Business ideas on the topic “Internet. How to start a business on the Internet, personal experience What is an online business

What do you need to create your own successful business on the Internet? The answer is very simple: it is necessary that with its help others can realize their needs (b2c) or earn money (b2b). Many people forget about this, thinking only about their own benefit, which is often the reason for the failure of new projects. Let's talk about the main types of online businesses. I have personal experience in many of them, and in some I worked as a developer or SEO optimizer.

Opening an online store

Even now, when you can buy almost everything on the Internet, an online store is still an attractive business. The advantages include the fact that, unlike a number of other methods, here you can start receiving income quite quickly, under certain conditions.

This area of ​​business is far from the easiest, as sellers of a number of information products claim, and start-up investments are required here. I was convinced of this when creating my store, as well as when developing and promoting dozens of others. There will be expenses not only for creating a website, but also for advertising. It’s impossible to describe all the nuances of this business even in five articles, so I’ll say it briefly:

  • There is competition in the sale of almost any product; in some groups (clothing, electronics, etc.) it is simply enormous;
  • Start-up costs are significantly lower than opening a store offline, but the costs of attracting visitors can be much higher and are quite comparable to the rent for premises, staff salaries and other expenses of an ordinary store. If you look at it in the long term, it is far from a fact that an online store will be cheaper, as many people say;
  • The online trading market is growing (according to analytics companies). In 2010, the market volume was 176 billion rubles, in 2014 – 612. Subsequently, growth slowed down due to the economic crisis, but it is still there, unlike offline;
  • 50% of orders come from Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Selling goods without an online store

The method is gaining more and more popularity, requires less costs than an online store, but it can be scaled up and turned into a full-fledged business. People buy cheap and promising (from a sales point of view) products and sell them, often without an online store or even a website. For example, they use social networks as a platform. Or they make a one-page website for each product.

You can buy anything; today it is popular to buy goods on eBay, Aliexpress, Chinese electronics, etc. China is one of the most promising destinations; there are already companies that will not only buy goods there for you, but also send them to customers. That is, you only need to pay for the consignment of goods and find buyers, the intermediary will do the rest.

This is less profitable than doing everything yourself, but if we talk about China, they often buy goods there for a conventional 100 rubles, which in Russia are sold for a thousand.

For example, one of my friends has been buying used iPhones on eBay for several years and selling them offline through social networks and sites like Avito.

Buying a website with online income

Excellent assets are rarely sold for reasonable money. Buying a site that is already generating income is a risk. In 99 cases out of 100, the seller will ask for significantly more than his project costs. And if we talk about top sites that are completely white and have reliable sources of income, then they will ask a lot for them. However, these are exceptions; such projects are sold extremely rarely.

If you have heard something about the possibility of making money on the site, but do not understand anything about it, I do not recommend investing money in it. It’s better to invest a little in creating your own website; this will give you the necessary experience, which in the future will allow you to adequately evaluate assets.

But in general, this type of business (like any other that has risks) can be very promising. It is quite possible to buy a website that, after a small investment, will bring in much more. Therefore, it is better to buy undervalued projects that are clearly stagnating.

I myself periodically look into Telderi and buy projects that are somehow interesting to me. I recommend reading the article “Investing in Websites”, where the issue of purchasing websites is discussed in more detail.

Creating your own content sites

Creating your website for monetization in safe ways like contextual advertising or affiliate programs is an absolutely win-win option. What is the problem with most sites that make no money? The fact is that they are abandoned and not brought to fruition, and also that the owners simply do not have enough resources. But if you have money and are ready to invest it, then creating your own website will be the most reliable option that will guarantee you income.

But it's not that simple. Your income is guaranteed, but its size will greatly depend on your experience and knowledge. Yes, if you have money, then you can hire specialists who will do everything. But this is only suitable if you are ready to invest a lot of money in a large project. Otherwise, the payback period of the project and its profitability will drop greatly.

Anyone can invest one million rubles and earn ten thousand a month; you don’t need any special knowledge for this. But investing a million and earning 50-100 thousand a month without experience will not work.

