Building Your Own web site on Online Community
Business Ideas (1-10)
A Internet Community
Could Be Built Around ANY Product or Service You Could Imagine!
Below
we are going to give you 10 examples of communities you could build,
but they are only examples. You could build an internet community
around ANYTHING! What interests you? What do you like to research
and learn about? What do you like to do for hobbies? Everyone of
your answers to those questions will be another THEME you could
follow on your site.
Ten
Communities You Could Build Are:
1. Internet Marketing
This market is still
HOT...and will continue to be for years to come as more and more
businesses are moving to the web every day. The biggest problem with
building a community in this area will be in creating a Unique
Selling Position to it. There are thousands of sites out there
selling internet marketing products, services, or information. So if
you go in this area, you have to find a very targeted niche market
and/or provide a lot of free information or services to break away
from the mold of the rest of the sites.
2. Copywriting
Every business needs to
learn more about copywriting...and we never stop learning. For this
area, you would need to come up with all kinds of free reports plus
possibly find programs that would compliment ad writing or make
doing it easier. Again, just like #1 above, you would find yourself
in a very competitive market with thousands of competitors. This is
not saying that you can't develop a uniqueness to your business. It
is just saying you will have to work harder at it. For example, I
know of one copywriter online who separated himself from the rest of
the pack by calling himself the "World's First Cybercopywriter"
showing that he writes specifically for the internet.
3. Fitness
To see just how hot this
market is, just turn on your TV set and watch the infomercials for a
few minutes. More infomercials are becoming successful through
nutritional products or exercise equipment than anything else. You
could build an entire community around a specific diet program,
exercise program, or nutritional program. Message boards, ezines,
chats, and more would all be exciting to your prospects in any of
these areas. Plus, there is NO lack of companies which you can find
online which would allow you to be a dealer for their products for
you to sell on your site.
4. Buying and Selling At
Online Auctions
This is another business
opportunity which really gets people excited. You could create a
community that focuses on a specific type of buying (online
auctions, local auctions, garage sales, government auctions, etc.)
or on a specific type of products (collectibles, beanie babies,
tools, furniture, property, etc.). Then, you could have online
forums, a training course, classifieds (to sell these products)
which you give some ads away for free (the best ads at top or
through searches would be paid ads). You could easily target a
specific type of buying or selling and end up becoming the Main Web
Site in a specific niche market.
5. Press Releases
You could build a
community around press releases for other businesses online. Include
informational reports for free which help people design their own
press releases. Have a message board and ezine with tips. Then, sell
a press release course, service, or lists of publishers to contact.
6. Beauty Products
Go to your local
magazine rack and look at the number of magazines which fall under
this category. There are dozens of them (or hundreds depending on
the store). You could find a specific niche market and focus your
site on that. You would have a primary product and then could find
hundreds of supporting products to go with it!
7. Kitchen Aids
How about new kitchen
appliances or cookbooks. The biggest challenge in this area will be
making sure you are selling products which CANNOT be found at the
local store. New products or cookbooks can be extremely HOT, but
there are a lot of similar products being sold at stores for less
than what it would cost to sell them through mail order. For ideas
in this area, watch some of the infomercials that sell products of
this nature. You could start a "Recipe of the Day"
newsletter or a message board to trade recipes...both items which
will quickly gain popularity in this market.
8. Automobiles
I hate lumping all of
the ideas which you could come up with on automobiles in just one
category here, but I don't want this course to be called 1001
internet businesses. You could do collector cars (having cars sold
on your site for a commission or with paid ads), models, books on
automobiles, etc. Gas treatment products and various other things
would make very good supporting products.
9. Golf
Any other sport could
also become a good theme, but let's focus on one idea at a time.
With so many golf enthusiasts out there, all just hoping to improve
their game by any means necessary, this is a ripe market. So, if you
are a golf lover yourself, consider setting up a site on how to
lower your score. It could sell clubs, books, videos...discussions
could be held with a golf pro invited to help out. Even Real Video
could be placed online showing the right golf swings.
10. Self-Defense
How about a self-defense
site? It could be self-defense for kids, women, professional women,
men, professional men, etc. You get the idea. Pick out a targeted
niche market in this area and sell books, videos, and equipment all
meant to help people to defend themselves better. With increasing
violence worldwide, this is a market that will never disappear.
Ezine ideas could be a Self-Defense tip of the week (or day) Showing
how to avoid deadly confrontations...a message board could be
started on the same subject.
Web Site Marketing is
Community Building
I could list just about
any and every possible business in this section, because internet
marketing is simply community building. Build a community around a
specific theme or niche market. Use some of the above ideas in your
business to help build relationships with your prospects and watch
your sales soar!
