Wednesday Wisdom: Brilliant Business Ideas

Wednesday Wisdom, Business Success Strategies for Women Entrepreneurs, Female Business Owners, Small Companies

Appreciating the fact that women love my wisdom in the weekly Wednesday Wisdom editorial, doesn’t mean I have a wealth of insight all the time; although I’d like to think 27 years representing, counseling, connecting, and promoting female business owners gives me a leg up on others. But today’s wisdom, comes from a cool article I saw entitled, “51 Best Small Business Ideas for Women in 2022.” After reviewing all their ideas, I settled on sharing my thoughts on the first one which caught my eye.

Yesterday by chance I reviewed my blog statistics since I’ve been blogging since 2008, but haven’t checked out my recent numbers. Excitedly, I found www.womenties.blog had 9,854 views, 4,759 visitors, 3,333 subscribers, with 100 posts written in 2021. Astounding, I thought. I’m positive these numbers pale in comparison to other more popular, national bloggers, but I was pretty thrilled to see it had almost 10,000 views and the most so far in its history. Sometimes, just sometimes we surprise ourselves in beautiful ways.

In fact the first best small business idea for 2022 in the article was “start a blog.” According to it, running a blog is currently one of the most legitimate business ideas for women to make money from home. Now, I have never made money from my blog, but it is a goal of mine for 2022. How about you? Is it something you have wanted to do for a long time? Perhaps this is the year to begin. It could supplement revenue from your main business.

If you are like most women I speak with, they don’t know how to conjure up blog posts. I learned a long time ago to let my posts come from conversation with clients, visual triggers, current news, social or activist events, my own expertise, and even the way the sun lifts my mood. We all have universal feelings and tapping into your own and sharing them in blog format and then social sharing them is a perfect way to start. Plus, it starts creating content for a future book or articles.

Take a blog one step farther, which WordPress is promoting now, and record your written work into a podcast format and share your wisdom in a new digital format reaching listeners instead of readers. Don’t think you are behind the eight ball if you haven’t taken up blogging or podcasting or anything else you see other female business owners doing. All you need to do is commit to learn what you want to do, add it to your business plan, do it religiously until it becomes and habit, and then sit back and enjoy your own marketing platform expand in numbers.

Today’s Wednesday Wisdom is to inspire you to read the article “51 Best Small Business Ideas for Women in 2022”, highlight the ones you are already doing, choose 3-5 new ideas you think you should try, and then join us for next week’s Vision Board program to put together a visual support piece to aid you. It all ties in when you read, see, and work new ideas into your business to make you a more successful entrepreneur.
