However, micro- entrepreneurship is hardly a new idea. Most successful businesses probably started out the same way. I’m not sure how successful Yahoo thought it would be when it first started out way back in the early 90s. We can’t just stop dreaming BIG because at the end of the day that’s what dreams are supposed to be … larger than life … more than you expect to achieve ordinarily. Being a micro-entrepreneur and wanting to stay that way is a crime in my book. Yes, one can start out that way and if one does not meet with grand success so be it … but being satisfied with ones lot stalls progress. We probably wouldn’t be able to comment on this blog or you wouldn’t be able to write one for that matter if it wasn’t for someone’s small idea making it big. The web is only as small as our collective imaginations … so let your imagination run wild. Nice post Eric … some interesting thoughts there. However, micro- entrepreneurship is hardly a new idea.

I've been following this path for about 18 months and I call it "Micropreneurship" (and "Serial Micropreneurship" once I started running multiple websites/apps). This work/lifestyle choice lends itself to a super flexible schedule, location independence, and constant learning. It's not for everyone, but I am totally unemployable now - I could never go back to a salaried gig. Thanks for the post. Great post.

I think it is possible to offer readers a blog at INR 500 per year or $10. Yes, I would have to cater to a small audience and wouldn't become like Rupert Murdoch.
