Ideas for internet business from scratch. Directions and tools

The sea breeze, the rustle of palm trees and a glowing monitor on a sun lounger on a Thai beach - usually such pictures of future life are painted in the minds of those who are thinking about doing business on the Internet. The dream of our time - to work a little and get a lot - according to the unenlightened majority, will be helped by the almighty Internet. After reading and listening to success stories of entrepreneurs who have earned millions on the Internet, young people begin to think:

If he could, then why am I worse?

For the hundredth time, having stumbled upon yet another story that doing business on the Internet is easy and simple, and you can earn hundreds of thousands a month here, working several hours a day, someone starts looking for a programmer they know, and someone starts to study website builders and understand the basics of Google Analytics.

There are, of course, those who fall for the bait of quick and easy money - trying to understand binary options, online trading, CPA networks and traffic arbitrage...

Internet business is attractive because it does not require initial investment. No equipment, office, or employees are needed. You don’t even have to register an individual entrepreneur, don’t pay taxes - nothing will happen to you. Moreover, there are many options to start earning money without having anything to your name, the overwhelming majority thinks.

Is it really?

Freelancing or business?

First you need to define the concepts. What is an online business, and how does it differ from regular earnings via the Internet? If we equate Internet business and making money with it, then millions of freelancers - copywriters, designers and programmers - are the same businessmen as the creators of Google or Vkontakte.

When working via the Internet as an ordinary specialist, you only get the mythical feeling of working for yourself - a flexible schedule, a comfortable sofa at home, your own kitchen instead of a dining room... I work when I want, I don’t depend on anyone, I choose my clients, etc. However, nevertheless, you will have a boss, albeit remotely, who will tell you what, how and when to do. What kind of business is this?

Real business involves development, delegation of authority, a more extensive hierarchy and well-thought-out structure and, of course, is accompanied by legal registration, accounting and work with contracts.

No serious customer will contact a single freelancer without a legal entity.

Selling knowledge and online learning is becoming increasingly popular today.

Having started with your own video courses, you can stop, receiving passive income from sales from time to time, or go further and start developing in this area - attract other speakers, trainers and coaches, publish both paid and free video courses and videos -lessons, expand the topics of your online school courses, launch webinars, etc. Only then can it be considered a full-fledged business. And yet, the start of any online enterprise always begins with one point - creating a website.

Business on the Internet: the website is the head of everything

Making a website generate money is not an easy task for several reasons.

Website owners not only need to choose the right niche and theme for their website and constantly fill it with interesting and useful content - this is obvious and required by default. Anyone who wants to monetize their website will have to master many promotion techniques - the main one of which is SEO optimization - a dark forest in which hundreds of entrepreneurs wander. But this is another story, which we will talk about in another article, but for now we propose to consider the various options for doing business on the Internet in more detail.

Niches in Internet business

Alexander Ninburg

General Director of the Nimble service

Separately, perhaps, it is worth focusing on the most popular area of ​​​​online business - online stores. It is the idea of ​​creating a store on the Internet that first comes to the mind of a person who dreams of doing business on the Internet.

Despite its low margins in today's realities, a business built on buying and selling continues to attract budding entrepreneurs. Either this is due to laziness and reluctance to come up with and look for unique and original ideas for business, or the desire to trade is inherent at the genetic level along with the memory of the successes of black marketeers and shuttle traders of the 80-90s of the last century. In any case, today dropshippers, online aggregators and online stores of various stripes have replaced perestroika schemes. All of these options use the Internet as the main, if not the only, sales channel, which makes it possible to minimize initial investments, reduce costs and increase the margins and profitability of this business.

According to many experts and analysts, online trading is one of the few areas of business that does not slow down despite economic turmoil, changes in the macro-economic climate and political confrontations both in a single country and throughout the world as a whole. Moreover, budding entrepreneurs are haunted by the success of foreign giants - Aliexpress, Ebay and Amazon. How can you resist the temptation to start an online business by creating your own online store?

