    I'd suggest holding back for awhile, and just read and learn, and maybe work on a blog or two to get your feet wet with promotion and SEO, as well as the current trends that are making good profits. Then, once you have a better grasp on the market, start thinking about realistic ways you can bring something truly innovative to the market, whether that means coming out with a new idea for a website or simply doing something better than the competition.

    The reality of the situation is that if you make sites that don't stand out, don't have a big marketing budget, or can't be promoted virally, the only real way you're going to make your investment back is by selling the site along with your ads.

    Innovation is one of the many keys to success. Blaze your own trail, and make a million. That's just my two cents though. Good luck ;)

    I think the best for you to start with is building up a blog and start posting all about what you like, what you have learned, or what happen to your daily life and bookmark your blog to bookmarking sites, create RSS feed for your blog to let people know what your blog is about.

    And the most important is start with just one topic and put in your effort on this one topic you are interest in.

    Do not joined too many affiliate program....do this and do that.....this will just making you lose of concentration on building up an online business, your FOCUS also the most important.

    Let say, if you want to start with blogging, then just go for it, if you want to start with resell rights business such as you mentioned about surefirewealth.com or thesupergift.com , yes, this two places are good to start with, one is providing resell rights products and the other is mainly for list building.

    But most importantly, concentrate on one subject and i believe you will get the most out of it. :)

    You can PM me for more information about resell rights business, i am on this field.

    Hope this help.

    Just don't do a Paypal type site. It can get you into a lot of trouble with the law depending on where you live. There are lots of regulations and whatnot.

    Ill say a web directory. #1 as 8everything said, is almost impossible. Shopping cart, similar trust issues. And Dating sites, we already have a ton. Directory is a relatively safe bet.

    Just off the top of my head:

    1) is lucrative but you'll need a bit of capital to have it take off.
    2) is a proven money maker. Since I have a ton of dating/personals traffic I would go for that. However, the twist would be to make a FREE dating site (there's a ton of money in those -- see: http://www.webpublishingblog.com/ex...yoffishcom-creator-and-owner-markus-frind.htm for just ONE example. There's another huge free dating site as well, called Webdater). The drawback is that you have to have a lot of reach and must know how to target and recruit female members.
    3) I personally wouldn't waste my time on this unless I can justify the opportunity costs
    4) You must have something in the cart for you to sell... unless you're selling the shopping cart script but there's tons of those (and some open source ones as well. see: http://www.oscommerce.com/ ) already. I wouldn't go this route.

    In my opinion, you must just start working now.I mean, you go ahead with your top most priority issue. Leave it up to the people to feel the difference in your work.If they like it then you end up making more money.If they dont then change the concept. That's it.

    dude, you need a lot of time and investment for a dating site. The problem is people come and lurk but won't participate. It is just like running a new forum. I am tired of making multiple girl's aliases and talking to atleast 20 alter egos. Make sure you have plenty of time or find someone who can help you there.:(

    Doesn't matter what you want to do, you just need to understand that everything start small and difficult. It takes time to get high PR, but HP PR won't mean anything, if your web site don't sell a thing.

    Keep up you faith and do well on research before you get start. I personally prefer #4 shopping cart, because it's easy for me to handle shipping and merchant process. And which seem to be making real $$. The most difficult part is to find the product to sell. Other than that, it's pretty easy.

    This is one of my shopping site, which I can set it up in just few days.

    So, after reading so much post here, what i can concluded for building up a successful online business must meet the following criteria:

    1. Build Your List - Without A List You Can't Market anything for long term

    2. Find Your Market - Without A Market Demand, if you have a good product this doesn't mean you can sell well, in fact nobody will buy from you, so you must research for a market before you decide to choose the product you are going to sell.

    3. Your Concentration or Focus on one specific subject you have more knowledge in...nobody can claimed to do all in everything...just be specific on the subject your are going to put your effort in fully.

    4. Never Give Up - I had seen many people looking to make money over night and what i can say if you have this kind of thinking, then you will fail miserably....so, please do not have this kind of mentality. Doing business online will not make you rich over night... Just be patience and start building it part by part until success.

    5. Your Action - Your action is the most important, if you only reading and posting on forums but never take the action to start an online business, at the end of the day, you get nothing in return...

    6. Dedication and Passionate

    well, this just pop up on my mine suddenly... You can build anything you want from now, just remember this 6 things and i believe you will do well on it.
