Web.20, Web.infinity…it does not really matter. The crux of business is to give the people what they want and bring value to their life, once you achieve that, they will pay for it (within reason). If they feel that your business/product/site
gives them pleaseure (porn sites) or saves them time and money (Travelocity)
or makes their live easier (the internet) they will buy it and support it.
The web 2.0 social sites only deliver half of the pie.

Just my 2.0 cents,

Making money with web2.0? If the web2.0 core is “do it for love not for money” the question may instead read “how web2.0 modifies value chains”? The issue is that Web 2.0 is just a tool revolutionizing the distribution of value along the chain, specially unlocking the still unexplored money making capacity in the long tail. Web 2.0 money making is in the cross fertilization of other business. The core activity in Web2.0 shall be not-for-profit otherwise it would alienate the collaborative and participative users’ interest (and pleasure). The value of a web2.0 enterprise is in its capacity to widely impact on others’ value chains, therefore interacting with their capacity of making money. By the simple fact of managing these results there is creation of value that markets can understand and reward. Web2.0 opens the era of semantic money making…

Thank you for your question, Duncan!

Seriously, why is it that most internet start-ups fail to recognize the importance of a business model?! What business schools are these Internet “entrepreneurs” going to?? Oh wait, they’re not.

A business can neither exist nor prosper if there is no money… in the real world. Must everyone not forget that a website regardless the product or purpose is a business. There exist expenses. The expenses vary depending on the goal of the website. In order to function, revenues need to be made. For some reason, Web 2.0 companies want to defy this logic. As Tim Kendell argues that an internet company should wait to implement a business model or any monetize-able elements until they have established themselves aka attract users, there are very few sites out there like Facebook that have attracted as big a following. Agreeing with NoNo, every company needs to rely on marketing (50%) AND a business model (50%) particularly Internet companies. A business model can and should be very much intact in the beginning; however, the business (web-based) must then rely upon marketing in order to differentiate themselves from the masses of ineffectual “web 2.0″ companies.

I think the reason for this flawed logic is that many people who started out creating these websites had no expectation for becoming a business or making any money. Now, with huge injections of capital from deal-starved and starry-eyed venture capitalists, there are now more than ever high expectations for the “web 2.0” start-up. And groups like Facebook are guilty of having instilled this false sense of business upon the aspiring Internet entrepreneur.

Duncan, speak to Heather. She has our latest deck in hand showing our profits for the last 2 years and 7-digit profits this year. If it’s worthy of coverage on TC, I’ll gladly do an interview to share my thinking.

Is Beacon making money?

How do they make money off of Beacon if “the best ads are the ones users don’t know are ads”?

I think there is lots of money to be made in Web 2.0. If you look at Google they didn’t really know of the correct monetization model to use when starting out but they tested and eventually found one. I think Facebook’s monetization are lacking because they give up users privacy. I am amazed how often I see good startups go out of service just because they could not figure out how to monetize properly.

I thought Web 3.0 was all about the money (to be made) and the building of 7 billion niche social networks to monetize the entire Internet.

I’m not sure Kendall’s beliefs make sense. The best ads aren’t the ones that trick you into thinking they’re something else — they’re ads that people just actually want and volunteer to watch. Transparency on the Web is key; consumers know when they’re being duped online.

Honestly..If you are building solutions and looking for problems, you ain’t gonna make it. It has nothing to do with Web2.0 or 1.0 or 3.0…the idea of business has not changed over the years, just the way it is done and the market frontiers have changed.

If a startup(any startup irrespective of the jargon) focusses on cashflow(not so much on profit, I’d like to quote Amazon here) along with the obvious “problem you are solving” & “target demographic”, it will make money and it will eventually succeed.

response to 2# social networks in China are not new any more. It is unlikely to make money by set up new social network.

Everyone knows the best way to make money from Web 2.0 is to pretend that you are making money from Web 2.0, then write a book or start a blog.

@ chow “It appears to me web 2.0 is about “not solving problems”.”

That’s only partially true. The problem being solved is that such said services live within the cloud and therefore are accessible and more collaborative. I haven’t replaced word and excel with Google docs & spreadsheets, but my team uses them for simple collaboration on non-confidential info. The next gen of the web is just getting started and the ones building real applications will continue to see the technology on these evolve nicely over time. These types of services are the future of the web.

With that said, there are way too many people just copying old-school methods and code. These are the companies that I would suggest fall into your comment’s scope.

“In the end, I think the companies that learn to grow and make money will be more successful.”

hahahahahahaahaaaa…..

It’s good to see that Web 2.0 has learned the first thing you should have known BEFORE starting a business after only what, 2 years? Wow…

@mmt What? Are we back to the “VC IS revenue model again?” At some point, someone needs to be making some money or no one eats.