General Director of BGMT

Online stores are usually opened by people who a) are far from business and commerce, b) are far from IT. This is 80% of online store owners. They make an incredible amount of idiotic mistakes. For them to start making a profit, they usually have to go through a long and thorny path. Our practice shows that after a year and a half, such people run out of money and motivation. Even more often, people open online stores without thinking that any market has a ceiling. Especially in small towns. As a result, people spend a lot of money in the hope that sooner or later they will start making money, but this does not happen, because the one and a half customers that they had in the first month is 100% saturation of the market.

When launching an online store, you will have to face many problems that an online entrepreneur will have to solve. In addition to the standard “website creation”, “content filling” (in the case of an online store, this is filling and designing a product catalog) and “promotion” questions will be added to the list of questions such as “search for suppliers”, “logistics”, “payment arrangements” and other business processes typical of regular offline stores.

Regardless of whether you are going to open an online or offline store, you will have to start by choosing the product that you will sell. According to Pavel Gorbov, executive director of Re:Sale Expert, today the most popular areas in online trading are:

  • personal consumer goods (beauty and health; gifts, etc.);
  • personal equipment (phones, tablets, etc.);
  • household goods for everyday use (bedding, dishes, etc.);
  • jewelry, accessories (not jewelry);
  • sporting goods;
  • clothes, shoes.

On the other hand, today more conservative businesses are coming online - woodworking, chemical industry, heavy industry, agriculture, according to data from the international e-commerce center Allbiz. This opens up additional opportunities for choosing your own niche, free from competitors, which means it gives you the opportunity to take advantage of a head start and get ahead.

Peter Talantov

Founder and CEO of the flower delivery service Florist.ru

There is no single e-commerce market; there are many markets, each in its own niche - food delivery, search and purchase of air and railway tickets, purchase of equipment, search for hotels, delivery of bouquets and flower arrangements. These are all completely different businesses, united only by a common denominator - their location on the World Wide Web. As in any other enterprise, you need to find your own unoccupied niche, invest a lot in marketing, in service, in organizing the purchasing and production process.

Of course, if 15-20 years ago an online business could be started with a starting capital of $350, now one can be started (depending on the business) from $1000 and above. Behind the apparent simplicity of organizing online commerce there is a huge amount of work, in no way inferior to its offline counterparts, and competition in this area is often even higher.

From idea to internet startup: uniqueness and competition

The Internet and modern IT technologies, like nothing else, make it possible to turn any idea into a business, provided that the idea is in demand (will solve some problem) and monetizing it is not difficult.

Finding a problem and trying to solve it with the help of Internet technologies can bring considerable income in the future - the young and active startup market today is built on this statement. Here and there, young and ambitious online startups appear that offer a unique service, a solution to a problem, or a new way to make life easier, save time or money through IT.

Another thing is that not every startup grows into a normal, operating business...

CEO of Photogenics

At the moment, the photo banking market is quite developed and saturated. Market leaders now have databases of 30-50-70 million images. To create a new successful project in this segment, you need a strong competitive advantage and considerable capital. Opening a photo bank on your knees will be doomed to failure.

Competitive advantages - prices and service. At the moment, photo banks have succeeded in both the first and second questions. To “break” the market you need to come up with something revolutionary.

Business on business

However, not all online business options suffer from competition and high barriers to entry into the market. The very fact of the need and demand for the creation of websites, the presence of companies on the Internet and the creation of an additional sales channel through an online store gives rise to a whole galaxy of different options and opportunities for business on the Internet in the b2b sphere.

The only requirement in this case is the knowledge and competence of the future Internet entrepreneur in certain areas - web development, web design or Internet marketing.

Beginning Internet entrepreneurs can be divided into several categories.

