10 Online Business Ideas that Can Give You More Than 1000 Percent Return on Investment

Acknowledgements and Thanks to Noobpreneur.com

As you, Noobpreneur Business Blog readers and followers, might already knew, I threw myself into make money online arena about a year ago, with little knowledge of online money making methods, website or blog building, and Internet marketing.
I still learn hard today, even harder than I was one year ago, but during my online business trial-and-error journey, I found dozens of doable online business idea that you and I can start with minimum capital and maximum return.
10 online business ideas with more than 1000 percent return on investment
You can build an asset in the form of web properties and online businesses with minimal investment (some with zero, zit, zip, nada investment) that can make you 10 times or more of initial investment – either capital gain or monthly cash flow.
Yes, 1000% ROI – not only for capital gain when you sell your web properties, but also for monthly cash flow – that’s 10 times ROI monthly!
To get you started (and revved-up), here are my top 10 online business ideas from my observation and own experience:

    1.    Website or blog flipping business
Yes – just like in real estate, you can flip websites or blogs. The typical is to buy low, renovate, and sell high, but you can definitely go as a broker – you sell someone’s website to others and receive a commision: Wait, that’s even more than 10 times ROI! ;)
    2.    Website building business
The conventional – you build a website for a client with $10 in domain name, $50 in web hosting, your time and creativity. Your client could pay you anywhere from $200 to $2000. Um, yes $200 is not 10 times, but what if you host your client’s website in your own reseller account? Think about it…
    3.    Create a startup web business, sell it on online marketplace
Also the conventional, with a twist – you outsource to your partners for $30, sell your website or blog for $300.
    4.    Create an established web business, sell it on online marketplace
The classic money maker – Create a site with good concept, outsource to your partners, market the website, make some profit, and sell it for a higher sum of money. From the $30 case on #3 idea, you could even get more than $1000 if you delay gratification ;)
    5.    Web hosting reselling business
A bit saturated market, web hosting business is still offering something today. You can purchase a $25/month reseller hosting, such as HostGator, create hosting plans, that can give you 50 space to rent. Times that with $5, you will get $250/month – That’s 10 times operating cost, monthly.
    6.    Review sites
You can review almost about everything – web hosting, credit cards, health products,etc. – But first, you should join the available affiliate programs or networks to be able to market them. You should choose high-paying niche, such as web hosting and credit cards that could pay you more than $50 per lead, but beware of the stiff competition.
    7.    Content writing business
Content quality is more and more important today, as it can help your web business rank better, visited more and eventually make more money. Article writing can be outsourced for as low as $2, and be sold for $20 per article.
    8.    Membership sites
If you have relevant expertise in your niche, you should definitely think to build a membership site. It is basically a site that offer “insider information” or online training for paying members. A successful membership site can makes thousands of dollar a month with only a several hundreds of dollars in operating cost.
    9.    Blog network
This is not easy to do, but doing it right can make you considerable amount of money. Consider this – if you manage a 50 blogs network right and attract the right kind of advertising, you could easily make hundreds of dollar monthly cash flow, each blog.
    10.    Niche, even odd, sites
Selling bird cages online can make you thousands of dollars per month? You bet! A card collecting marketplace site can make thousands of dollar per month with only several hundreds of dollars operation cost? Sure! Going niche can make you successful business – just don’t go too far on the business idea :)

Organizing Your Online Business - 5 Tips To Help You Get Organized

If you are planning on becoming really successful with your home business you will need to think about how you are going to organize your online business.

There are many benefits to being an online business entrepreneur. You more than likely do not have to commute to work in streams of heavy traffic for a few hours. You can work when you like and how you like - or even in your pajamas if that is your preference! However, to be really successful with your online home business you will need to closely conform to one of the strategies that more conventional traditional businesses use - and that involves organizing your online business.
The reason you are building an online business is to make money - right? To make money you need to be operating profitably. To achieve profitability you need to be productive. The key to productivity is organization.

Here are some key tips to organize your online business

1. Organize Your Office/Work Area
Set up an area where you can work each day. Organize this work area so that you have all the items you require close at hand. You do not want to be going off searching for some item of stationery that you need. Try to save time in this way and it will add up over a period giving you more for productive tasks that make you money.

2. Plan Your Daily Schedule
You can easily waste time at the start of a new day by having to think about your strategy for achieving work products - so make a list the night before of what you intend to achieve. This means each day you can get going that much quicker.
As you complete each task on your list, tick it off. This will give you a feeling of achievement, and you can see just what progress you have made.

3. Take Regular Breaks From Your Desk
Most of us cannot concentrate for long intervals in one stretch - so it will help to take a break every hour or so. It will be beneficial to do something different for 10 minutes or so. As I am working at home, I use my ten minute breaks to do some of my household chores such as sorting the laundry, or dusting a room.
You will achieve more work product with a schedule of 4, one hour time blocks - than one solid four hour stretch of work.

4. Organize Your Business Finances To Be Separate From Your Personal Ones
It is a good idea to have separate credit/debit cards for your business and personal finances. It will make it easier to write up your accounts and save time as well. Pay off your credit cards each month, and manage your financial records with some system like Quickbooks or a spreadsheet based plan.

5. Set Up Filing Systems For All Of Your Online Business Information
In order to be efficient and productive you will need to be able to find the information you need quickly and easily. To locate that information you need to organize your online business with some tracking systems.

As online business owners we purchase products often. These might be in a variety of formats - audios, videos, pdf or whatever. Sometimes we make a purchase for a product based on a recommendation from a mentor or list we are subscribed to - then forget whether we actually downloaded the product or not. With so many download links we often cannot remember what the link was to access a product. All this type of information needs to be organized in a tracking system.

Again as online business owners you will be marketing maybe with articles, and need to be keeping a record of what articles you have written. These can be filed and tracked in a publications tracker of some sort or another. You need to keep a record of these articles so that they can be repurposed later on - i.e. in short reports or blog posts maybe.

In an online business there is a great deal of information that needs to be tracked and filed in a way that allows us to locate it in a second. This organization allows you to become efficient and therefore productive. Organize your online business for success and a peace of mind that will allow you to use that time more productively and to make you more money.

LIST BUILDING - H.A.R.O.


Not too many people have even heard of H.A.R.O., let alone know what it means. Do you? In my opinion this traffic getting , list building method for your Internet marketing isn’t for everyone but for some it could be an absolutely golden route to expedited list building.

The letters stand for “Help A Reporter Out” and the system dates back to a Facebook page some years ago where reporters advertised for contacts who could supply them with inside or professional information on  the subject  they were interested in. After registering to receive notifications of requirements in one or more of several categories, you would receive regular daily or twice daily emails advising of specific expertise, knowledge or experience that a particular journalist wanted to feature. The system became so popular that it has now been constituted into a website of its own and is considered a must by some online marketing aficionados.

On receiving email notice of a requirement in an area on which you had knowledge you would respond with a statement of your details and how you fit the requirement. If selected you could be featured in the media whether print, radio or other and by this means, gain an invaluable platform from which to publicise your online product or service.

If you feel that this method could be appropriate for you, check out the H.A.R.O. website, http://helpareporter.com  See the extract below.
