Yes! You Can Do Business Online
Online Shopping If before 10 years, purchasing online was only limited to businessman or to people with good knowledge, nowadays everybody with a credit card or bank account can easily shop anything around the world. Ebay & Amazon were amongst the first who risked and see where they are now, hundreds of thousand sales each day. The World Wide Web (WWW) makes it extremely easy for anyone doing business online. Many people started selling different stuff on eBay, they firstly started their own old things but later, they started purchasing stuff from China and they sold them on eBay and other similar sites. Online Shopping is the mother category, from that there are other tens of business models which were created, and everything was done from the Internet. Drop shipping might be a new term for many of you so let me explain it in a couple of words; Alright you have found a nice person in China or somewhere else who produces good clothes or watches, you list them on eBay without owning them and when someone purchases from you, you give to the Chinese manufacturer the buyer's details. You see? Everyone is happy, the buyer gets the product, you get paid lets say 50 dollars and you pay the Chinese manufacturer 10 dollars. So it seems we live in Utopia right? Well, you are wrong! If we have white, there will be black as well and that's the dark side of doing business, the illegal way, the fraud way. In many countries committing fraud is considered a criminal charge. So here is the black side of doing online business. Instead of selling genuine watches or branded clothes, you sell replicas. An original pair of Armani jeans might cost something around $300-$500 but Chinese are producing them for like 20 usd, they add Armani tags and so on and people cannot understand whether they are genuine or not (at least from the Internet). We can say that the Internet has helped massively in globalization and it has helped especially China and their manufactures. Another interesting billion dollar industry related to online shopping is the Affiliate Industry where basically you get a commission for every sale that has been done via your affiliate links. Affiliate Industry has many breakdowns but we are talking about cost per sale type of affiliate marketing Porn Industry In every 10 new sites, 3 of them are adult related sites. This shows once more the human nature, geared towards sexual activities. We can't blame anyone, but since it has such a big demand, adult related companies are making a lot of money as well. Yet again Porn industry has thousands of sub-categories where there is money for everyone. One of the latest trends are Webcam sites, where basically female webcam models (or even male ones) show themselves live and they get paid like 20 dollars per hour or something like that. This kind of sites offer an affiliate program where every publisher will get paid a particular amount of money for every new member they refer. Ewhoring was born! Different "blackhatters" pretending to be females have tricked hundreds of thousands of horny man and they have made piles of cash. You see the connection? Internet has opened new possibilities for everyone, either being an ewhore or being a designer. You don't have to work 9-7 at MacDonalds and get paid 7.50 usd per hour anymore Gambling Online Casinos, online sportsbook, online horse racing, online... online everything! Why should you leave the comfort of your house when you can gamble right away from your computer? Gambling is another billion dollar industry which is still arising with the newly coming Internet users. Even though different governments are not allowing people to gamble or to bet, there are ways to bypass every single measure (using proxies, opening offshore bank accounts and so on) Since gambling is a wide industry, different sub-categories have been created. People claiming to sell e-books on "How To Beat Casinos" or people selling guaranteed results or even people "predicting" the unpredictable. Another form of betting / gambling is even FOREX (Foreign Exchange Market) Before 5-10 years it was almost impossible trading without proper licensing whereas today, you can register in one of the many forex trading platforms, you deposit 100 dollars and you start your journey Internet is growing in tremendous steps and making money online is becoming simpler and simpler! The key to success is localizing! You cannot open an eBay-like site and compete against the world. You can open one for your own country, if there is already one, find something which hasn't been done yet. In most 3rd world countries, the Internet is extremely profitable, so you can do your research, lets say what is currently succeeding in USA, clone it and do it for your own country. I hear you saying, but in my country there aren't many internet users or the economy is not strong, well you wont lose anything and don't forget, entrepreneurship is all about taking risks and its up to you whether to do business online or not, but after 5-10 years you will understand that you were wrong but it would be too late... so act now!
