Most Profitable Type Of Website

On the thread topic, the most profitable types of sites are the ones where you're able to sell your own product or service. The ROI tends to be a little higher in my experience.

My next choice would be drop shipping. There are plenty of niches with huge ROIs.

Also, if traffic isn't a problem, I think it's easy to attract customers who are looking for exactly what your offering with these two types of sites.

only thing about dropshipping i'm "afraid" is finding the providers or really just knowing how it really works.

I would agree selling your own product or service is best.
I have been involved in manufacturing Domestic and in China as well and Selling our own Services and we have found selling our product/services to be much more profitable then Reselling Ingram Micro, Affiliate's and other resealable products.
I was able to hit 7 digit sales my first year reselling Ingram micro products but with a 5% margin its allot of work for a small piece of the pie.

The kind that makes the most profits?

The only problem with that kind of thinking is that it suggests an unwillingness to learn what is needed to be successful in any endeavor, be it a business or anything else.

Selling your own product has always been my preference - you maintain control, you leverage your time, you can attract affiliates to drive traffic and sales, etc...

My experience has been that selling my products, through my own sales funnel, is hands down the most profitable. I also build out Adsense and affiliate sites, but they don't come close to producing the profits that my own products do.

I had a tough time with drop shipping. I think you are much better off buying and taking possession of the products you are selling. It's easier to control shipping that way.

Blogs - easily. Although again, as I say many times, it's really dependent on your niche. But blogs loaded with quality content that is relevant and valuable to your niche will attract customers to buy.

Content is everything and is what causes people to make a decision in the first place. Blogs are a perfect place to put your content - whether it be articles or videos or just simple posts, if it is valuable to your niche then you can direct them to take action on whatever it is you're offering.

The extension of this kind of question is that there are also "difficult" ways of doing IM. Why do you think I (or anyone else) would do it the difficult or least profitable way?

In other words - ask a silly question and you get ......?????

i love Adsense, but it's bad when your account is banned. So, start up is the best way.

In my opinion the best site to promote would be squeeze page with embedded video in it, explaining free product that you offer. You need to put your subscriber form in it so you can get email addresses. Also, you can put some up sell offers.
But basically firstly promote something for free and try to sell some additional products.

Best wishes!

Thanks

I think a website selling your own product is the most profitable especially if its an affiliate product.
If you are talking about websites to flip then adsense sites are very profitable or any site that is bringing in income on autopilot without having to do anything are very very popular.

For Internet Marketers like us, I think the most profitable site is affiliate sites. My friend who is running a clickbank affiliate site with more than 1000 weight loss products is averaging more than $,2500 a day in clickbank commission.

But if you are asking the real profitable sites, then there is tripadvisor, hotel.com, alibaba, etc.. (big sites owned by big corporations)

Is your friend the vendor or an affiliate to each one of those 1000 products?

Here is an example of a profitable site: Create A FREE Website - Picture/Video/MP3,Blog,Forms,SEO Tool + more!. It uses the SoNET Web Engine v3.0, which allows it to actually sell DIY websites with hosting to people in over 100 countries. That particular install averages about 18 new sites per day and about 5 or 6 of those will convert at between $1.99 or $2.99 per month and sometimes $19.99, so every month that one website generates new income and increases the amount of residual income it generates as well. This example is just one type of site using one type of business model that works. There are a few more that are out there being proven with the software platform.

I personally run several websites like this. I also have entrepreneurs on my team who in turn run installs and give me a percentage since I funded them, set them up, got them going and mentored them, here is another example: eWebsiteMaker.

So in my opinion, these are the types of sites that the average person on WF could realistically make profitable since they have no capability to make search engines or twitter or facebook or get any money by cheer leading for joomla or wordpress etc. (I'm not talking to the very small percentage of WF members who make websites for a living using one method or another)

Of course you still have to work hard to promote and make your business grow in any case but with 7 Billion people on the planet and 3 Billion of them NEEDING a website, this business model (selling DIY websites just like the REAL big players like Microsoft do) is smart, doesn't require doing any technical work and still makes money no matter how bad various economies get.

My 2 cents,

Most profitable is e commerce. They should all get the same traffic if they are marketed the same. I'm not sure how you "convert" something on facebook or twitter; though, they are tools that you use to drive traffic to your website.

Affiliate sites are easier but, as with everything, more money comes with harder work. I'll only do e commerce, myself.

From personal experience:

Top ranking website for buyer keywords selling $1,000 in-demand equipment. Problem with this is maintaining top rankings.
Promoting high commission recurring products.

In General:

Branded eCommerce website
any huge traffic website with in-house PPC platform such as Plenty of Fish.
Industry leading recurring subscription web-based software

Whatever you choose make sure your site has a really strong social presence. It's free traffic and an easy way to engage that traffic.
Example? I have a Black Friday site. Over the last ten days or so it's had more than 120,000 visitors. According to my stats more than half of them came from its associated FaceBook page.

No Google, no SEO and no advertising needed. Simple as.
