Most things that you can buy online are products, rather than services in a form of access to some information/website. What is typical about many things that people buy online is that they are finished products. A customer who buys such a product knows that all he will receive will be this particular product he is buying. The situation is different with selling access to websites. Usually websites that sell access to their site feature comprehensive articles. They often discuss subject that people in a particular niche are interested in. Such websites also sometimes host small programs that can help people achieve what they are looking for. My opinion is that anyone who is looking for ways to make money online should consider offering access to websites, as well as selling products. Of course, you will need to be able to offer something very useful in order for people to want to pay for access to your website. That might not be easy, as there are millions of websites that do not charge for access to their site. Nonetheless, I am sure there are various niche websites that people are interested in to such a degree that they would not mind paying for. An example of such a website could be an investment portal.
