    What is your question?

    What business are you in?

    What is your product/service?

    Do you have your own product or are you selling other peoples?

      These are not business models, these are online marketing methods.

      Building a website tyipcally involves having...

      1. A page optimized around selling something
      2. A page that is optmized around building a list (for the 98% or so of people that do not buy from your webpage on the first visit)
      3. Content pages that act as spider webs pulling in traffic from the search engines (articles, blogs, newsletters, social bookmarking, videos, press releases, etc...) which should all lead back to either your selling page or your list building page

      The autoresponder fits into the process in #2 - where you continue to "drip" on your list owners until they buy your own or a referred product.

      These are marketing systems (similar to offline sales processes)

      Business models, on the other hand, are ways that you make money...ex:

      1. Sell your own products or services
      2. Sell other people's products or services (affiliate marketing)
      3. License products or services
      4. Advertising revenue (get paid for eyeballs) - this could be pay-per-click (Adsense), CPA or space advertising

      While you should have a primary business model, ok to mix other elements in as you go.

      Those are not business models and we can't answer your question without knowing what your business is even if those were valid answers.

      It sounds like you've been misled or given bad advice about what having an online business is all about.

    Why not do all 3? With almost any niche site you need an email list, and you need original content (blog) so this is kind of a no-brainer.

    I think you should consider which you enjoy the most.
    You might want to try a few different things to find out which you enjoy.
    Making money online can be boring as hell if you chose something you don't like.

    I've found that learning something new can be exciting, and the first time I implement I get a huge rush, but after that I could care less.

    The good news is that when you try stuff over and over again you end up with all these mini streams of income as a reward.

    Good luck with whatever you decide.
