How To Make Money On the Internet
- yoak 16y agoThat was so well-drawn that I kept waiting for it to be funny but it never delivered.
- dholowiski 16y agoAgreed.
- scrrr 16y agoYou can say "Agreed." by upvoting. :)
- dholowiski 16y agoThanks for the helpful tip.
- tome 16y agoI don't think upvoting functions well when it is merely used to express agreement.
- jpwagner 16y agoYou can say something snarky by downvoting :)
- qjz 16y agoComedy isn't pretty! - Steve Martin A rich man's joke is always funny. - Thomas Edward Brown It's funny 'cause it's true. - Homer Simpson You can have one, maybe two, but you rarely get all three.
- samwise 16y agoSurprisingly i found that flowchart somewhat informative.
- mashmac2 16y agoI've been talking with friends about founding a company and we disagree on which direction to go. I'm going to use this chart to figure out where we each stand and how close/far from each other we are. It looks like it'll be great for that.
- csomar 16y agoThere are certainly lots of opportunities to make money on the Internet, though, only few do get it. The point is to find out a niche and value your market, predict if it's going to make a ROI or not. Then work on it. You may need programming skills, you may not (copywriting, design, affiliate marketing...). However, the more skills you have the better, and the cheaper you'll bootstrap your business. Persist. It won't be that easy and you may have to wait for months to get results. And yes, this is really an amazing thing, to make money from the Internet, regardless of your location, language, country or education level. You are your own boss, you enjoy freedom and also an unlimited potential of income.
- demet8 16y agoI couldn't agree more with your statement....
- Construct 16y agoAt the end of the day, you still have to: 1) Make/sell a good product or service at a reasonable price Or 2) Be really, really good at convincing/tricking people into paying for your product/service If you do both 1 and 2 well, you're going to do well. Just one, and you'll be okay. If you're just mediocre at both, then good luck. Competition is fierce in the basic product/service sectors on the Internet now that the barrier of entry for anyone setting up an Internet business is so low.
- ThomPete 16y agoThat list primarily covers B2C. There is a whole set of options in the B2B market it never touches.
- jpwagner 16y agoI think it would've made more sense if "services" was combined with "support" as a sub-bubble of "sell stuff." so you either (1) sell something, (2) give something a way and monetize indirectly or (3) do something illegal.
- jdietrich 16y agoIn my opinion, the wisest words ever uttered by any tech entrepreneur are these: "Make a good product and sell it for money." - DHH It amazes me that we reached the point where those words were practically heretical. I think that the entire concept of "monetization" is a relic of the dot-com bubble and deserves to die in the same fire that consumed "burn rate". I am strongly of the opinion that if you don't know how you're going to make money, it's not a business - it's a hobby. We've been blinded to the most basic principles of business by a handful of companies that made billions by accident. You might get lucky, but luck is no way to run a business.
