Who Here Owns an Online Business?

I was just curious how many other General Forum members own an online business. I have probably 30 websites but 3 are actually designed to bring in any money. One is a health products website that brings in about $10,000 in sales every month and growing. The other promotes my services as a web designer and gets me a fair amount each month but its sporadic and the third I just started up and it gets its revenue from adsense and it has yet to make more than about a hundred bucks.

How many others out there make some sort of living on the internet (please note I said MAKE a living on the internet - not you LIVE on the internet ) If you do what is it you do?

What sort of promotions did you have in mind FBrown? I can always use more promoters. And of course Hybrix has this site which does pretty well it would seem

My only source of income is the internet. I have a health products site that brings in around $40K month. Although I only get to keep a very small amount of that. I would like to discuss this in private and would like to take a look at your sites to trade ideas.

still the plops champ.

I got one:

NURV :: Never Underestimate Radical Vision

I do all sorts of things from marketing to web development and programing but prefer graphic design.

I did think of asking you to join my little scheme, but somehow I knew, 007's loyalty was always to the mission, never to his friends. ~006

GF is now officially on Facebook: Become a fan today!

You can't make accusations like that without evidence. I ashume that you have some? ~PD President

It would be cool to own an successful online business. Thought about it a lot, never knew what I would be selling/promoting though. :P.

I've got friends that have been very successful with this program: Drop Shipping, Light Bulk, Liquidation and Import Wholesalers from Worldwide Brands!

You will still need some basic ecommerce knowledge, but from everything I've heard WorldWideBrands is about the only legit website on the internet when it comes to finding product.
