What industry is working best now for revenue? Is the internet just too saturated?

Hey,

I always thought gambling and adult made the most money online, I did gambling for years, but never did adult.

I think both are going downhill, too much competition plus laws for gambling.

What do you think is the best industry to get into now to generate revenue?

As we have seen just from google alone, ad prices have really gone down..
I have been working online well over a decade and the money has really been at the lowest point for me now.

Is any industry doing well or is the internet in general just too saturated?

 

Agree 100%.

I think in the past, you could have started an online business / site and made money from advertising, but now, it is a lot more difficult with so much competition.

For online advertising, I think you have to either have a huge site, or as a provider, a big customer base to serve ads, I think the money for ads is also going down resulting in lower profits for site owners.

What industry do you think is upcoming or on a steady rate now Shawn?

 

Hi, would be really appreciate if you can please PM me your secret way to win the competition and most importantly to attract the buyers. I know you would say A - Z but I need the summary in "few words" of those A - Z secrets. Thanks... I would really appreciate or even share my profit if this comes after your secret summary...

 

It would be better to invest in online business after reviewing the fill details.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies

Unfortunately I'm lacking on ideas for actual products.
I have no problem developing / growing websites but I have only developed one product site (That was around 4/5 years ago) that did very well.

I have been searching around on what industries are doing best in regards to affiliate or advertising income now.

My main income was gambling a few years ago (90%+) but after the US ban it dropped so much, time to get into something new

 

You can make a keyword research, buy a relevant domain and develop it if you have no problem in developing /growing websites.
I don't get what you are looking for. You need to start from a point that looks good. But perhaps you are looking for the best point and this is a mistake in business. Because there is no best point to start a business from and you are losing time while searching for a thing which doesn't exist. I have done this mistake many times, the perfectionism, asking for the best or most.
Just lower your expectations. Because today, all the businesses are worse than yesterday and tomorrow will be worse than today. We can not control the economy as an individual. We can only the improve products we offer to the public.
I have no experience in gambling sites. But I would follow the same path which had been successful before. Your profession is entertainment niche and you can focus on entertainment (i.e., music, games, videos, etc. even travel and sports) Because you had been successful in entertainment and it should be easy for you to repeat the same success. I hope this point of view can help.

 

Thanks for your reply makeit easy

What I am looking for is just some insight on what industries are working best in terms of advertising and affiliate revenue right now, also for upcoming industries.

My experience has been in directories (When they made good money), gambling (when it made good money) and webmaster / hosting sites (Which I don't think makes enough money anymore).

Unfortunately I couldn't work for quite a while so I don't know what is working and what is upcoming and I can't find any details on the markets, even is vague but still ranking.

 

You are welcome I have managed a few directory sites and I think the same with you on directory sites. It's almost impossible to run a profitable directory since a few years.

As far as I have noticed, more personal type niches perform better. It can be anything that an individual (adult) needs it very rarely in his/her whole life cycle and look for its special version that must be looking like tailored special for his/her need. I know this definition is so wide and contains many niches. To give you an idea about what I mean, wedding, university selections, retirement, debt problems, career plans/employement, improvement/buying of home or car can be some good examples for this. You know those are the most competetive niches to get traffic.
You must be able to provide working, cost effective, creative, original solutions to those needs and this is not easy. But this is the key to become succesful. SEO efforts or paid traffic can not bring you profit in those real life problems.

 

Webcam is good place to start

 

Hi John D,

I don't think that the internet business is being saturated. Competition will always be there but with hard work anybody can make it. I've been searching on the net for businesses too and found out a bout affiliate programs that offer high income comissions.

 

There is many industry you can choose them depend on your choice Get suggestion from research analyst or take a research report of business or market

 

What industry did you find with good affiliate programs?

Thanks for replies

 

It is better if you create your own website and offer services etc. instead of going for affiliate system.

 

I believe in some areas which concern everybody are good, like:
money (getting more of it)
health (improving it)
relationship (fixing the problems)

And of course inside those 3 broad topics, anything goes, you could restrict yourself to those and have a lifetime of work and sub-topics to cover.

The advantage is that you're pretty sure any of those will be of some interest to most people.

For instance, money can be turned into traffic for the webmaster/blogger audience, because more traffic = more money. Also for vendors money could be turned into improving their conversion from visitors to customers and from customers to repeat-customers.

Many things to cover indeed.

 

The Internet is not saturated...And never could be it's a case of separating yourself from the rest of the pack, sure niches like gambling and adult may have run their course but that's not what Internet Marketing is all about, you need to start treating it like a real business, the mistake I made for years was not building a list even though I had heard you must do this a million times, when you do this you can master any type of marketing including affilliate, CPA, and anything else offline and on , think outside of the box and things will start to happen

 

Great post James

Relationship isn't something I thought about before, it seems like it could be good, but I don't know what type of ROI that would get because I don't really know what could be of value in regards to ads (Aside from Viagra )

That is my problem, I am stuck inside the box from years ago when I was doing great with gambling, so I am hoping to expand now and get into more markets that have value

 

The internet is very saturated, but I still think it is possible.
