    I would like to get input on some good practical online business ideas.
    What can you sell as a web distributor online that could be profitable sometime in the near future say within 1 year. Thanks so much for the inputs.

    There are two approaches:
    1 go with something you love and become the online 'expert' - Niche market
    2 find something that people are interested in and become the online 'expert' - Niche market within a larger market

    Sex, Dogs and pets for example are always popular, but the market is saturated and the cost / benefit of entering is questionable. -So you would need to try for a niche market within the larger pool of what is already popular.

    Word tracker will give you a list of the most popular searched phrases for the previouse month.

    The best advice i can give is to spend quite a bit of time here READING. Most of what you are about to ask has been covered numerous times and few people will bother to answer your questions.

    Good luck

    think of something really obscure that you know a lot about...then write a website about it
