I have been in internet business since 2011. And in this article I want to tell you the whole truth - how to start an Internet business from scratch. The information in this article is likely to go against what you are accustomed to hearing and reading on the subject. So get ready. Now we will break your stereotypes.

If you are only thinking about how to start your Internet business, then most likely you do not have a lot of money. And if you think that this is your main problem, then you are greatly mistaken.

Your main problem at the start of an Internet business

It's just fine that you don't have money. Seriously. All my experience shows clearly - if a person has money at the start of his business (on the Internet or off the Internet), then everything always ends the same way. He puts them in the wrong place. He seeks to leave "on the money." And as a result, he loses all his money.

And the fact that he is losing money is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that a person forever develops a “negative reflex” associated with business. It's like a child getting burned on a hot kettle for the first time. And then he will never stick his hands in there.

And it's the same with internet business. Once burned - and no more rolls can lure a person to try again.

But if there is no money, then you have to think. Think - where to get traffic for free, how to make a site for free, how to sell it harder. And that's when you start to develop the skills you need to run an online business.

Yes, this is your main problem right now. You don't know anything. Internet business is only on the selling pages of infobusinessmen it is so cool, easy and pleasant. In fact, you have a lot to learn and a lot to learn before you hear the sound of the first coins in your electronic wallets.

And what are those skills? Here are the top three skills to successfully run your online business.

3 main skills of an Internet businessman

Traffic

The most vital skill for any kind of online business is the ability to attract targeted visitors. This is also called “marketing” on the Internet. That is, you need to learn how to make sure that many people come to your selling sites who in theory can become your clients.

It’s not a fact that they will still pay you money and turn into real customers, but attracting an audience is step number one.

In order to attract potential customers, you need to learn. This is the most important source of commercial traffic on the Internet today. And first of all, this is Yandex-Direct. If you still have illusions in your head about the fact that you are, and he will do everything for you, forget about it.

No one will do anything to you even for a million rubles (if you had one). In the beginning - only themselves, and only with their own hands.

Next, you need to learn how to work with targeted advertising on social networks, with SEO traffic, with teaser advertising. These are all completely different systems, and they work in completely different ways. If you want to learn everything at once - take my course. He will help you a lot.

Website development

To convert traffic into sales, you need at least one selling platform. If you are confident that you can do business entirely through social networks, then you may not need a website. You just create some kind of VKontakte group, and it will work for you instead of a website.

But in the vast majority of cases, you still need to have a website. Let it be just one page on the Internet. But she should be. Moreover, in reality you will need a lot of such pages (trust my experience).

Now there are many different online designers that allow you to create pages on the Internet quickly and effortlessly. And this creates a false feeling that making a website is easy.

In fact, putting blocks from the constructor and writing something into these blocks does not mean making a website. You will need to learn at least the basics of html in order to be able to perform simple actions with sites without the participation of programmers. This is also a skill, and it also takes time.

Copywriting

The main way to sell on the Internet is to write sales texts. Even if you sell personally via Skype or through correspondence on social networks, you still cannot do without copywriting.

Because copywriting is the psychology of sales. You need to learn to “see” your target audience. Understand what language they speak. Feel the pain they are in. Be able to choose the right words so that the person on the other side of the screen understands you and believes you. To improve your copywriting skills, download my free book. This will already be a good step forward.

These are the three skills you need to start pumping now: traffic, websites, copywriting. And for this you just need to start doing any business from the list that I give below. You do not need to set any global goals now. You just need to learn how to perform the simplest actions on the Internet.

Imagine a child who only yesterday began to take the first hesitant steps. So you come up to him and ask - "Where are you going?" He doesn't go anywhere, he just walks. And he walks in order to strengthen his muscles, learn to keep his balance.

The same should be true for you. You are not going to some goal of “taking over the world”, you are just repeating simple movements, developing and developing your skills:

And in order to make it more fun and faster - choose one of the five main options for online business. choose any option. Then you can change the direction of activity as many times as you like.

Top 5 Internet Business Options: Pros and Cons

Partnership programs

This is perhaps the easiest way to start your own business via the Internet. The advantage of this method is that you do not need to have your own product to start earning. The disadvantage is that you cannot manage the entire sales chain.

An affiliate program is when you find some interesting product and start advertising it on your selling platforms. For each sale, you earn a commission - a percentage of the purchase price.

The problem is that there are not so many truly high-quality affiliate programs. And most often these are some kind of information products (courses, trainings). See more about affiliate programs in the infobusiness.

I myself am not a big fan and a craftsman to make money on affiliate programs. All I do in this direction is sometimes I place affiliate links in my articles on the site. But without a special system. However, I somehow manage to earn 2-3 thousand rubles a month only from these affiliate programs.

If you take this business seriously, you can bring income to an acceptable level. They say that there are people who monthly earn 100-200 thousand rubles from affiliate programs alone.

infobusiness

This option is suitable for those who love independence. Here you will have to make your own information products and sell them yourself. But you will also earn much more than in the same affiliate programs.

In affiliate programs, you will receive 10-20% of the cost of the product, and you will receive 100% from your products. In addition, you will have the opportunity to fully control the sales funnel. You can change something if it doesn't sell well.

The main disadvantage, of course, is that in order to run a successful information business, you need to know and be able to do something that other people want to learn. You can either dig into your old competencies, or choose a new one and quickly learn from books and practice. See more about how to start an infobusiness from scratch.

