"How is a website profitable? How many good profit methods are there? How can I find profit points if I want to operate a website? What kind of website can I do ?" Five years ago, I entered the Internet with such problems from traditional commerce.
I believe that this problem is also a concern of many website operators or friends interested in website operations. I will give a brief introduction to some of the profit methods I have learned, I hope you can get some inspiration and help.
Website profit Method 1: personal transaction platform service (C2C) model of the website
In this way, the website is represented by eBay, and its transaction is mainly in the form of a personal shot, in the Nasdaq listed website company, (as far as I know) it is the most valuable one (about $51 billion), slightly higher than Google (about 50 billion) and Yahoo (about 48 billion), which is sufficient to prove the impact of such online personal transactions in the United States and other developed countries.
On the other hand, I heard that a friend went to the United States to study abroad. After that, I bought many supplies and books I needed from my website. When I left the United States, I bought the supplies and books through my website, which proves that this business model has been accepted by the public.
In China, there are probably three large C2C websites, eBay (which has been acquired by eBay now), Taobao (owned by Alibaba), and IMG (Yahoo cooperates with Sina ). This type of website operates with a large audience, difficulty in building credibility, and high cost for promotion and Operation. We recommend that you use this type of website with caution, unless you have sufficient advantages and sufficient funds in a specialized area.
Website profit Method 2: Online Advertising
Online advertising is a common way to make a profit for a website. It has many forms, from Banner (Banner), LOGO (Icon) ads, to Flash multimedia animation, online film and television, etc, from the perspective of billing methods, it is now quite popular to charge by the number of clicks. Google, Baidu, and other search engine websites primarily adopt such advertising methods, google's $3.1 billion in revenue last year ($1.46 billion in the previous year) basically came from such advertising methods.
Advertising revenue can also be achieved on your website. As long as you have a large number of browsing groups (preferably a certain type of professional browsing group), you will be able to pay for website advertising. Of course, you can also make some profits for advertising partners of large websites.
In addition, the concept of "narrow advertisement" is more popular nowadays. It targets more professional browsing groups, rather than general traffic, so that the effective proportion of users will be greatly increased.
Website profit method 3: mobile operation services such as text message ringtones
In recent years, the rise of internet text message ringtones not only bring more thoughtful services to mobile users and more exciting ringtones, it also provides a very good profit-making model for major websites. Once upon a time, the business revenue of SMS ringtones was about of the total revenue of the three major domestic portals, showing its importance. In a few years, the number of domestic SMS ringtone service providers (telecom value-added service SP) reached about 5000, and some of them listed on the Nasdaq last year on the professional website of SMS ringtones "handheld PHS .......
