Internet Business Models

Micro:

Although it has not come to have the success that many had hoped the fact is that options for access to micro-services or content can work quite well for specific cases. We are not talking about a premium service but rather the use of payments for different operations. Some examples may be a mobile content downloads or software downloads from secure servers to prevent virus issues. A very interesting example at Softonic we see that at the time of discharge gives us the chance to do it safely if we make a micropayment SMS. The combination of the use of mobile SMS and the web in this sense becomes very business model that we should take more account of income to supplement our projects.

Auctions:

Always said that eBay was a need related to a hobby of their creator, and hence has become one of the largest Internet companies, including listed companies. But Ebay is not the only company that lives on the internet auctions, almost every country with a good level of internet penetration of this type have appeared in some auction sites have been purchased by the leader. More recently we have begun to emerge as the reverse auction sites, some of them are becoming quite well known and has brought a new business model the industry that seemed dominated by the leadership of Ebay.

Purchase domains for sale:

I am in favor of speculation in domain names and premium seems logical to me to be a scarce commodity (coches.com, viajes.com, moda.com, noticias.com …) I understand that there are people who are engaged in the business of buying and sell these domains. But I do not like where this domain is moved to “no premium” because persons who registered thousands of domain names which are preventing assemble projects have internet facility available for domains that fit our interests. However, what needs to recognize is that in the business of speculation in domain names and big money moves is a phenomenon that is part of this whole area so it must be borne in mind.

Contents of payment:

Here is the outcast of the big Internet businesses, at least in a general content is concerned. Content on the Internet began to be free, users got used to us and now there is no way to charge for content created exclusively for internet. Clearly there are exceptions (pornography, financial analysis and little else) but now no one is to create a blog for example and charge for that users can read it. In Spain we had a case that made us realize that the contents of closed and had no future payment, the daily El Pais closed its content and wanted to charge users for reading in the time it took to realize that it was not another good business daily, The World, became the leader of the network audience.
