As a freelance journalist, he worked for Le Journal des Finances , La Croix and other newspapers.

In 1989 he founded the business magazine Le Quotidien de 89 . Thematically, he approached the positions of the Front National during this time . As a result, Miguet worked as an editor for various right-wing newspapers such as the National Hebdo or Minute . Miguet was judged extremely controversially by his colleagues. At times, the Paris commercial court, the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris, revoked his professional right as a publisher. His economic analyzes often take up conspiracy theses and minority opinions. However, it is precisely because of his theses that he gains popularity.

In 2004 he organized a minority vote that forced Charles Mackay, the British boss of the Eurotunnel , to resign. Miguet had managed to win around 21% of the shareholders' shares for a vote on the removal. Miguet founded the French Taxpayers Association (Rassemblement des contribuables français) in 2009 .
