In my opinion, this one business is one of the most profitable types of online businesses nowadays. The reason is, consumers in Indonesia have been many who started to switch to online, and run Internet business do not need big capital lho, even almost without capital.
The advantage of selling other people's products (Reseller/dropshiper/affiliate) is that we do not have to worry about procurement of goods to be sold and also the delivery process. There are many online stores that offer this program, of course we also have to learn the transaction history from the online store. Make sure that you work with the person who is responsible and trustworthy.
Online stores that offer reseller and dropship programs are usually willing to deliver the goods to the purchaser in the packaging of the goods name or our online store that is the poster. So we will not lose those buyers if you want to make a purchase later. Products sold by way of reseller/dropship are usually shaped goods.
In addition to selling physical-shaped products, we can sell other people's products in digital form such as ebooks, videos, and memberships. Usually this program is called an affiliate where we earn a commission percent of the total price of a digital product that we sell through our affiliate link.

Besides the content in the form of text, video content and logo images are also pretty much in need. One of the most sought-after video and image content is to create a video marketing and also a logo-related image of the business that will be marketed.

In addition to these two businesses, there are several other MLM businesses that have very good business potential. But I can't comment much because I've never run it.
7. Become a professional Blogger
If this one online business model is sure almost everyone can work on it. There are many bloggers who have a fanstastis income from a blog/website that is built. I personally am deeply inspired by the success story of a blogger from the UK, where originally his WordPress blog that related to social media eventually became a great site with an income of reaching four hundred thousand dollars more per month.
If it is taken up the income is four billion more per month. The name of the site is mashable.com, originally created with CMS WordPress.org but now it's built with rubyonrails.org.
