First of all I would like to explain the title a bit.
I have talked with some people who would like to start
an online business and have all these ideas rolling
around in their head, but have no idea what to do with
them. They have many interests, but really do not know
how to organize these interests into a business.
I try to help people with this task by letting them
know what steps to take to turn their interests into
an online business.
One of the first things you should do is write down all
of the things you are interested in:
flea marketing
writing
movies
people
antiques
The next thing you could do is write down exactly what
you want to accomplish with your business:
earn a good living
publish an ezine
help people
build a website
Now you want to kind of put these lists together and
make a plan on how you can accomplish your goals with
your interests. Your business could be a collectibles
and antiques business. You could publish an ezine on
antiques, how to buy them, where to get them, what to
look for at flea markets and so on. Write informative,
interesting articles on these subjects to put in your
antique ezine. You could also include movie memorabilia
and collectibles. By selling some of your products on
Ebay, you could make a good income. On your site, you
could also have a section where you help other people
get started in similar businesses. The possibilities
are endless! The more you organize your thoughts, the
more ideas you will get.
There are affiliate programs with all kinds of products
to help add to your online income. Look around the
Clickbank Marketplace for the products you need.

After you decide what your business will be, then is
the time to write out your business plan. Write in
detail what you want your business to be and the steps
you must climb to attain that your goal.
Some resource sites for planning and starting your
business:

If you write down your ideas and interests, organize
all your goals, you can combine these two lists into a
profitable online business. In combining your
interests with your goals you can design a customized
business that you will be passionate about. Thus,
your chances of success will be much higher!
