Digital business models
* Brokerage – a company that creates markets by bringing buyers and sellers together and facilitating transactions for a fee between them. Those can be business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), or consumer-to-consumer (C2C) markets.
* Advertising – a company sells space on their site to 3rd party advertisers who pay on a fixed rate, CPC (cost per click), CPI (cost per impression), or CPA (cost per action). Examples of advertising models include portals, classifieds, user registration, and behavioral marketing (where the banner ads are geared towards the demographic of a site)[1]. Popular advertising systems include Google AdSense and AdWords, Yahoo!’s Overture (also known as Yahoo! Search Marketing), and Microsoft AdCenter. Advertising works best especially on high traffic sites.
* Infomediary – a company that collects, analyzes and sells information on consumers and their buying behavior to other parties who want to reach those consumers. Examples of these are: Recommender System (Epinions), Registration System (New York Times)
* Licensing- By holding a patent for a certain type of device, whether it be a music player or coding this allows for selling of such knowledge and can create some significant profit with little to no effort on the creators part. The issue with having or creating new digital tools is the ability to copy or recreate the same tools without gaining the appropriate rights from the original creator. Protection and privacy rights will contribute to this type of money making technique in a vital way.
* Merchant – a company that sells goods and services through an online store. These “e-tailers” can be traditional ‘brick-and-mortar’ storefronts with an online presence or completely virtual and do not have a physical storefront. Goods and services sold can be either through listed price or by auction.