Network marketing

Network marketing or MLM (or as it is now fashionably called “network marketing”) is not for everyone. This is a very specific type of business on the Internet. I'm not saying that it's bad, or that there are only scammers. Even opposite.

I believe that it is MLM that will allow you to very quickly pump the necessary skills for an online business. Of the benefits - good training, and again, you do not need to have your own product.

Of the minuses - people do not like the network business (because they do not like it when they are recommended something for money). Another drawback is that today, in fact, a lot of financial pyramids have been divorced, which are covered by network business. In fact, there is no product there, and it all comes down to the fact that you pay for someone to pay you from below the structure.

If you do not have much experience in the network business, then it is very difficult to distinguish a real MLM from a financial pyramid. And chances are good that you will fall into one of them. But that's why they're mistakes, to learn from them. Maybe network marketing is right for you.

Blogging

Blogging is not 100% business. Most often, earnings there do not come from the sale of a product, but from advertising. That is, you create some kind of platform, fill it with useful and interesting content, and promote it. And then you put ads there for money.

However, this does not mean that blogging cannot make good money. On the contrary, it is a great and very profitable way to earn a lot without selling anything at all. For example, if you have a content site on the Internet with a traffic of 15 - 20 thousand people a day, then you can easily earn 100 - 150 thousand a month from advertising alone.

Of the minuses - you have to work very long and hard before you see the return on your blog. To reach the level of 15 - 20 thousand uniques per day, you will need about two years of work (and this is provided that you do everything right right away).

By the way, blogging can be not only classic. You can make your own VKontakte group or YouTube channel. This will also be blogging, only social. There, you will focus not on SEO, but on the viral distribution of content. If you are sure that you don’t want to sell anything to anyone, then blogging is probably the best fit for you.

Selling goods from one-pagers

The last option for an online business in our today's "review" is running your own online store. Only this is not a big online store with a bunch of items of goods, its own logistics system and other attributes.

You can make your own small “online shop” literally on your knee. To do this, you need to do, place some product there, and start traffic.

In words, everything looks easy, but in fact there are a number of pitfalls. The biggest disadvantage is the need to deliver the goods to the buyer. It is logistics that most often becomes the reason why it is not possible to conduct business through one-pagers. Goods go for a long time, people refuse to buy, and so on and so forth.

On the plus side, living goods are easier to sell than, say, the same information products. In a living physical product, its value is immediately clear. Read more about. And also about what it should be.

In general, a one-page business is probably the only “real business” that can scale up to many millions of earnings per month (and make it stable and not closed to you, as the owner of the business).

Therefore, if you think broadly, it is best for you to sell goods through landing pages.

Summary

In conclusion, let's once again summarize everything that has been said in this article.

• If you do not have money at the initial stage of building a business on the Internet, then this is good. So it is much more likely that you will learn to think correctly before investing money somewhere;
• To run a successful online business, you need three main skills: the ability to attract traffic, the ability to quickly make high-quality sites, the ability to sell and convince with texts (copywriting);
• There are five main types of Internet business, and you need to start any of them, just to improve your skills in practice.
• Affiliate programs are convenient because you do not need to have your own product to sell. The disadvantage is that you earn only 10-30% of the cost of the sale and cannot control the entire sales funnel.
• Infobusiness is suitable for independent people who want to make products themselves and sell them themselves. The advantage is really big money. The disadvantage is that you need to have knowledge and skills for which people are willing to pay money.
• Network marketing is a specific type of online business. Its advantage is that you have a team of mentors who will train you intensively. The disadvantage is low earnings, negativity from others, a high probability of getting into a financial pyramid.
• Blogging is suitable for those who do not want to sell anything. Your job is to create an interesting and useful content platform, and then earn money by placing ads on it. You can earn a lot and constantly. The disadvantage is that you have to work for a long time before your blog starts making money.
• Selling products from one-page sites is the only "real" business on the list. It can be scaled and completely excluded from the business process. The disadvantage is that you have to deal with the logistics of goods and deal with very high competition.

I hope now it has become clearer to you what is the best way to start an Internet business from scratch. And in just a couple of years, you will have your own real money machine online. Don't forget to download my book. There I show you the fastest way from zero to the first million on the Internet (squeezed from personal experience over 10 years =)

The first thing that comes to mind is to make your own website and make money on it. Today, there is enough information on the Internet, and, puzzled, you can create your own website using free engines and templates. But For a website to be profitable, three principles must be observed:

1. You must be a guru in the topic you choose. The abundance of all kinds of sites creates wild competition, and in order to reach a full-fledged income, it is necessary, in addition to money, to invest your soul in the site;
2. Utility. Your website should be useful first and foremost. If it does not bring practical benefits to visitors, then it will be practically useless for making a profit on the Internet;
3. Regular work. Only regular and painstaking work will allow you to find your niche. Online business, although it seems like a simple matter, but without perseverance and daily work, you can’t count on something.

But let's say you already have your own website, useful and regularly filled with interesting information. The main question is - how to monetize your traffic. There are several options.

1. Use an affiliate program (For example, a teaser);
2. Earn on contextual advertising - Google adsense- the most profitable option, YAN(Yandex advertising network);
3. Sell ​​links (Best link exchanges - pr.sape.ru , gogetlinks.net);
4. Work with direct advertisers (This requires that the site has good traffic).

