Best Internet Income Model? Pick ONE!

    If you could state ONE single model as being the BEST method of generating income online, from the comfort of your computer chair...what would it be?

    DO NOT give us links to your programs or any of that crap- just the niche or method that is above all else in terms of earning an income from home in a tough economy.
    As a matter of fact, we'll state upfront that NO LINKS need to be posted in this thread, just general ideas.
    Fair enough? :D

    Yes, we know it is a combination of factors for many, but if you were forced to choose ONE, what would it be?

    Affiliate marketing?
    Pay Per Click?
    Legitimate services?

    Lots to choose from, obviously!

    Personally, I provide writing services, so I'd have to say that. If I could learn another method, things might be different, but for now, writing is my thing.

    In other words, legitimate services.

    I prefer creating websites for long term profits, and services for making money on the short term.

    Probably the best services are:

    free lancing and affiliate marketing.
    IF you have some skills you can easily
    utilize those and get on Elance dot com
    or Guru dot com and find a project.

    I run my own store, and I'd have to say that it has a great ROI. So.. personally, that's my preferred method / flavour of the month.

    Quite a few mentioned affiliate marketing.
    I'm curious to know if you are getting your products noticed through search marketing, banners, text links....or? What is your primary method of advertising?

    I did search marketing for some time, but that got to be expensive when sales ran flat.

    My pick is small niche Adsense sites. I have had sites with Adsense on almost autopilot for more than 5 years earning money every month. Instead of trying to chase after the highest paying keywords and fads (like acai berry etc.) I stick with strong local markets like real estate, a market that will always be there.

    I also like investing in domain names. Good names that will go up x4 in a 5 year period.

    I dont think it really has anything to do with the method - rather the person putting the method into practice.

    I like to compare IM to martial arts. There are dozens of different martial arts out there - no one is better than the other. However, the real difference is the person who is practicing it, not the art itself.