Internet business ideas

Here I will briefly list a number of ideas that I would classify as b2b or b2c. In fact, you can come up with a lot of interesting options; the Internet provides very great opportunities for business.

Web Studio

  • Big competition;
  • There is a demand for services for creating and promoting websites;
  • Start-up investments may be minimal.

You can read more in the article “Earning money by creating websites”, where I discussed this issue in some detail, so I will not discuss the web studio as a business in detail here.

A highly specialized company

It could be a copywriting studio, graphic design studio, etc., there are many options. Go to any freelance site, look at the categories of orders there. You can create your own company to work with almost any category. Your task will only be to find clients; the costs of opening such a business will be minimal, but there are difficulties and certain nuances. Let's look at the example of a copywriting studio.

To get started you will need:

  • Website;
  • Editor;
  • Copywriter staff;
  • Advertising campaign.

The key is a good editor (if that's not you). The quality of the texts will depend on it, and for a copywriting studio it must be at its best. It takes quite a long time to form a staff of copywriters; you need not only to find smart authors, but also to find more of them than you need, just to be on the safe side. You have no right to miss deadlines.

A similar scheme applies to any field, be it design, programming, video creation, animation, etc. That is, you must have at least one employee working on a permanent basis who really understands the topic. It's not worth saving on it.

Each field of activity has its own characteristics, but the advantages of such narrowly focused companies include the fact that over time a pool of regular customers is formed, which allows them to reduce advertising costs. Or you can not reduce them and expand your business further.

Competition in any field is quite strong (including with an army of freelancers), but there are no fewer customers for services. The advantage of narrow specialization is lower startup costs.

Infobusiness

I wrote in detail about information products in this article. A promising direction that can be easily scaled. But you can not only work according to the “make an information product and look for buyers” scheme, but also make them to order. Once I came across a company that conducts market research based on sources on the Internet; they charge 20-30 thousand rubles for their services. That is, they simply search for all the information and provide it in a digestible form.

This is not as simple as it might seem at first glance, it is quite possible that they buy market reviews and other analytical materials from RBC, but I think the line of thought is clear. Today businesses are ready to pay for information - think in this direction.

Services and applications

There are so many things you can come up with here that the list would be a couple of articles long. From a link exchange or a position checking service, to an electronic currency exchanger or a website builder. Here you have two options, each with pros and cons.

The first is to copy an already working service, but yours will be more convenient/cheaper/functional, etc. The cost of attracting users will be high, because they already have an alternative. It is guaranteed to work only if you do it very well, much better than your competitors. It’s a pity that in business nothing can be guaranteed in advance.

In the second case, you implement an original idea, do something that no one has done before. An example is advertising exchanges for social networks, those who were the first to collect all the cream. But it is quite possible that no one will need your idea and there will be no demand.

What to choose? In the second case, the potential income can be much greater, but the risks are much higher. In the first case, you will definitely have income (if you do everything well), but it is not a fact that it will be large, because there is already competition. And the service market may be narrow; you can also guarantee that even from a very bad competitor, all users will not switch to you. So you have the classic choice between a bird in the hand or a pie in the sky.

However, from the point of view of online business, this option should be considered first. And you can’t do this without a business plan; you must very accurately calculate everything, especially expenses. It often happens that the service seems to be good, but there is not enough money for advertising. Or they launched an advertising campaign, but the service is crude and has errors.

I treat this direction with special warmth, because... I myself often launch mini-startups and read online industry publications. For example, I created a freelance exchange for photographers photo-lancer.ru ( the site was sold for pennies, the buyer abandoned the project), with this idea I went to a business incubator (in the IT park, Kazan), where it was rejected. I abandoned the project because... decided to concentrate on the business of his web studio. But startupers often come to my studio, I work quite closely with this category of customers, there are even several projects that have already been launched, but most of them, as a rule, are closed due to underfunding or a change in priorities.

Game creation

People love to play, people often spend a lot of money on games, buying virtual currency or items. The main difficulty is that the era of browsers has already passed, and creating a full-fledged 3D MMORPG or shooter requires huge investments. But browser games have been replaced by social networks and mobile applications, where the entry threshold is tens and hundreds of times lower.