The first is young and inexperienced people, with sparkling eyes and a firm belief in the success of Internet business. Often they do not have significant start-up capital and have only a vague understanding of both programming and ways to attract traffic. And yet, they enthusiastically rush into battle - to conquer the Internet, score big shots, and act by trial and error. If you fall into this category, you have two options. The first, spending Herculean efforts, master all the nuances of Internet business on your own, stubbornly pursue your goal, starting small, or do it differently - gain experience in the area in which you plan to start a business.

The second category of Internet entrepreneurs already has knowledge and competencies - they have worked as specialists in a certain field in which they plan to open a business. Some worked as a programmer, others as an internet marketer or SEO optimizer. Tired of working for their uncle, feeling the strength to start their own business and having accumulated some initial capital, they begin their voyage to the sea called business. But certain difficulties await them, but of a different nature.

Firstly, any Internet entrepreneurs have to do something with self-organization and setting up systematic work. Secondly, it is necessary to learn how to work and communicate with clients, who often do not understand the peculiarities and difficulties of working in such narrow areas as web development or website promotion. Professionals in their field will have to stoop to the client’s level and explain in clear terms what you will charge money for, what the client will receive in return and how it will improve his life.

The main secret to the success of any business, both online and offline, is the motivation of the owner or founder. The best and strongest companies grow when the founder of this business has “nothing to eat” at the beginning of his activity. There is nothing better for a future company.

In addition, due to the fact that the Internet industry is perhaps the most dynamic of all, you are unlikely to be able to relax if you really want to achieve the results and success that your idols achieved. So forget your dreams of serene work on the beaches of Goa, working several hours a day and passive income. Of course, no one forbids you to strive for this, but at the start of an Internet business, you better throw these thoughts aside and roll up your sleeves and get down to business.

We present to you a list of the 10 most popular business ideas that can be implemented on the Internet, based on your own knowledge and skills. No starting capital.

A list of five simple, honest and real ways to make money online. There is nothing to add to it. And there’s nothing to take away from it either. Read, get acquainted, try.


I am glad to welcome you, dear readers. If not all of you, then many have heard about the benefits of creating your own business on the Internet: every now and then you come across admiring reviews from former clerks, small traders, and the unemployed about their dizzying success after creating a particular business online. Should we believe them? Is it worth repeating their actions?

The majority of our fellow citizens, who honestly built their business offline, are depressed and disappointed by the exorbitant amount of money that they had to invest, and the lion's share of which (let's be honest) went to bribes to officials. And the extortions do not stop, so businessmen go to the Internet - such disgrace has not yet been observed here.

But they are seasoned. What should a newcomer do, who still doesn’t really know what kind of business he is, but is ready to give his all, work hard and build it. According to my observations, the biggest problem, a question that is difficult to answer, for most beginners is: Internet business from scratch - where to start?

And they are all looking for it on forums and in tempting advertisements that promise to bring the newly created business to a high level of income within a month. This doesn't happen, don't believe it. If you intend to get an honest and objective answer to a question that concerns you, turn to more experienced comrades who, at the cost of their own ups and downs and many mistakes, have built their own, now thriving, Internet business. Now almost each of us, online business owners, maintains our own blog, where in great detail, using our own example, we teach beginners to move forward confidently and consistently.

Another nuance: many are attracted by the fact that you can start a business on the Internet from scratch without investment. They do not quite correctly understand the essence of the phrase: in any case, there will be investments, either a hundred dollars to create an online store (this is not much) or their own labor to fill the resource and promote it - it will not work out for nothing. And sitting idly by will not work either.

1. Online business for beginners – what is it?

Let's start with the fact that making money on clicks, viewing ads and videos is not a type of business, but a quick side hustle. I would also say – very boring and poorly paid. Therefore, if you came to the Internet to build a real highly profitable business, do not even look towards such offers, you will only waste time.

Business on the Internet for beginners doesn’t even involve rewriting, although many have risen to the occasion by writing articles. In principle, you can try it, if this is your thing, then in some time you will make some money to pay for the creation and promotion of your own resource.