Let's briefly consider each of these options for earning money and creating an online business. To make money on affiliate programs, you must have a link to an affiliate online store on your website.

Visitors who come to you will follow this link and buy something. A percentage of the value of the goods will be credited to your account.

Another option for online business is to sell links from your site. If you have good indicators, then the links can be quite expensive. The meaning of such entrepreneurship is that the link promotion strategy is still used by many SEOs.

The earnings scheme is as follows: you place an advertisement for this agency on your resource, visitors order the construction of a frame house from them, you get your percentage. Profit! Considering the cost of construction, the percentage can be very impressive.

Earning level depends on many factors. The minimum you can get from a site with 1,000 visitors per day is $50 per month, the maximum is $300.

Again, there are very bold topics, for example, if you have a site about private jets, then with attendance of 200 people a day, it can bring up to $ 3,000 a month, or even more.

How to make money on the Internet on texts: we create a copywriting agency

We get a huge amount of information from the Internet. We read a bunch of articles, news and announcements. But someone writes these articles, and has a good income on them.

What is needed for this?

1. Find smart authors;
2. Find customers for the texts that your authors will write.

Everything seems to be simple? But it was not there. Firstly, it is not so easy to find an intelligent author. The director of a copywriting agency lives off the difference between paying a copywriter and receiving money from a customer. This means that you will earn more the less you pay your employees.

But good copywriters are expensive, and you will get practically nothing, and the bad ones write accordingly. And this means that you will have to spend your time checking and correcting the work of the authors.

Of course, you can also hire a proofreader, but again, this is an extra waste. Therefore, the agency as an Internet business is suitable only for those who are themselves talented copywriters and can spend some time checking and editing texts.

Copyright rates today

• Standard news, 1000 characters in size: 50-80 rubles (For 1000 characters without spaces);
• Creative article: 80-120 rubles;
• SEO article: 80-150 rubles (And even 500 rubles for 1000 characters. Very experienced copywriters, gurus in their field charge so much for their work);
• Technical texts: 100, 200 rubles.

Minimum quotation for articles today is 30-50 rubles per thousand characters without spaces.

Is it possible to make good money this way?

Yes. A good copywriter writes about 10,000 - 15,000 characters in 1 day. Let's take the minimum. That is, from one employee per day, provided that you have 40 rubles left from 1000 characters of his text, you will have 400 rubles.

If you have 8 employees, then this is 3200 rubles per day, and per month, taking into account weekends it's 70400 rubles. For work at home and part-time employment is very even.

SEO agency as a business from scratch

If you have been “living” on the Internet for a long time, and the words “SEO”, “promotion” and “search engines” are not an empty phrase for you, you should try to become the head of an SEO agency. Naturally, here you can not do without specific knowledge.

Yes, you will not move the site to the top yourself, but you will need to communicate with customers, and write wasted if you lose face.

And you won’t be able to pick up an intelligent SEO specialist, since you won’t be able to check the quality of his work if you yourself don’t understand this topic. As a result, you can get money, get a bunch of negative reviews and, quite realistically, a subpoena.

How much can you earn with an SEO agency online? Let's calculate approximately. The promotion of one site costs the owners 20-40 thousand rubles a month. This means that you can earn from 10,000 to 100,000 rubles from the site.

Thus, this is not a bad online business idea, but you need to be well versed in this direction. You will start with smaller amounts.

How to make money online with your YouTube channel

Another small business on the Internet can be called. This work is called vlogging - or video blogging.

Problem one- there are a huge number of projects on YouTube, so in order to beat competitors and make money, you need to offer Internet users something really outstanding from the mass of the same type of channels. To do this, read user reviews.

You can make money on video blogging, that is, open an Internet business on YouTube, through contextual advertising, direct advertisers and by offering products from affiliate programs, a link to which is affixed in the product description.

for instance, one of the most profitable areas is working with the Amazon store. You make video reviews of their products, and offer to follow the link and buy something. The percentage of the purchase, as usual when working with affiliate programs, is credited to the account.

To create your channel, you need to register your Google account. And then everything is simple. The YouTube service itself offers those who wish to conduct their business online convenient editors with which you can add music, special effects, process video from noise, and much more.

There is a Monetization section in YouTube settings. We connect the channel to Google Adsense, and start earning the first money. Profit depends not only on visits, but also on the chosen topic.

With 3,000 users, you can earn about $6. A little? Yes, but there are thousands of channels on YouTube that have more than a million hits. Can you imagine how much they earn? What if there are multiple channels?

A personal YouTube channel is a good option for an Internet business for housewives. For example, you can do reviews of cooking delicious dishes.

The idea of ​​​​earning - your own exchange office

Many systems, such as WebMoney, offer their users to participate in their business online. You can do this in two ways:

1. By distributing currency cards. But this will not bring big profits, besides, you will completely kill your legs, in the sense that you will have to run enough;
2. By creating your own exchange office.

The exchange office of electronic currencies differs from the usual exchange office, which work from banks. In essence, you help people withdraw web money (and others) or credit them to their account, taking a percentage from clients. What is needed for this business?

In fact, there is nothing difficult. You need to register a personal passport, create your own exchange site (example https://smartwm.ru) and report it to the registry, find clients. If you decide that this business is for you, you have a lot of customer requests, then you can open your own office.