Successful and popular games on social networks earn millions of dollars, the same Facebook gives you the potential to attract tens of millions of players from all over the world. Another thing is that projects like Angry Birds are made by professionals who have a large budget not only for development, but also for advertising, it is difficult to compete with them. But it is quite possible to create a business in this area, the prospects are not getting any smaller.

In the gaming business, not only the financial component is important, without which nothing will definitely work out, but also the idea, on which everything depends. There is no point in copying successful projects; you need to develop your own.

"Million Dollar Idea"

I know everything about Facebook, Twitter and other services that, from nothing, have become companies valued at billions of dollars. These success stories are often told as examples and used for motivation. But no one talks about thousands of projects that have disappeared and no one remembers them. And their authors also thought that they had a “million dollar idea.”

What I mean is that if you implement a hundred original ideas, one of them may succeed. It's very difficult to predict anything new, and that's the problem. Such online business ideas should not be done with the last money; they are often done according to the principle “it won’t work, oh well” and not with the last money.

There is a very simple cure for such ideas: a business plan. If you approach its preparation very carefully, the prospects for the project become much clearer. Therefore, if you have the next brilliant idea, like a social network for dogs or for redheads, think carefully about everything before investing money or looking for it.

Conclusion

Of course, I have not listed all types of online businesses. Business is a systematic activity whose main objective is to make a profit. From this point of view, almost any area of ​​​​activity on the Internet can be turned into a business.

There was a time when blogs were started by amateurs who did not think about advertising income. Then they began to earn money, and professional bloggers came on board, for whom their blog is the main source of income. Well, then companies appeared that made a business out of it. This can be said about VKontakte public pages, link trading, copywriting. The list can be endless.

There are thousands of ideas. The Internet itself is a very powerful tool for business. Real companies and people spend money here. Your task is to determine the points where these cash flows go. Or offer them a new path.

A section about new and always relevant business ideas on the Internet for beginning freelancers and entrepreneurs who decided to open their own business in 2018-2019, but do not know where and how to start making money from scratch, including without large initial capital.

Note that the term "online business" can be used for any business or commercial transaction that involves the exchange of information online.


Ethereum mining Continuation of the business idea About online business and making money online

In our time, which is rightly called the century of modern technology, business on the Internet is developing at a rapid pace. It is quite difficult to develop successful ideas on your own, especially since most of the methods are already freely available. The main thing is to know where they are all offered and how to use them. Today the Internet is one of the most popular methods of earning money.

In the “Internet business” section, only the most profitable options, often requiring absolutely no investment, are considered. In the vastness of the World Wide Web, you can come across strategies that offer profits after certain monetary deposits. You should understand that you need to be extremely careful not to get involved in a financial scam, therefore, when looking to make money in this area, it is better to seek the help of specialists.

We have selected exclusively profitable and working Internet business ideas for you. Many ways to earn money, open and transparent business plans - all this can be found here. The strategies were selected based on our own experience, as well as from successful examples of people who were able to achieve high incomes online. It should be noted that this particular type of entrepreneurial activity is suitable for both experienced businessmen and beginners - students. In addition, in many cases it does not require specialized knowledge in software, significant financial expenses, and allows you to plan your working day independently.

Like any business, it’s better to build an Internet business on what you do best and what you’re passionate about. Make a list of 3-4 activities. It is important to keep in mind that a business that is successful offline will not necessarily be as successful online. For this reason, each type of activity needs to be tested in search engines (Google, Yandex).

Your task is to analyze the number of real queries in each direction that potential clients type in search engines. This information is collected in a database and is a mirror image of the market, i.e. those problems for which potential clients were looking for solutions on the Internet.

To do this, you can use Yandex Wordstat services or the Google keywords tool. For each area, you need to select at least 1000 phrases and, based on subjective criteria, select the most interesting ones for business (about 20%).
By doing this work manually, you will begin to better understand which of your products or services users are most often looking for.

