Your New Web Site Business – What Different Business Models You Can You Use?
You want to set up an internet business but are not sure what kind of business model you want. Here are a few examples of the kind of businesses you usually find on the internet.
1. Affiliate: This is the easiest and most basic model. You sign up to sell other people’s products in exchange for a percentage of the sales – the affiliate income.
2. Reseller: This is one step up the ladder. You purchase other people’s products with Resell Rights and then sell the on.
3. eBay Seller: You sell products on the auction site.
4. AdSense Sites: You set up a web site with the express purpose of obtaining funds from people clicking on the AdSense adverts.
5. Landing Page Site: These sites are set up with the express purpose of capturing email addresses – either so that further more detailed information can be sent, a sales appointment to be set up or a mailing list added to so that other sales can be made.
6. Single Product or Service: These web sites are set up with the express purpose of selling a single product or service. Sometimes these sites are only a few pages and may even be just one page.
7. Multi Product or Services: These are the most common sites and are set up to sell many services and products.
8. Catalogue and Malls: These are very large sites that sell multiples of many different types of products. Amazon would be a good idea.
9. Membership Sites: On these sites access to the majority of the site is hidden behind a membership page. Only members – who usually pay – can enter these areas.
10. Community Sites: These are new Web 2.0 sites that involve communities of people all contributing and interacting with each other. A prime example would be Facebook.
11. Forum Sites: These are a fore runner of the community sites. A forum is set up so that people can ask and answer questions and generally have discussions about set subjects.
12. Expert Sites: In these sites, people ask questions and have them answered by the experts. AllExperts is an example of this.
13. Directory Sites: These sites have pages of information that people might find useful. Wikkipedia and HelpfulJoe are good examples.
14. Search Engines: These are where people go to find information on other sites. Google is a great example.
15. Ads: There are sites that are just to collect and display adverts.
16. Link Farms: Some sites are set up just to display links. They are often used by SEO companies who offer links to their customer’s sites in exchange for links on these sites.
17. Auction Sites: These are sites set up to run auctions. eBay is the most obvious one.
18. Bidding Sites: Some sites are set up so that people can place projects that others bid upon. Guru is a good example.
I am sure that there may be a few more obscure ones but I can’t think of any more – perhaps you know some?