For this business on the Internet you need initial capital - and it should be at least several thousand VMZ (WMZ is a WebMoney dollar account). If there is no money, you can start work by taking a microcredit from the bank. Profit from the business is 2-3% of the amount of transactions. The more transactions, the better the earnings.

There are two ways to work in the field of this business online - as an individual and as an individual entrepreneur. In the first case, it is necessary to conclude an agreement with the client, and in the second case, write him a check.

Opening an infobusiness: online seminars, trainings, coaching

One of the most popular online businesses in our time is the info business. Since information is valuable today, you can always try to sell it. The most important thing is that you have something to sell, that is, a good project.

If you know something, have useful and rare knowledge, you can make a very profitable Internet business from scratch.

The business is suitable for both men and women. For example, girls today share knowledge about how to lose weight, do makeup, choose cosmetics or find a groom for money. As you can see, the topics are very different, but each of them can be profitable.

Men conduct online seminars on programming, website promotion, building earnings in the network. You can also write and sell books, publish magazines online with a paid subscription. Even yoga can be taught at a distance - all this belongs to the category of information business.

The only problem- such work is not suitable for everyone, since only a narrow specialist in any industry can do it. To teach someone, you have to be an ace yourself. And it is better to have confirmation that you can really be useful - for example, a diploma or at least a certificate of completion of the course.

Since you set the price for your product yourself, the earnings depend on you.

For example, a course on semantic website design costs about $200, and participation in a webinar on promoting a Facebook group costs $10 per participant. The price can reach up to $ 2,000 - it all depends on the value of the information product.

Making an online store on VKontakte

Another interesting business on the Internet from scratch is on VKontakte. This is a great platform to run your business. And its biggest plus is the availability of functionality for online sales.

This is a business for both beginners and for people who already have experience in the Internet.

But in order to engage in this business, you must have something to sell. Usually, either an online store is used for these purposes, in which you have a good discount, and then you get the difference equal to your bonus in your pocket, or goods ordered from China.

Or you can negotiate with manufacturers of goods in your city, offering them a platform for sale.

Income starts from$50 and ends up in a few hundred and sometimes even thousands. For example, the revenue of a VK store offering interesting little things and gifts on the eve of the new year is up to $ 3,000.

How to become an ISP

An option with an investment of money, and large ones. To become an Internet provider and start building a business in providing services to your target audience, you must fulfill a number of requirements:

• Pay taxes on time (you can use the simplified taxation system);
• Open a bank account.

You will also need a room where all the equipment (servers, etc.) will be located. It must be safe, which will be confirmed by the SES inspection and the fire service.

You will need an initial capital in the region of several thousand dollars and, most likely, your own staff. But on the other hand, this business is very promising, because in the last year alone, the Internet access market has grown by more than 25%. And demand creates supply.

Advertising on Instagram

This one good . You will only need to spend money on a good camera. For starters, a soap dish worth 8-9 thousand rubles is also suitable.

Correspondence processing

Large firms often hire people to handle their correspondence. Important letters should be sent to specialists, spam - in the trash. And if there is a demand, then why not offer these people your services?

An online mail order business generates approximately $300 per month one worker.

Network marketing on the Internet

No matter how scolded network marketing, but the fact remains - a huge number of people have achieved some success in it. Moreover, these successes are sometimes so impressive that one wonders how they did it. The answer is simple - to work in this business, you need not only diligence, but also perseverance.

Ideas are much more difficult to implement than to generate. Instead of spending years thinking about what kind of business to start, it is better to spend time on a business plan and building a workflow. And this article will help you understand what business to take on. Choose a rubric according to your interests and competencies, find ideas and bring them to life!

Just keep in mind: even the best product will not promote itself. To get the maximum result in terms of website traffic, conversions, leads and sales, you need a comprehensive business promotion.

Sales

Over the past year, more than 35% of Russians have made purchases online, and these numbers are only growing. Open an online store and sell those products that you are well versed in. You can do this on your website, sell through a landing page, even just through social networks. Or use third-party services - Avito, Ebay, Amazon and others.

1. Electronics beats all records for sales on the Internet. If you can find a way to compete with the big chains and minimize the risk of your gadgets getting damaged in transit, that's a good option.
2. Cloth. Many things can be picked up without trying on, and people actively buy them on the Internet - you can minimize costs by selling through social networks and offer good prices. Read in our blog about how to create an online store "VKontakte".
3. Books. Yes, paper ones. It sounds old-fashioned, but it is on the websites that they now prefer to order, because the prices in offline stores have skyrocketed.

1. Chinese products. Absolutely any: order clothes, accessories and gadgets in Chinese stores and resell online in your region - you will have an advantage over AliExpress due to faster delivery. It is only important to find a reliable supplier so that the poor quality of the goods does not lead you to losses.

3. Organic food. You can negotiate with local farmers, gardeners and mushroom pickers, find buyers online and arrange delivery.
4. Antiques. Suitable only if you understand it or want to understand it. Among the population there will always be a layer of connoisseurs of antiquity - the main thing is to reach out to them and offer a relevant product.

6. Products for children. Another niche with high margins.

There is a "Fair of Masters" for finding buyers in Russia, there is Etsy, where you can sell your handmade items all over the world.

