The Internet offers many business opportunities. You can become a part of someone else’s enterprise or create a business of your own. There are many advantages to starting an Internet business. Here are the top Internet business ideas to help you find that appropriate niche you are looking for.
Every day people search the Internet for all sorts of opportunities. With this economy, the number one search is for ways to make money with low startup costs. Many of the basic equipment needed to begin Internet businesses are in your home right now. If you have a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, a telephone, a desk, and a printer, you can get going right away.
1. Blogging. This is the way to create an online presence without the technical issues of owning your own website (that comes later). Most blogs are offered with free hosting and come with already installed features so set up is easy. Blog about anything that you find interesting and will be interesting to other readers. A blog with a niche will perform better a personal one. Blogs can also make money with programs like Google Adwords and AdSense. Pay per Click advertising also works for generating revenue.
2. Internet research. Anyone who can navigate the Internet and find out almost anything, can market themselves as an Internet researcher. Large and small companies will pay you to find out information for them, create reports from the research.
3. Selling products. If you have a hobby like making and selling crafts you can expand your business online with a website. Set up a website that caters to your product offerings. Market these products online to drive traffic to your website.
4. Selling on eBay. With this idea, you set up shop on the Internet. You can sell products you created or items you own that you want to sell. Many now make a living selling on eBay. As your business grows, you can expand to involve other product markets.
5. Freelancing. Many online and offline businesses are looking for help. Freelancers lower the overhead of the company thus becoming more profitable for many jobs than hiring someone to work in the office. Depending on your talent, hire yourself out at a freelance writer, graphic artist, website designer or programmer.
6. Virtual assistant. Virtual assistants are the going trend for many businesses. In the beginning, virtual assistants performed the administrative duties of a company from their home. Now, VA’s can be found in all career specialties like medical, real estate, marketing and publishing. They perform tasks above administrative such as website administrator, report creation and Internet research.
7. Membership sites. You see more of these around these days. With a membership site, you choose a niche, such as online marketing. Customers pay to join at a certain level (gold, silver, bronze) and are rewarded with certain perks for their membership that include newsletters, videos or articles on marketing and services to help expand their own business. You create the website and supply the materials yourself or through outsourcing each month to your members.
Do you have an idea of what your Internet business idea might be? This list should get you started.

Get Articles for your Website or Blog without writing a Word. If you’ve got a website or blog, you know that the one thing you can’t get enough of is content. Articles to publish on your website or blog, tips to publish in your ezine, and content to create reports for your readers. Sound familiar? Now, to get content, you have a few options.
1. Use free reprint articles. These are great. But, with each article you publish, you’re linking to and promoting others as the expert.
2. Hire ghostwriters. Again, a great option, unless you’re on a tight budget. Ghostwritten articles can cost anywhere between $7-25 per article, depending on quality and length. Plus, it can be extremely difficult to find the “perfect” writer. (But, once you do, stick with her and pay her well!)
3. Write it Yourself. A great option and many of us do. However, if you’re creating many niche websites (or if you’re overwhelmed with other work), sometimes the writing load can get a bit heavy.
4. Private Label Rights (PLR). Here’s the route many web publishers prefer. You buy articles that are very affordable and very flexible. No linking to others. No paying for unique articles. You can change them as much as you’d like or just stick them onto your website as they are. If you’d like to learn more about PLR, check out EasyPLR for more free information.
