Part of the guide: Blog Traffic
Today I thought I’d write a different kind of blog post. To be honest I’ve been getting sick of compiling lists so I thought I’d dive into one of the most asked questions in all Internet Marketing circles:
What’s the best way to make money online: Selling software, services, or info products?
I’ve played around with most online business models, especially the main 3; services, software, and information products. So let’s explore them one by one and come to a conclusion…
1. Selling Software
I love this business model because most of it can be outsourced. Many ask how to sell software without programming experience. The answer is outsourcing. I found that programmers from places like India can offer high-quality work for lower rates. WordPress Plugins, in particular, are a great entry point for beginners, and the market for these is strong, especially in niches like Internet Marketing.
2. Services
Providing services is one of the easiest ways to make a living online. For example, offering Internet Marketing services like SEO, content writing, and graphic design. You don’t need to be an expert; you can always outsource to professionals.
3. Info Products
Selling information products is great because they are easy to create and cost nothing to duplicate. You can create info products about almost anything and sell them online with minimal overhead.
Conclusion
There are many online business models, and I’ve highlighted three of the most popular. It’s up to you to decide which one works best for you.
In prosperity,

All viable methods to use to prosper online Dave. Thanks for sharing with us.
You have been paid late before
You have watched the number on the dashboard not match the number in your account. What is different now is simple: it settles on a public contract you can check yourself, not a dashboard I control.
Read the contract →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.

This post was super helpful, David! I’ve been dabbling in Internet marketing for a while, and your breakdown of different online business models was spot on. Keep up the great work, and thanks for always sharing such valuable content!

I’m not sure I fully buy into the idea that outsourcing software development is the easiest way to make money online. Have you got any case studies or examples that show solid returns from this approach?
Isabella Martinez
Great post, David! Could you elaborate more on the process of marketing info products? I’d love to know more about how you drive traffic to those sales pages once the product is ready.
Robert Castillo
I think the post misses a key point about services—it’s not always that easy to find good freelancers when outsourcing. Do you have any tips on finding reliable contractors for these types of projects?

Most affiliates earn little, and that is disclosed up front. The difference here is not a promise about what you will make. It is that you can verify every payout yourself, on a public contract, in about twelve seconds.

The outsourcing point is solid but skates past the hardest part — finding someone reliable enough to hand your one plugin idea to and trust they’ll actually finish it. That’s the part that either goes well for you or eats months.
Look, ‘outsource it’ gets said about software, services and info products in this post like it’s the same move each time. It isn’t. Outsourcing a plugin build is nothing like outsourcing the writing of your own info product — one replaces labour, the other replaces your voice.
Of the three models listed, which one actually requires the least capital to test before you know if it works?
Ivy’s question is the right one, and info products are usually the answer people give, but ‘costs nothing to duplicate’ isn’t the same as ‘costs nothing to create’ — writing something worth paying for still costs time, which is the input the post doesn’t count.