1. Individual tailoring. With the decline in quality in the mass market, the demand for clothes made from quality fabrics, tailored to individual measurements, is growing. All you need is a sewing machine and the ability to use it, and buyers can take all the measurements themselves and send them to you on the site.
2. Accessories and bijouterie. From polymer clay, wood, metal or fabric - maybe you know how to make jewelry, but you just don't know about it.
3. Household products. It can be textiles, frames, coasters, candlesticks or dishes. But making quality things is not a guarantee of success, because it is very important to find your buyer.
4. Interior paintings. Usually they are large and abstract, and can be made to order for the needs of a particular buyer. The main thing is to find this buyer.

1. Furniture. For ease of delivery, it is better to have a small-sized or disassembled into parts - as in IKEA. You can try to negotiate cooperation with interior design studios.
2. Personalization of common items. You can engrave to order or give a second life to old things of customers.
3. Confectionery. Cakes and pastries can be made to order and sent to your region, gingerbread and candies can last a long time and be delivered throughout the country.

Come up with your own chip and implement it, study the target audience. And we will help to understand how men and women behave on the Internet.
2. Social network. Of course, you don't need to compete with VK. You need to focus on a narrower audience with similar interests.

You can repeat Dud's experience and keep an entertaining blog, or choose a field and lead discussions for specialists.

Useful Services

On the Internet, any information is publicly available, but a successful resource will be one where it can be conveniently systematized and presented to users. And also, in addition to information services, you can coordinate the work of some offline services using websites and applications.

1. Online Libraries. There are already Litres and others in RuNet, but there are not so many of them yet.
2. Library of application forms to various authorities. You can create a resource where people can quickly find and download any form.
3. Discount aggregators. To reduce competition, you can choose a narrow specialization in certain products. The structure of such a site can be quite complex: take care to draw up a competent TOR for developers.

1. Online flea market. It is convenient to implement this through the application, but with a small budget, you can even get by with social networks.

9. Photo editing service. There are many of them on the Internet, but it is difficult to navigate them, and not everyone has Photoshop. An editor tailored for specific needs, for example, specifically for SMM or retouching, may be in demand.

Consulting for individuals

Individual consultations on a variety of issues are gaining popularity on the Internet.

1. Psychological help. If suddenly you are a certified psychologist or you can hire psychologists to work, online consultations will be a good business project.

1. Career guidance for children and adults. Now everyone wants to find a calling and a job they love - some will definitely need help.

B2B services

A large and separate layer of ideas is various services for business. Outsourcing is gaining popularity: if a specialist is needed for a few hours a month, he will not be kept on staff.

1. Legal assistance. You can solve any business issues: from copyright protection to settling disputes with partners.
2. Exchange of secret buyers. Usually such employees are not kept in the state, they are needed for a short period of time. You can create a site for easy search of artists and monetize it.
3. Accounting services. More and more small businesses are choosing outsourced accountants.
4. Internet audit. Analyze the performance of websites, communities and social media accounts.
5. Remote call center. You will need employees from anywhere in the country who will receive calls for several organizations.

7. Trainings. Large and even medium-sized companies are ready to pay for employee training: from upgrading specialized skills to negotiating techniques, management and other soft skills. Such courses can be successfully promoted through social networks.

1. Software development. Business programs require a lot and all sorts of different ones.
2. Remote technical support. You can help employees work with programs or fix errors on websites.
3. recruitment agency. It seems that with the Internet, the job market has become more open, but it is not. Company representatives don't want to go through a bunch of resumes themselves looking for the right people - you can help them with this. Even the first interviews are now often conducted online.
4. Marketing agency. Why not.

7. sociological research. Conduct online surveys so businesses can improve their marketing and sales.

Crazy menu ideas

If you are adventurous and do not like template solutions, you can consider more creative ideas. Among the advantages is low competition.

1. Surprise service. The customer pays the money, names the addressee, you buy a surprise gift of your choice and send it. Beautiful content on Instagram will help promote an unusual business.
2. Raffle service. The customer pays money, names the addressee, you play him. Perhaps the drawing can also come up with a virtual one.
3. Making things according to children's drawings. The client sends you a drawing, and you bring it to life - for example, you make a toy or a household item.
4. Service for pet lovers and owners. On such a dating site, the owner of the dog, who has no time to walk with her in the morning, will be able to meet a neighbor who wants to walk in the morning with the dog.
5. Goods for singles. More and more people live alone, but food packages in stores are often designed for families. If the idea is presented correctly, singles will be happy to get rid of overpayments - and you will be able to sell small portions of food with delivery through the website and social networks.
6. Virtual friend for an hour. Since you can buy a real friend for an hour, there are also people who are willing to pay for lunch with a virtual interlocutor. It is important to correctly identify the target audience for such a project.
7. Paid newsletter with useful reminders. Apps are already emerging that remind users to get up at 8 am, do 100 sit-ups, or finally get down to business. It is easier for people to engage in self-development when they are motivated - even if it is virtually.
8. An online store where you can buy a surprise for yourself. The buyer pays a certain amount, and they deliver a product that is commensurate in cost, the more unexpected, the better.
9. Rent of different status things: jewelry, dresses, huge bouquets for photos and people to accompany at events.
10. Delivery of any goods from stores abroad. Not everywhere there is delivery around the world. Therefore, services that organize this are now relevant: you just need to find performers abroad who are ready to send the goods your customers need.

