Great! Thank you very much for the sharing. I have been thinking about starting an online business, but never came to a decision. Now, you helped me a lot to decide on one. Thanks again.

This is a great post because people that are successful with their own online businesses don’t just make their business just for the money. Most of the time people find a niche they are passionate about and then find ways to make money off of it.

The online business model also changes over time.Right now,blogging for adsense is a good way to earn money online if you get good traffic.

There is no easy answer on the right online business model. Certainly there is no one right answer.

Whatever business you want to start, important to make sure there is a market for it. Certainly there are lots of viable markets. Which one to go after depends, among others, on your target income and how much resources are you willing to commit. It is always a good idea to make sure your business can be scaled up (use leverage) easily.

Jossef,

Your comment is good advice for anyone wishing to learn as a hobby. If you are trying to make a business out of your efforts, you MUST first focus on deciding which markets you wish to be in and base that on whether money is being exchanged in those markets. Otherwise, you will only succeed in being number one in markets where there is no money to be made.

Best Regards,
Charles

I think we don’t need to focus on making money online, you need to focus in doing something you love to do, understand the basics of how to make money of it, and the money will come. the best thing is that you enjoy doing it

Great post! For years I avoided a niche that I really loved – Internet Marketing. I fought against the temptation to get into what everyone else was doing. However, as much as I tried doing other things – web design (which I still do), niche-for-money sites, etc – none of them were as fun as my work in Internet Marketing.

I knew I had found the right place when I could spend an entire evening with friends and want to talk about my latest efforts in driving traffic, building links, or making money online. I am a big fan of the ‘Find What You Love’.

Copyblogger had a good post today about being creative in how you make money. It is like you said, Lynn – it changes as the times changes, but that is just the nature of the beast.

Good question, Eric and YES – some niches are more profitable than others, and some are not profitable at all. Also YES to making money well outside the “internet marketing” space. See the link above, or you can click it here:

I work in a wide variety of niches myself.

I understand all of the talk around; picking a product or subject that you are interested in, creating products for that groups, etc, etc. But, aren’t there some subjects that are more profitable than others? Is anyone making any “real” money on a subject other than how to get rich online? I’m very interested in working online, but have struggled finding my “niche” or product.

Definitely dont be too quick to dismiss your ideas, Lexi! Of course, I should talk – I’m the ONLY internet marketing advisor on the web (ha – kidding, of course ).

Sometimes competitive markets are the best place to be if you can find a good position to leverage all of that power…

I have some interesting predictions about where all of this is headed, which I’ll save for a future post… but I’m definitely watching with interest during this 2nd decade of online business.

I like how you see the big picture of Internet marketing, unlike so many so-called gurus. And I was shocked to be referred to as a “pioneer”. I often feel like whatever ideas I come up with have already been done by someone else. Now I won’t be so quick to dismiss my ideas

Lynn,

Very good advice above. You are the real McCoy. See my website article, “You CAN cheat an honest man” for more. BTW, Hostgator
is the best.