You also need to highlight a list of competitors (for each direction) and briefly describe their offers. Be sure to study your competitors’ advertising online: types of goods (services), keywords, headlines.

By doing this work, you will learn which of your areas are more promising, and what products within each area should be offered.

The next step will be to create a website and fill it with relevant text materials (the topics and keywords are already known to you).

A prerequisite is monitoring site statistics. You need to know how many visitors come to the site, for what key queries and what other information on the site they look at. At this stage, you can already offer some goods and services and offer to fill out a pre-registration or purchase form.

You need to understand that customers are primary; more precisely, you should be interested in the active actions of customers, for example, clicking a button to place an order.

Products can be quickly found if orders come in; it’s more important to understand what works and what doesn’t. You do not incur any logistics costs yet; we always start by forming a flow of customers, and only then the products themselves. This can be done in parallel, but you should not start with the purchase of goods or production before you get your first customers.

So, you have determined which queries attract the most visitors and which of them are in real demand and people are trying to buy them. Now you can add a real online store of relevant goods or services to your website. To do this, modules for maintaining a product catalog, accepting orders and paying are added to the site.

After that, fill the online store with goods. We pay attention to product cards, interesting descriptions, photographs, videos and customer reviews. Photos must be of high quality and allow you to look at the product from different angles. It is recommended to use arrows to indicate key details, such as the number of ports on a laptop. If possible, it is worth making a 3D viewing with the ability to rotate.

The structure of the site must exactly correspond to the initial sections that were created when selecting keywords. We try to do it according to sections and then subsections with more detailed requests.

For example:
Wash off paint - How to wash off acrylic paint
Wash off paint - How to wash off oil paint
Remove paint - How to remove graffiti
Remove paint - How to remove old paint

On the given pages we create interesting articles that correspond to the queries asked by clients and in these articles we introduce blocks for purchasing recommended products, with the help of which you can solve the problem of a site visitor.

Analysis of user actions shows that people get to these pages directly, bypassing the main page of the site from search engines and contextual advertising. We organize access to this structure through the “Articles” or “Blog” menu.

Separately, we create navigation by manufacturers, nomenclature and types of goods that open specific product cards for purchase. This navigation is already located in the main menu. Usually in the left block on the site for a quick search for the desired type of product.

In parallel with this, you need to find suppliers of goods, recruit staff for customer service and delivery services.

It is advisable to immediately divide the entire process into weakly dependent areas: customer search (lead generation), sales people (salec), those who take orders and know how to sell over the phone, the department for working with existing clients (account management). This makes your business initially more stable and difficult to grow, since everyone is engaged in a narrow range of tasks and does not have all the necessary skills. You will have to spend some time writing instructions for staff (creating regulations). This is very important because if you need to replace a person, you will have a list of tasks that the new hire must do. Consider it from this point of view - a quick replacement of a mechanism assembly.

Immediately, from the first profit, reserve from 10% to 40% for attracting clients: search engine optimization, Yandex-Direct contextual advertising, Google Adwords, banner advertising, etc. (the choice of channel depends on the characteristics of your business).

Many businesses fail precisely because they disproportionately spend resources.
We will definitely create project pages on social networks that will promote your Internet resources. Present your business there, attract potential clients, stimulate positive discussion, collect feedback, etc.

An effective method of dealing with customer objections is video reviews of your products. On video hosting sites like YouTube, you should offer “supporting” materials: video presentations of products, training videos for clients (for example, a set of exercises using the simulator that you sell).

Don’t neglect posting links to the selling pages of your website on different resources. Such resources can be specialized forums, professional communities, hobby communities, etc. Communicate actively in them, become an expert, and the number of clicks on your links will increase.

Is your online business working and making you a profit? Don't relax. Competitors are improving their offers, new business projects are emerging, and consumer tastes are changing. Don’t stop monitoring what’s happening in your Internet business niche, analyze the statistics of your resource and develop it.