1. Organizing breakups. It's hard for people to announce the end of a relationship to their loved ones, and this weakness can be monetized: hire a psychologist who will tell you sad news over the phone for money. Such a service can be promoted through social networks - learn how to choose the right pictures for posts Rate the material:

Like any business, it is better to build an Internet business on what you are best at, what your soul lies in. Make a list of 3-4 activities. You need 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 requests in each direction that potential customers are gaining in search engines. This information is collected in a database and is a mirror image of the market, i.e. those problems that potential customers were looking for solutions on the Internet.

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

You also need to select a list of competitors (for each direction) and briefly describe their proposals. Be sure to study the advertising of competitors on the network: types of goods (services), keywords, headlines.

After doing this work, you will find out which of your areas are more promising, and which products within each area should be offered.

The next step is to create a site and fill it with relevant text materials (you already know the topics and keywords).

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 the checkout button.

Goods can be quickly found if orders go, it is more important to understand what works and what does not. You do not incur any logistics costs yet, we always start with the formation of 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 the first customers.

So, you have determined which queries attract the most visitors and which ones are in real demand and are trying to buy them. Now on the site you can fasten a real online store of the relevant goods or services. To do this, modules for maintaining a catalog of goods, 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, photos, videos and customer reviews. Photos must be of high quality and with the ability to look at the product from different angles. It is recommended that arrows indicate key details, such as the number of ports on a laptop. If possible, it is worth making a 3D view with the possibility of rotation.

The structure of the site must exactly match the initial sections that were created during the selection of keywords. We try to do it by sections and then subsections with more detailed requests.

For instance:
Wash off paint - How to wash off acrylic paint
Wash off paint - How to wash off oil paint
Wash off paint - How to wash off graffiti
Wash off paint - How to wash off old paint

On the given pages, we create interesting articles that correspond to the requests that customers asked, and in these articles we introduce purchase blocks of the recommended product, with which you can solve the problem of the site visitor.

An 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. Access to this structure is organized through the menu "Articles" or "Blog".

Separately, we create navigation for manufacturers, nomenclature and types of goods that open specific product cards for purchase. This navigation is already 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 service.

It is advisable to immediately divide the whole process into weakly dependent areas: customer search (lead generation), salespeople (salec), those who take orders and know how to sell by phone, the department for working with existing customers (account management). This makes your business initially more stable and difficult to manage, since everyone is engaged in a narrow range of tasks and does not have all the necessary skills. Some time will have to be spent on 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 newly hired person should do. Consider it from this point of view - a quick replacement of the mechanism assembly.

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

Many businesses fail precisely because of the disproportionate use of resources.
Be sure to create pages of projects in social networks that will promote your Internet resources. Present your business on them, attract potential customers, stimulate positive discussion, collect reviews, etc.

Video reviews of your products are an effective method of dealing with customer objections. Video hosting sites like youtube should offer "supportive" materials: video presentations of products, training videos for customers (for example, a set of exercises using a simulator that you sell).

Do not neglect placing links to the selling pages of your site 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 internet business working and bringing you profit? Don't relax. Competitors improve their offers, new business projects appear, consumer tastes change. Do not stop monitoring what is 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. The choice of several topics and directions to which there is a soul, i.e. interesting to do them. There should be several such topics (mandatory condition)
   We focus on:
   • What can you do
   • What do you have a talent for
   • What is the value for the client
2. Market analysis - compiling a semantic core for each of the topics 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, their sites. We analyze what and how they sell.
4. We analyze which of the competitors provides contextual advertising and set these areas as 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 has gone, we fasten mechanisms for accepting orders and paying, i.e. We create online stores and fill their catalogs with goods.
7. We are looking for suppliers of these goods and we are establishing a service for receiving orders and delivery.
8. We are constantly working on site analytics and highlighting the most popular areas.
9. We launch paid channels to attract customers.
10. We launch related projects in social networks and video hosting for information support
11. We are working on external link mass and other channels to attract customers.
12. We are gradually increasing the volume of useful content and the range of products sold.
13. Repeat the process for other lower priority topics.

Create new projects and good luck with your sales!

But, as you understand, the Internet, and the entire online business, is undergoing very rapid changes. What was relevant and profitable 3-5 years ago, today can be considered a completely hopeless occupation. Therefore, if you decide to engage in online business, then first of all you need to decide on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bearnings. Every year new niches appear that are not yet occupied, but at the same time they promise good prospects for those who will be the first to work through them and begin to develop them.
So, what are the most relevant online business ideas? In what area do you have the most prospects? Where to start and how to develop? In this article, we will try to answer all these questions, as well as give the TOP 20 most interesting online business ideas that will be relevant in 2014.

Ideas for online business: what, how and why?

Why is online business relevant? Why are more and more people trying to make money online? Well, first of all, this is due to the availability of the Internet, and the minimum requirements for an entrepreneur. You do not need to have a specialized education, good grades in a diploma, or a lot of work experience. A good idea, faith in yourself and your strengths, determination, diligence - these are the qualities that are first of all necessary for an online entrepreneur.
Also, many are attracted by the fact that some projects have a fairly low financial entry threshold. It happens that even 100 dollars is enough to say: “Well, hello, Internet. I came here to make money." Of course, not all online businesses are financially affordable. Somewhere you will have to invest thousands of dollars, but somewhere you can really start and completely without investments.
But now I would like to talk not about the pros and cons of this business, but about promising areas that have worked and will work in the next few years.

