What is the most profitable Internet business?

**Jakke PNG** · 06-26-2003, 06:59 AM

Spamming and scamming seem to go on year after year.. I think there's some money there.

**Ironhorse** · 06-26-2003, 07:01 AM

Although if you don't even have a small idea how you will make money in a venture, maybe you should seek employment instead? What kind of skills do you have?

**chshkt** · 06-26-2003, 07:04 AM

1. Internet services
2. Tourism
3. Porn

With this attitude you might have problems though.

1# Nigerian email's
2# Selling short ICQ's (preferably with a catchy slogan like 'I SALE SHORT ICQS')

Everything else is way behind

By sheer revenues it would have to be internet connectivity.

Figuring 500 of the 700 Million people online now pay about $20 on average per month that's $120 Billion per year to connect us to the Net.

But setting up an ISP will take a plethora of resource funds.

actually you can purchase lines wholesale and just pay for marketing them

**skazzel** · 06-26-2003, 08:16 AM

You can just sell your own re-branded internet access by becoming a reseller. Wholesale dial up accounts are less than $10/month, and you usually don't have to do anything except for the marketing (and tech support in some cases). I have been thinking of setting up a broadband ISP where I live, but it requires a huge investment of both time and money.

The most profitable business online is selling information. Information is rarely a commodity (meaning you can keep your margins up), distribution online is basically free (low overhead). The only costs are the production of the information and the marketing of it. You can produce the information yourself and with some smarts and creativity, marketing can be done cheaply.

Porn is an information business, but it is far from being the only one. I know a guy who sells self-published non-fiction books online (actual physical books, not e-books). He only sells about 20 books a day, but his average gross profit (before marketing expenses) per book is $30. Do the math. This guy makes more than most of the people here, does it all online, and has never had to fuck around submitting to TGPs.

porn sells, but who's buying?

Since you said profitable, I will say Porn is #1.

If you want just revenue then Internet Services is #1.

i'm capatilizing on the clean air craze.

**crescentx** · 06-26-2003, 10:55 AM

Internet Service Providers - at least of most of them - are barely afloat as I understand it, and make the majority of their profit from upsells and advertising. I know, I used to run one, and it's pretty much a daily ritual of getting reamed by the telephone company, overcharged for shit services, and being screamed at by annoying customers for things that are their fault.

Well - We both live in the same city - And I ain't had a call yet -

And I tell ya another thing Slawynski -
Now I have 100% proof it was you, your brother and Jacek Greber who trashed my car - You had better hide yours well out of the fucking way.
