Best Internet Business

What’s The Best Internet Business Model?

If there was one undisputed “best” model for internet business, everybody would do it. Together, we’re going to run down the five most popular business models, their pros and cons, and let you decide which one is right for you.
It’s all about exploiting your strengths, your time, your skill, your money, in a way that gives you massive results. Read through and think about the resources you’ve got!

Media Buying / PPC

You pick an offer, buy advertisements, and get a commission every time that someone clicks through and make a sale.
Time: Low. This doesn’t take a long time, in fact, you could be rolling with a PPC campaign within an hour or so.
Work: Very Low. You’re not writing a bunch of articles, you’re not networking with a bunch of people, you’re not even sending emails to people. It’s probably the “easiest” thing to do once you know how to pick offers and places.

Investment: Very High. You can make a LOT of money buying media. Hundreds can make you thousands, thousands can make you tens of thousands. But there’s a price. This is a very “spend money to make money” kind of gig.
Learning Curve: Very High. And the penalties for failure are immense, which is why so people don’t do it, or get discouraged after their first campaign tanks.

Membership Website

Set up a bunch of articles and videos on a topic, and set that up as the “free area” of a website. Then charge a monthly fee for membership. You can make a newsletter, a forum, et cetera.
Time: Medium. You’ll need to put your back into it to get started, but people love having a recurring website because it’s predictable income… you’ll make money no matter what happens during the month as long as people sign up and stay satisfied.

Work: High. You’re going to have to keep new content and stuff coming, or your subscriptions are going to drop all the way off. And you’re going to need a lot of time and money to make a “library” big enough to appeal to people. Once you’ve made enough money, you can get other people to make these updates for you.
Investment: Medium. You can publicize your website using many free methods.
Learning Curve: Medium. You’re probably going to need to learn one or two programs in order to manage all your content, but it isn’t an impossible plan.

Affiliate Marketing

Promote and recommend other people’s products and services on a site/sites that you set up.
Time: Low. The cool thing about affiliate marketing is that once you do it right, you’re close to the mythical “autopilot income” – you have to do a little upkeep, but for the most part the money is coming in, and you’ve already set up the infrastructure for new customers.

Work: Medium. Really, the point is to work on a site ONCE and then promote it, then see your money rolling in. You’re not putting your nose to the grindstone on a constant basis and putting up with support headaches like with a membership site.

Investment: Low. The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you can get rolling without spending a single dollar. If you’re broke or live in the third world, you’re kind of tech savvy and have focus, this is the thing to do.

Learning Curve: Medium. You need to learn some basic skills, but if you have a little time, you can get it done.
