I always tell people to surf the internet and you’ll soon find an eclectic and diverse range of successful online business, from multi-million dollar enterprises and run by boards of directors to solo-owned ventures generating a modest but regular income and run by enterprising teenagers. One interesting point you may glean from surfing the net is that these online businesses are incredibly varied. Some are based on sales of products and others provide a service. Some are extensions of offline businesses. There are even some that don’t have any blatantly obvious way of making any money, yet have an enormous subscriber list or astronomical site traffic, which actually equates to serious income generation potential.
