year is no different.

Yes, I have dusted off my crystal ball to give you want I consider to be the best opportunities for microbusiness prosperity in the coming year. Of course, these aren’t the only kinds of businesses that’ll make you money in 2012. As it happens, it is looking like the economy is looking up: the NFIB’s Index of Small Business Optimism is up again for the third month in a row and has recovered enough to be back up to 93.8 points. But I do think that my short list of possibles has a lot to recommend it for short term gain.

You’ll see why when you read the article, because I explain it all over there.

Another prognosticatin’ article you might find interesting — at least, I did — comes to us from our friends over at Small Business Labs: they posted their annual trends article and it’s well worth a read.

I found the first two identified trends to be particularly interesting and insightful.

Have you come across any microbusinesses-in-2012 articles that I’ve missed? Don’t be stingy; share them in the comments!
