    30. BUSINESS MODELS
      • How do we make money?
    31.  
    32. WHAT DO YOU USERS HAVE TO DO?
      • Who are you users?
    33. Marketplace Model Advertising Model Affiliate Model Community Model Subscription Model
    34. I have always been a woman who arranges things, for the pleasure–and the profit–it derives. I have always been a woman who arranges things, like furniture and daffodils and lives. Marketplaces bring buyers and sellers together and facilitate transactions. They can play a role in business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), or consumer-to-consumer (C2C) markets. Usually a marketplace charges a fee or commission for each transaction it enables.
    35.  
    36. I’ll go where the buyers are I want to find things! I want the best price! Can I trust this seller? Users must find products, evaluate seller, and make a purchase
    37. Advertising Model The web advertising model is an update of the one we’re familiar with from broadcast TV. The web “broadcaster” provides content and services (like email, IM, blogs) mixed with advertising messages. The advertising model works best when the volume of viewer traffic is large or highly specialized.
    38.  
      • Users must:
      • Notice advertising
      • Interact with ad
      • Preconditions: User must visit advertising location
      • Share their demographic information
      • Types:
      • CPM
      • CPC
      • CPA
    39. Community Model The viability of the community model is based on user loyalty. Revenue can be based on the sale of ancillary products and services or voluntary contributions; or revenue may be tied to contextual advertising and subscriptions for premium services. The Internet is inherently suited to community business models and today this is one of the more fertile areas of development, as seen in rise of social networking.

    41. Subscription Model Users are charged a periodic—daily, monthly or annual—fee to subscribe to a service. It is not uncommon for sites to combine free content with “premium” (i.e., subscriber- or member-only) content. Subscription fees are incurred irrespective of actual usage rates. Subscription and advertising models are frequently combined . Content Services Software as a Service Internet Services Providers