You need to start only with the type of activity that you are fluent in, and in a short time you will be able to gain a rating and increase your earnings several times over. But I still advise, or, if you have the appropriate skills, to start creating and promoting custom websites - these are the most popular services now, and they will remain so for a long time - as long as the Internet exists.

1.1. First example

Let's say you are an excellent programmer and at the same time fluent in the html language. In this case, you don’t need to worry about how to build an online business from scratch. in a few minutes, create a one-page page with a list of your services, reviews and price list, promote it on social networks or set up a direct message - and get customers with crisp banknotes.

However, this will not mean that you have created a business, because business is not work, even working “for yourself” is not a business. But, since in this article we are looking at the possibilities from scratch. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the fact that one of the stages of building a business on the Internet will be: working for yourself. After all, having gained experience, you will know how all this should be arranged and then you will be able to hire several assistants and train them. And now, when you no longer work alone, when you give instructions and monitor the progress of their implementation, your activity can be called a business.

1.2. Second example

Now, as for websites: they can be created by anyone and for any purpose. There are many types and subtypes of sites. But in this example, I want to talk about the most, in my opinion, suitable for the article “business from scratch”. So, this type of site is called: “Content”.

Roughly speaking, it works like this (if from scratch):

  1. We create a website, choose a topic, fill it with articles. In six months or a year, such a site will begin to bring in 15-25 thousand rubles per month (almost like renting out a one-room apartment);
  2. We, as future businessmen, do not spend this money, but invest it in the development of the project. Namely: we hire a copywriter who will write articles for you, and an assistant who will select pictures and publish them. In this way, we completely or partially relieve ourselves of responsibilities, and our site continues to develop itself;
  3. When your income increases, and this is inevitable, you can create several more similar ones;

And let it be - it's actually not as simple as it seems. But believe me, I have proven from personal experience that by creating a website from scratch, you can earn an income of more than 100,000 rubles per month.

And before moving on to the next section, I want to note one more thing: the internal attitude is important. If you don’t know how to create a business on the Internet from scratch, still behave like a businessman, and not like an employee who is constantly afraid of some kind of click or kick. Believe me, my experience: both sometimes turn out to be the best motivation for active action.

2. How to create an online business from scratch - basic rules

If you have zero money and zero ideas, don’t be upset. Even in this sad situation, you have a chance to create your own business on the Internet. Considering the fact that a successful idea can “take off” at any moment or it can be found from competitors and slightly modified and improved, and money can either be borrowed, or earned extra, or completely done without it - then you, dear future colleague, have excellent prospects.

Now I will teach you what rules must be followed so that they (prospects) do not fall apart:

  1. Find “your” niche - a field of activity in which you have experience or at least knowledge, and which interests you;
  2. If there is no money at all (that is, absolutely), and you need to purchase links and post articles, too, you will have to write on your own for some time and manually post links on third-party sites by agreement. Don’t get too bogged down in this – three months, six months maximum. Remember that you came here to manage the created project, and not to become a black man of the pen (keyboard);
  3. Create a promising business, not a website that will last 1-2 years. Work for your financial future;
  4. Place maximum emphasis on passive income: You work only for a certain period - until the site becomes popular and visited, then it itself works for you.
  5. Monitor the quality, presentation format and relevance of the written articles. Don’t be afraid to edit them long after publication – information tends to lose relevance and therefore requires updating, full or partial. The more useful and interesting information your resource brings to the Internet, the higher the monetary return will be. (By the way, search engines will only be happy with the update);
  6. Find yourself motivation and a role model. In order for an Internet project to start very quickly and successfully, huge financial investments are required - about 3-5 thousand dollars. But we are talking about how to start a business on the Internet from scratch and without money, so this option is clearly not suitable. It will take at least a year to promote a young resource. You need to not only mentally prepare yourself for the fact that during this time you should not expect income from the site, but also that you should in no way be discouraged, disappointed, or tired of waiting. Motivate yourself with something - future income, for example. Find a success story or several stories of webmasters and be guided by them.