1. Social Media Consultant
I think that each of you understands that social networks are already used not only for communication and information exchange. Large companies, including world famous ones, want to be closer to their potential customers. They create communities in various social networks, try to develop and promote them. It is clear that specialists who have certain experience in this field will be involved to perform the tasks.
In the next few years, this industry will only gain momentum, and the budgets allocated by companies to promote their brands on social networks will grow exponentially. Don't miss your chance, take a bite out of this huge pie.
While this area is quite new, and not settled. If there are several dozen very competent and truly professional social media specialists in the entire CIS, then this is good. You do not have to become a super specialist, it is enough to competently organize the work of several professionals by inviting them to your Internet company. How to do it? Step by step instructions can be found in my course:

2. Creation and development of applications
We can say that the next revolution in the Internet is about to begin. Users are increasingly starting to use mobile devices (phones, tablets, other gadgets) to access the network. This opens up incredible earning opportunities for those who develop all kinds of applications for mobile devices.
Whether it's games, horoscopes, navigators, or information applications, it doesn't matter. A good idea, no less successful execution, the right presentation - and now you can already earn tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Personally, I know people who have developed a great cooking application for all known mobile operating systems. During the entire existence of the application, which is a little more than six months, 650,000 people have already bought it. The price of this application is $ 1, but they receive about 75 cents net. Here also count, what possible earnings at these children.
Many now can say that they are on “you” with a computer, and they have not heard anything about writing mobile applications. Therefore, it will be unrealistic for them to implement this project. I will say that the implementation is a technical side, and you can find a lot of techies. The main thing is a high-quality idea and its excellent presentation on the network. So everything is in your hands. Think, invent, try to realize your plans.

3. Trainings and courses

Now distance learning is becoming more and more popular. We all value time, therefore, it is very convenient to take all kinds of trainings, courses, listen to lectures in the online format.
If you consider yourself a specialist, have certain knowledge and experience, then you can try your hand at this particular issue. Someone will ask, what can you talk about? Yes, there is a huge selection. Think about what you specialize in, what your knowledge can be useful to a certain circle of people. You can talk about how to make a delicious pie or delicious pancakes, you can advise people on various legal issues, you can also conduct trainings and seminars on making money on the Internet and social networks. I know a lot of people who earn in this way, and their sphere of activity is so wide. One is a SEO specialist and gives advice on website optimization and promotion, while the other is an avid traveler and will tell you without any problems what and how to do if you are going to Europe, the USA or Asia. The main thing is self-confidence, and perfect knowledge of what you are talking about.

4. Marketplaces
Wise Jews realized a thousand years ago that it is better not to work, but to be an intermediary, earning a pretty penny from each sale of another person. John D. Rockefeller once said, "I'd rather earn 1% of 100 people's work than 100% of my own work." And indeed it is. A lot of marketplaces are doing this right now. They have a popular resource, they pay for advertising and promotion, and people simply place their goods on this resource. From each sale, the company receives a certain percentage.

Of course, it will be very difficult to create competition with already existing sites, especially if we take the scale of the whole country. But at the local level, if you create a platform for your city, then you can compete. Moreover, very often local sites create significant competition for the "big brother".

5. Crowdsourcing
Quite a new, but promising concept for our region. I am sure that many of you have never heard the term "crowdsourcing" and are a bit confused as to what it is. So, crowdsourcing is understood as using the possibilities of the crowd. For example, you need to generate a company name, a slogan, think about a logo, evaluate the quality of a site, get critical feedback on the design of something. Of course, you can hire focus groups, pay more money for it, but it's easier to do such surveys on the Internet, using all the possibilities of social networks. Believe me, many companies need to know the opinions of potential customers, and they are willing to pay good money for quality research. You just have to decide on a niche and start working.

6. Creation and development of your website or blog
Have you ever tried to write something? I'm sure that at school everyone wrote compositions, and someone did it quite well. What if I told you that you can make money on essays? There are a lot of highly specialized blogs on the network that help to find answers to certain questions. The authors of these blogs, as a rule, started to keep them for themselves, but over time, such a hobby can bring quite a good income.
If you feel that you can write well and with high quality, that your articles are interesting, that they answer current and relevant issues of our time, then try blogging. Do this not on free platforms, but on a separate site where you place ads from Yandex or Google. If your blog becomes popular, then you will be able to receive orders from direct advertisers, and these are completely different amounts.

7. Advertising agency on the Internet
It's no longer a secret that online advertising is much more effective than advertising on television, radio and print media. Experts note that in a few years, Internet advertising will be the dominant type in the advertising market.

Already now, many agencies that sell traffic are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars, and their profits are only growing. If you have funds, you can try to invest them in the field of online advertising, because this is a rather promising and promising niche.

8. Improve online reputation
We all understand that black marketing in offline business has worked, is working and will continue to work. Companies are happy to drown their competitors with all sorts of dishonest methods. The online sphere is also subject to such influence, and it is much easier to form a negative opinion about a particular company here. There are so-called "trolls" who in a matter of days can trample the good reputation of a small company into the ground. But if there is "evil", then there must be "good".
That's the kind of "good" you can become. The person who forms the online reputation of the company is the profession of the future. You are a kind of political strategist in the world of online business, a person who must expose the company in such colors so that not a single troll can put forward any counterarguments.

