besides porn.. what 'industries' are making serious figures online?
 

just wondering

dating

Get rich quick schemes.

Casino's

www.playerauctions.com

Imagine $200,000 plus a year for selling imaginary goods!

Yantis is my fucking hero!

lotto

looks like the typical auction site.. what's the trick here?

what th efuck ? how can i join ?

salad tossing sites

Casinos, dating, spyware, and scams.

They are selling online game commodoties, mainly everquest items.

these items exist only on servers, inside the game, people pay cash for money, items, characters, inside a game.

Take a closer look, ever consider paying $1,800 dollars to play a video game? many people do and these guys are cashing in on the craze.

only converts with message board traffic

i know one guy clearing 50k a year playing eq. its crazy

Mail order brides

that's sick.. so basicly if i have my princess warlock character
boosted with power and magic points on some online game
i can sell it there? This really puzzles me..:eek2

Or is the cash virtual as well.. ? this is insane.

My point is, gaming auctions are big biz, and suppliers of their products are cashing in. These guys run 10 comps all day, every day, buying and selling items in game, making cash, virtual platinum, in game, then selling it for real world money to the tune of $200,000 plus a year if not more. The auction company that facilitates such sales has to be raking in the cash if one user can pull income like that from their site.
Kids as young as 12 pulling $30k a year just playing video games. The one catch is most game companies such as sony strictly forbid these sales, but this doesnt stop these guys in the least, as you can tell by looking at the site. There are 400,000+ players of just everquest, thats a helluva customer base right off the bat, no need to go looking for them, they find you!

No, the cash is real. I have a buddy that sits around all day playing EQ and Earth and Beyond and makes 6 figures a year selling the virtual goodies. He has a desk that would make intel very very happy.

Casinos are big, prescription drugs are a huge business up here in Manitoba.

holy fucking shit.. what am i doing here?

If I was to pick one to go into it would be pharmaceuticals before the drug companies and their distributors put a stop to it.

why does an online adult toy and video store go by the name
of gamelink?

What need does God have for a Starship?

fuckin idots.

here's some examples of stuff sold online that makes the porn business look SMALL.

stocks - yes stocks - online trading makes more money I'd be willing to wager than ANYTHING else online.

online banking

ads - yahoo and other search engines.

Software - everything from word processors to games.

News



just a few examples

That is unbelievable :eek2 I had no idea there were people making money from these games.

wow

Ebay has that game shit too extremely over saturated like evverything else on there:1orglaugh

But that site playerauctions gets 1.5 million hits a day and im sure most of its targeted traffic. Go out and look for hardcore game players and offer to sell their players for cash and get a cut:thumbsup

Hosting. It seems saturated, but all you need is a gimmick, a new twist on an old theme, and you can still make good money at it.

yeah.. i believe there is good money in hosting.. steady money.

Yeh, right with you, got to get them boyz on StormPay!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

OK a lamer question, on player auctions can someone elaborate on what it is they are auctioning? Just virtual game players for online games who have won a lot?

Online job sites make money. I think over 20% of yahoo's recent income was from hotjobs company it owns. Ebay makes alot of money too.

Makes $250,000 a year:

http://www.netbreakthroughs.com

Makes 40 sales a day at $10 profit a pop:

http://www.silentsalesmachine.com

$400 a day for doing fuck all

And another site making about $10,000 profit a month:

http://www.honestlotto.com

good book too

made me some lotto winnings

who the fuck are you sarah lapre?

Hhah yeah and they claim that this site makes $400,000/month "http://www.omicentral.com/"

It's not even a real site!

what you think is irrelevant

check alexa

SexySarah,

Would this stuff convert with adult traffic?

<img src="http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?w=379&h=216&r=6m&u=netbreakthroughs.com/&u=">

(lots of repeat traffic as it's a membership site)

dunno

ask the owner?

SleazyDream, you are 100% correct on Stock trading over the internet....It is a lot less work than the porn business is right now....

I spend about 4 hours per day researching various stocks and looking at charts. If anyone has about 150k lying around, it is very resonable to day trade on margin and make 10k - 20k per day.

- micropayment systems
- online music
- data aggregation
- financial screeners

I just need to bend down and pick it up off the floor

if I can be bothered

you know what's it's like

I can't walk anywhere in my house without tripping over a pile of cash

nonadult affiliate programs: credit card, loans, insurance quotes. When I worked with affiliates for the insurance website, there were master affiliates making $250,000 a month and thats on $3-$8 commissions for the most part. I think if you are not set up in that already and have been doing it for a few years , its hard to start now. It cost too much now to start up the traffic and any of the keywords that matter for that cost a fortune to bid on. It would be nice to make that kind of money and not have to worry about the police knocking on your door or who is President.

:1orglaugh

Sorry, somehow I got the impression you would know.

nope