3. Business on the Internet - I see the goal, I don’t see the obstacles

I argued and continue to argue that 90% of success in any business - big business online or offline, finding a job, finding an idea - depends on the psychological attitude, inner confidence and the ability to set the right goal.

I divide people who do not have a specific goal into two categories:

  1. Confused people are those who temporarily do not know what to do and how to realize themselves, but are trying to find their niche and set their goal, however, they get lost and cannot decide on anything for a very long time;
  2. The lost are those who are not going to look for anything, they live one day at a time. Such people wander aimlessly on the Internet, read everything, they like all the ideas, but they do not choose any for themselves. They do not fill their empty spiritual space with anything, do not strive for anything, and over time begin to degrade.

God forbid anyone ends up in the second category - it’s almost impossible to get out of such a state. But let’s not talk about sad things. I am sure that among my readers there are no lost ones. Although I will repeat once again (just in case): if a person does not have a goal in life, very soon he will begin to have problems.

And if you are now busy deciding how to organize an online business, start by setting your goals correctly.

  1. Honestly admit to yourself what you want: not what is fashionable, not what everyone is doing, but what you need;
  2. Be prepared to sacrifice something to achieve your goal: in the case of creating an Internet business - free time, friendly gatherings over beer and even a few football matches (for women - coffee with girlfriends, TV series, empty conversations on the phone). All this time needs to be devoted to something else - self-education or attending webinars;
  3. When building your Internet business, look at your goal with your own eyes, listen to the voice of your own intuition, and not outside advice. Even those closest to you, people who love you and wish you well, are unlikely to be well versed in the nuances of online business. For most of them, this is in the category of: “well, that’s it” and “whatever the child enjoys.” Don't let them negatively influence you, dissuade you or dissuade you.
  4. Having chosen a goal, you must clearly imagine the results of achieving it. Therefore, choose only goals that are important and meaningful to you.

4. How to start an online business from scratch: studying the target audience

Another important point: when promoting a resource (business), be sure to analyze and study your target audience: their interests, their purchasing power (if you trade via the Internet), their wishes for the product or information provided. Be interested in the problems of the target audience, as well as the methods that they are used to using to solve them.

Content

Today, the unstable financial situation in the country is leading to job cuts. Some people find jobs in new companies after being fired, while others are looking for ways to organize their own profitable business. After reading the article, you will find out which business is profitable to open in Russia with small investments.

What business is in demand now?

Supply is formed by demand. This is one of the main economic laws, therefore, in order to open the most popular business, you need to determine what products and services the population of your city needs. It is believed that in any region, the greatest demand is for organizations engaged in repairs, replacement of plumbing fixtures, and sales of household chemicals and products. An analysis of the market for services and goods will help you find out more precisely which business is relevant now.

Demand for services

According to statistics, employment agencies are very popular: the crisis and constant layoffs increase the need for such organizations. Demand for the services of plumbers, hairdressers, electricians and funeral directors remains unchanged. In Moscow and other large cities, companies providing commercial transportation come first in terms of the number of requests. Organizations from the beauty and health sector are only 1% behind in the top. By finding out which services are in greatest demand among the population, you can organize a profitable business.

What is profitable to sell now?

Aspiring entrepreneurs like to wonder what people are in demand right now. Current products remain the same. Example of high-margin products: flowers, drinks, jewelry, handmade products. Such goods are distinguished by stable demand, low production and storage costs. Popular alcoholic drinks are considered popular products.

What kind of business is in demand now in a small town?

Beginning entrepreneurs bypass small settlements. In their opinion, business there brings in very little income. This is partly true, because salaries there are lower than in big cities. The costs of renting and purchasing premises will also be less than in big cities, so you can organize your own business with minimal financial costs.