9. Microtasks
Sites that offer to earn money by completing small tasks are beginning to appear on the network. For example, someone needs to bring food from the store, but he does not have time. On the site, such a person finds a performer, pays a certain amount, and waits for execution. Or you can sing, you can offer yourself as a singer at some event. The tasks are different, the performers are many.
Here you can think in this direction. Create a similar site in your city or region. In the US and Europe, such resources are incredibly popular, and this allows us to make optimistic forecasts, to say that in a couple of years a similar trend will “thunder” in our country.

10. Freelance
I am sure that it is not necessary to paint in detail here. Freelance jobs are plentiful. You only need to find exchanges, sites, forums where customers hang out. Submit your resume, tell how wonderful you are, show some work, and wait for the order.

11. Travel notes
The nomadic way of life is becoming more and more popular. Many are beginning to understand that they do not want to spend their whole lives in a stuffy metropolis, that 4 walls of an apartment are not for them. Such people go on a free journey, called traveling. How do they earn money, because any trip will require certain costs. As a rule, travelers keep their own blogs, where they write notes about countries, interesting places, give advice to those who are also going to visit them. Such sites bring good money, and you will be able to see the whole world, while also earning money on your vacation.

12. Blogging or websites
When we talk about a blog, many people immediately think that some person is sitting and writing about his life, emotions, feelings, experiences. Yes, it often happens. But do not forget that there are also corporate blogs that belong to large companies. Very often, no one maintains such a blog, because company executives do not have enough time to fill it with content. You can be the one to take the maintenance of such sites under your wing. At first, you can independently maintain several blogs, and then, when the grid of sites expands, hire journalists and entrust each with your site.

13 Ghost Writer
As you can see, a lot of online business ideas are related to writing quality articles. If you see that this is yours, that the words themselves are pouring, ideas come to mind and become large, high-quality texts, then try to write on a regular basis.
For many bloggers and webmasters who independently manage their projects, there comes a moment when the site begins to bring good profit, but you no longer feel like writing. Then they hire a ghost writer to fill the site on their behalf. As a rule, the work is permanent and for a long time. There is only one minus - you will not be able to prove to anyone that the texts are yours, and the portfolio will be without a lot of high-quality work.

14. Thematic information resources
If earlier they tried to create sites about everything and for everyone, now the era of narrowly thematic information resources is coming. Choose a niche, open the topic as widely as possible, give useful tips and recommendations. Believe me, let the traffic be not 100,000 people a day, but ten times less, but this is high-quality, thematic, active traffic, which is very easy to monetize.

15. Coaching
Do you feel that you can help people solve various difficulties, find a way out of difficult life situations? Then you should try coaching. Create your own website, where be sure to tell about yourself, in all colors and details. And then you need to advertise and advise people via the Internet. At first it will be difficult, but over time, when there are already more than a dozen flattering reviews about you, and as many satisfied customers, then the work will be every day, and the profit will be enough for a quality and fulfilling life.

16. Copywriting
I am sure that many of you have heard about copywriting, perhaps even ordered texts for your sites. So, copywriting can make pretty good money. If you are just starting out, then your rate will not exceed 1-2 dollars per 1000 characters, but if you are an average copywriter, then you can count on 2-5 dollars. Top copywriters charge $10 or more for a thousand characters of quality text. As a rule, you can write 5-10 thousand very good text per day, for 10 dollars. So consider that without any problems a good copywriter earns more than $ 1,500 a month. Personally, I know people who went to the level of 3500-4000 dollars.

17. Editing
You will not find a good copywriter during the day with fire. There are many proposals, but 95% of them are amateurs who write outright heresy. But if you search, you can find a smart writer, but things are much worse with editors.
Writing is not everything. It needs to be subtracted, checked, edited, brought into perfect form. Some customers think that the copywriter is obliged to do this. Of course, his task is to write a competent text, but never be lazy to give the submitted work for proofreading and proofreading. So, if you feel that you can perfectly correct texts, then go ahead to the exchanges to offer your services.

18. Online Marketing
Are you great at selling products in real life? Why not try your hand at online marketing? In fact, sales techniques are not much different, because the psychology of the buyer is the same. Of course, it has its own characteristics, but if you were good offline, then a couple of months of training, and you will be an online sales guru.
Now online stores, and all kinds of online sales platforms, are gaining momentum. Many companies need the services of a competent marketer. Believe me, if your work brings visible results, then the “boss” will not skimp on the salary.

19. Sales of e-books
Have you decided to write a good book, or have you already implemented your plan? Now you need to sell it. As a rule, it is better to combine two types of sales: offline and online. Of course, the audience is huge, the potential is great, but a lot still depends on advertising and reviews from critics.
Therefore, this type of business is only partially dependent on you. Quite a risky business, but if you feel a talent for writing in yourself, if you are sure that everything will be fine, then try it. In fact, nothing is impossible.

20. Personal Internet Assistant
You are well versed in many areas of activity, while you love helping people? And what if you try yourself as a personal Internet assistant, who at any time of the day can find the answer to a question of interest to a person. Sounds a little strange and incomprehensible. But believe me, the idea has a place to live. Of course, it is rather raw, not rolled, but if you think it over, refine it, you can get something very interesting.
