Online Business Opportunities In 2013 – Is It Time To Invest?

Have you been struggling with the idea of investing in an online venture. Times are changing, and more and more retail locations are hurting when it comes developing new business strategies to keep their doors open. Online enterprises have been thriving for years now due to their relatively cheap start-up and maintenance costs. In 2013 so far, there have been several online business opportunities that have surfaced, leading many people to invest in running their own company from the comfort of their own home. We have categorized the most popular online business opportunities in 2013, and will give some examples of the sources you can establish these start-ups. 

Top Online Business Opportunities

  • Selling Your Products Online
  • Selling Your Services Online
  • Affiliate Marketing (Selling Other Products Or Services)
  • Website Building & Flipping
  • Mass Advertising Sales
Selling Your Products Online

If you have a great product that your looking to sell, there is now better place to start marketing it than online. Between January 2012 and now, “Big-Box” retailers have all started to make the merge into online reselling. This is by far the cheapest way to house and sell products. You don’t need to front the costs for real estate, permits, grounds maintenance or large amounts of staff. As this type of sales channel is extremely large, there are an unlimited number of ways you can explore this online business opportunity. For maximum exposure of your products, you may want to invest in your own website and marketing team. However, you can also take advantage of mass merchant sites such as Ebay or Amazon. Developing your own web presence may take some time, however if you have a product with a good price point, shipping arrangement and overall interest, you will find yourself bringing in a steady income.

Selling Your Services Online

When you are looking to make a decent income online, you need to consider that there are literally millions of other people trying to do the same thing. If you tried selling your products online, only to find you were being pushed out by the competition, you may want to consider selling your services instead. You may find that you have a certain skill-set that is needed in a particular field of interest. You can easily establish yourself online without any original investment. Websites like Elance.com provide professionals with an outlet to showcase their particular skills and and allows them to sell their services. You will find this method to have much less competition than selling products directly.

Affiliate Marketing (Selling Other Products Or Services)

If you haven’t had much luck with the first two business opportunities, you may be better off marketing other companies products or services. Affiliate Marketing allows you to do just that. There are several different affiliate marketing networks you can subscribe to. This will allow you to have access to all the products on the market that currently pay commissions towards resellers. You can establish yourself in as many niches as you want, however most people find more success in only selling products within a certain category. This allows them to maximize their marketing efforts by concentrating on only one type of business category. Clickbank is by far one of the most popular affiliate marketing networks. All the products you sell will be digital only, however there are hundreds of other sources you can explore.

Website Building & Flipping

This one is by far my favorite. If you have an eye for design, and have some web development skills, then there is no end to the amount of income that can be earned building and flipping website. This is a very similar enterprise to that of real estate. You need to have to same type of gusto and understanding what in the market is trending. I love Flippa.com, as it is pretty much the “EBAY” of websites. There are deals happening every second so you have to move on deals just like you would buying houses. If you have the right know-how, you’ll easily be able to buy a website that needs some work, fix it, and sell it for a good profit. You do have to be careful however, as it can be very easy to get swindled if you don’t know what to look for.

Mass Advertising Sales

With online industries being born every day, the competition to get noticed is almost overwhelming. To stay ahead of game, companies invest thousands and thousands of dollars every year to have their logos and slogans displayed on a vast variety of blogs, websites, and networks. If you have a well established blog that receives a lot of traffic, you will find that this will be the key money maker for you. If you are looking to establish this type of business opportunity, it is important to develop your site or blog first, and then look into advertising. It will be a wasted effort if you can’t establish your own blog traffic.