The most popular business in a small town is a general hairdressing salon. In addition to hairdressers, there should be manicure-pedicurists, cosmetologists and massage therapists. Shoe and furniture repair shops are popular regardless of the financial situation of the country, because... people tend to restore old things because they are afraid of spending a lot of money.

In-demand business

Commercial activities are always aimed at satisfying people's needs or stimulating demand. Any promising business is built on this. You can create demand for products artificially by advertising products on the street and on television. The relevance of the entrepreneurial field and whether business decisions are effective still play a significant role.

Profitable business

Commercial activities should generate maximum income with minimal cash investments and exploitation of various resources. These features characterize a highly profitable business. During a crisis, you should not open enterprises engaged in the production of any products. Their profitability will be low, the risks will be high, and you will see real profits only after a few years. The service sector is considered successful.

Super profitable business

All aspiring entrepreneurs dream of receiving fabulous money, but few manage to realize this in practice. Some allow you to build a super-profitable business from scratch in just a couple of months. Another way not to save and get a lot of money is to create a completely new and in-demand business for the region. Options for directions: from restoration or car rental to your own consignment store.

The most profitable business

By opening your own bakery in a large city, you can quickly return all the invested funds - in less than 2 months. A similar situation is observed with healthy food restaurants. People are no longer attracted to fast foods. The fastest-paying business is able to return all invested funds within a month. Before starting your own business, study, sorting them by profitability indicators for your region - this way you can weed out proposals that will lead to bankruptcy of the company in the future.

Profitable business on the Internet

A distinctive feature of activities on the World Wide Web is the lack of connection to your place of residence. You can look for clients both in your city and outside it, so organizing a profitable business on the Internet is easier than doing it in the real market. A budding entrepreneur does not even need start-up capital. There are several areas of such business:

  • provision of online services (programming, design development, accounting, etc.);
  • launching an online store;
  • participation in affiliate programs;
  • creation and promotion of your information product.

You can create a current business providing services on the Internet if you are a specialist in any field. You need to create a portfolio or launch a business card website where your skills will be described in detail. You can launch an online store without money, acting as an intermediary between foreign sellers and buyers from Russia. Products will be sold with a slight markup.

Online store

Let's take a closer look at opening an online store.

Pros:

  • minimum investment (often 10-15 tr. is enough)
  • you can work in the Russian Federation from any city
  • everything is growing rapidly: in 2018, the turnover of online commerce exceeded 1 trillion rubles, the forecast for 2023/24 is 3-4 trillion.

There are 2 main problems - finding a profitable product and standing out from competitors.

Advice - communicate more with the owners of existing online stores. Then the ideas will come on their own.

The best place for communication is clubs of Internet site owners. The largest of them, Imsider, unites tens of thousands of entrepreneurs. The club was founded by the owners of large websites; large (including free) online and live events are held every month.

  • it is led by the founder of the club, Nikolai Fedotkin, owner of the Video-shoper store (the site is visited by 10-15 thousand people per day)
  • issues of choosing a niche (they provide more than 1000 proven products), competition, website creation, advertising, suppliers, individual entrepreneurs, delivery, etc. are resolved.

The webinar is free. You won't find anything better in Russia now.

Profitable business with minimal investment

Many people want to make a profit without spending their own money, but not everyone succeeds. In practice, you can organize if you offer products of your own production, engage in intellectual work, or act as an intermediary, organizing purchase and sale transactions. Some open collection points for glass containers or scrap metal in the garage.


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 if you are puzzled, you can create your own website yourself 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 decided to choose. The abundance of all kinds of sites creates wild competition, and in order to make a full-time income, you need, in addition to money, to put your soul into the site;
  2. Utility. Your site should be useful first and foremost. If it does not bring practical benefit 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. Although online business seems simple, you can’t count on anything without perseverance and daily work.

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

  1. Use an affiliate program (For example, a teaser);
  2. Make money from 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 (To do this, the site needs to have good traffic).

