6 Internet-Ready Business Ideas

The Internet holds out the promise of untold wealth, at least that is perception some ads and articles may give to people when it comes to making money online. In reality, very few business models can successfully be run exclusively via the Internet. However, some people rely on the Internet for deriving at least a portion of their income, working with proven business models and enjoying profitable returns as a result.

To that end, we’ve identified six business models suitable for the internet. There is some overlap between some of the featured models; perhaps mixing and matching is the best way for you to derive a profit.

Web Communities

Message boards, forums and weblogs with a strong following can provide income for the owner of that site. According to Professor Michael Rapper of North Carolina State University, popular Internet sites can make money through the “…sale of ancillary products and services or voluntary contributions; or revenue may be tied to contextual advertising and subscriptions for premium services.”

Pay-per-click ads strategically placed on web pages can bring in some income.

Online Merchandising

eBay gave rise to the term “PowerSeller,” people whom the Internet merchandising giant describes as having “achieved eBay requirements for sales volume, customer satisfaction, policy compliance, and account standing.”

How much that sales volume is and what profit is made is rarely published by PowerSeller’s themselves. However, the size of some of these pages and related sites is a clear indication that the demand for online shopping remains strong.