So, a typical step-by-step plan for creating an online business:

  1. Selecting several topics and directions to which you have a soul, i.e. It's interesting to do them. There must be several such topics (mandatory)
    We focus on:
    • What can you do
    • What do you have a talent for?
    • What is of value to the client
  2. Market analysis - compiling a semantic core for each topic and identifying the main key queries from Yandex and oogle statistics
  3. Analysis of market occupancy on these topics. We make a list of competitors and their websites. We analyze what and how they sell.
  4. We analyze which competitors provide contextual advertising and give these areas the highest priorities.
  5. We plan the structure of sites in these areas and start the process of filling them with relevant articles
  6. We collect primary statistics and, where the flow of visitors began, we attach mechanisms for accepting orders and payment, i.e. We create online stores and fill their catalogs with goods.
  7. We are looking for suppliers of these goods and setting up an order acceptance and delivery service.
  8. We are constantly working on website analytics and highlighting the most popular areas.
  9. We are launching paid channels to attract customers.
  10. We launch related projects on social networks and video hosting sites for information support
  11. We are working on external link mass and other channels for attracting customers.
  12. We are gradually increasing the volume of useful content and the range of products sold.
  13. We repeat the process for other lower priority topics.

Create new projects and happy sales!

Making money on affiliate programs: where to start

For aspiring entrepreneurs, affiliate programs are an excellent start in developing their own business on the global network. An affiliate program is a commercial interaction between the owner (manufacturer) of a product (service) and his partner, usually acting as a seller or advertiser.

Earnings from the affiliate program depend on the volume of goods (services) sold, carried out precisely on your recommendation or after following a link from your website. In other words, the entrepreneur here receives a certain percentage of profit from the partner goods (services) sold with his help.

How to Avoid Scammers on the Internet

There are perhaps even more dishonest people on the Internet than in real life, since here you can easily act anonymously and avoid any responsibility for deception. We present to your attention valuable tips on how to avoid falling into the hands of scammers:

  1. It is necessary to pay for services only through well-known and trusted electronic payment systems;
  2. You should not make an advance payment at the first request of your partner (employer); most often, after receiving the initial payment, the scammer will never contact the defrauded user again;
  3. It is best to work through third-party services and resources that regulate the relationship between the contractor and the customer, and not to cooperate on simple trust and hope that the partner will definitely pay for the service or product;
  4. You need to carefully check the name of the site in the address bar, as sometimes scammers disguise their sites as famous domain names, changing only one letter (number);
  5. You should be suspicious of too loud promises like “earn $1000 in the first week of work” or “we will bring your site to 1st place in search results in one month”;
  6. You should never be embarrassed to ask advice from more experienced specialists, even if the question seems naive, because a beginner in the field of Internet business does not know much and the emergence of many questions is a common occurrence.

How much can you earn from your own business?

You can earn different amounts of money at different stages of your business. Much also depends on the niche in which the entrepreneur decides to develop his business. Let's give a few examples so that everyone can have at least a little orientation in the prospects of creating their own project on the network.

  1. Creating your own team to provide services - at the initial stages, web designers, programmers and copywriters earn small amounts in the range of $150-300 per month. As the name of the team is promoted and experience and regular customers are gained, this amount can increase to $1000 per month for each individual performer. For copywriters, this is often the ceiling for development, but programmers can reach an earnings level of several thousand dollars a month.
  2. Creating an online store – everything here also depends on the age of the project and the chosen niche. At the initial stages, entrepreneurs often work simply to recoup the funds spent on the purchase of goods. After 6-12 months, with proper website promotion, you can achieve sales worth several hundred dollars in net profit. After a year, you can confidently talk about earning over $1,000, and with a successful combination of circumstances, you can turn your project into a global giant, and then the profit goes to tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  3. Earning money from affiliate programs and advertising - this type of business is not so promising, but it can also bring good money to its owner. The average affiliate program webmaster earns about $200-400.

Creating your own online business is a good opportunity to get a source of permanent income, often passive. In the first stages, you shouldn’t be upset if you don’t even earn $100 in net profit per month.

As the project develops, the profitability of the business will increase. In many cases, achieving high goals takes several years, so it is extremely important for any entrepreneur to draw up a far-sighted development strategy and not deviate from it at the first failures at the start!