Let's take a brief look at each of these options for making 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 cost of the goods will be credited to your account.

Another option for doing business online is selling links from your website. If you have good performance, then links can be quite expensive. The point of such entrepreneurship is that the link promotion strategy is still used by many SEOs.

The earning 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 receive your percentage. Profit! If you take into account the cost of construction, the percentage can be very impressive.

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

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

How to make money online from texts: creating a copywriting agency

We get a huge part of information from the Internet. We read a bunch of articles, news and announcements. But someone writes these articles and makes good money from them.

What is needed for this?

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

Does everything seem simple? But it was not there. Firstly, finding an intelligent author is not so easy. The director of a copywriting agency lives off the difference between the payment to the copywriter and the money received from the 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 are written accordingly. This means that you will have to spend your time checking and correcting the authors’ work.

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

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, one cannot do without specific knowledge.

Yes, you won’t move the site to the top yourself, but you will need to communicate with customers, and it’s a lost cause if you lose face.

And you won’t be able to find a smart SEO specialist, since you won’t be able to check the quality of his work if you don’t understand the topic yourself. As a result, you can get money, get a bunch of negative reviews and, which is quite realistic, a subpoena.

How much can you earn with an online SEO agency? Let's do an approximate calculation. Promoting one website costs owners 20-40 thousand rubles per month. This means you can earn from 10,000 to 100,000 rubles from the site.

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

How to make money online on your YouTube channel

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

There is only one problem– 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 truly outstanding from the mass of similar channels. To do this, read user reviews.

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

For example, one of the profitable areas is considered to be working with the Amazon store. You make video reviews of their products and offer to follow the link and buy something. A 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 account with Google. And then everything is simple. The YouTube service itself offers those who want to run their business online convenient editors with which they can add music, special effects, process video from noise and much more.

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

With 3000 users you can earn about $6. A little? Yes, but there are thousands of channels on YouTube with more than a million traffic. Can you imagine how much they earn? What if there are several such channels?

A personal YouTube channel is a good online business option for housewives. For example, you can review the preparation of delicious dishes.

The idea of ​​making money is your own exchange office

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

  1. Distributing currency cards. But this will not bring much profit, and besides, you will completely kill your legs, in the sense that you will have to run a lot;
  2. By creating your own exchange office.

An electronic currency exchange office differs from a regular exchange office that operates from banks. Essentially, you help people withdraw web money (and others) or credit it to their account, taking a percentage from clients. What is needed for this business?

In fact, there is nothing complicated. You need to register a personal passport, create your own exchanger 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 online business you need initial capital - and it should be at least several thousand WMZ (WMZ is a Web Money dollar account). If you don’t have money, you can start working by taking out a microloan 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 this online business – 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, write him a check.

We open an information business: online seminars, trainings, coaching

One of the most popular online businesses nowadays is the information business. Since information is at a premium 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 how to do something, have useful and rare knowledge, you can start a very profitable Internet business from scratch.

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

Men conduct online seminars on programming, website promotion, and earning money online. You can also write and sell books, publish magazines online with a paid subscription. Even yoga can be taught at a distance - all this falls under the category of information business.

The only problem– this kind of work is not suitable for everyone, since only a narrow specialist in some industry can do it. To teach someone, you have to be an ace yourself. And it’s better to have proof that you can really be useful - for example, a diploma or at least a certificate of completion of courses.

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

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

We create an online store on VKontakte

Another interesting business on the Internet from scratch is on VKontakte. This is an excellent platform for running your business. And its biggest advantage is the availability of functionality for online sales.

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

But to engage in this business, you must have something to sell. Typically, for these purposes, you use either an online store where 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 reach an agreement with manufacturers of goods in your city, offering them a platform for sale.

Income here starts with 50 dollars and ends up in several hundred and sometimes even thousands. For example, the revenue of a VK store offering interesting things and gifts on the eve of the New Year amounts to up to $3,000.
