Let’s
examine these nine profitable Internet businesses one after the other as listed
in part-1.
1. Google.com:
Google is the largest Internet search portal and they are very profitable. What do they sell? When you carry out a search on Google, you will notice that most times, there will be two different sets of results. The ones on the left hand side (known as the organic search results) and the small ones colored blue on the right. Those ones on the right hand side are adverts placed there by other website owners and they pay per click, sometimes as high $1 per click. It is a huge money maker for Google. They are selling targeted advertising to other website owners and they get paid handsomely for it.
2. Facebook.com:
We all know facebook so no stories. Take a look at the ads on the right hand side. The model works like Google. Selling ad spaces on pay per click basis.
3. Doggles.com:
I like this website. They made Three Million Dollars last year selling…. wait for it… sun shades dogs can wear to the beach! Now that’s one crazy niche market but don’t forget the lesson. They sell.
4. DoubleYourDating.com:
I like the owner of this site. David D’angelo (his real name is Eben Pagan) has built a multi million dollar online business based on selling dating advice to men. He sells eBooks, videos, audios etc on dating. Check it out.
5. WarriorForum.com:
This is a discussion forum where Internet marketers converge. It is very popular and if you are looking for a free resource where you can learn online marketing quickly, head over there today. How does Allen Says (the owner) make his money? He has a paid segment of the forum. You have to pay $35 to gain access. Guess what? Almost all the members (over 100,000) are members of the WAR ROOM.
He has another segment called the Warrior Special Offers. There, you are allowed to list your products for sale for a fee. That segment of the forum has become a very busy market place. Allen sure knows how to sell.
6. LinkedIn.com:
Another very popular social networking site. Not as popular as facebook but its popularity and membership increases by the day. How do they make money? They have a paid option for membership. The privileges of the free member are limited. When you pay, you are able to access all the features of the website.
7. Paypal.com:
PayPal is an e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet. You can also make use of PayPal to accept payments on your website. Do you know what? PayPal makes money per transaction. They are selling a service to people that want to transfer money online and they make serious money. Millions of dollars!
8. GoDaddy.com:
They are the largest domain registrars. Do you know what a domain name is? If you want your website to be called www.johnnybis.com you have to buy the name from a registrar. GoDaddy is one of such registrars and they make truck loads of cash.
9. Zappos.com:
Zappos.com is an online shop currently based in Henderson, Nevada, USA. In 2009, their revenue was USD$1 billion. Did you read that well? That is a BILLION. How do they make money? They sell. What do they sell? Shoes! Check it out
yourself.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if you can also own a cash spitting website? Okay, maybe not as big as
the likes of Amazon which is valued at $10 billion but something that can make you millions of Naira every month so you can live the lifestyle you deserve.
If you want to make money online, sell something online. Anyone making money online is selling something online. If you don’t sell online, you can’t make money online. Period!
