You need to figure out what's right for your company and your products; not necessarily what's
easiest to build. To be competitive, you need to understand how your customers want to work with you,
what levels of convenience they desire, and what features they will value in your online store.
Subscription Site -
Operating a subscription web site is rapidly becoming the preferred choice for webmasters
seeking to own a business on the Internet. Subscription sites are the most profitable because
they offer content with less overhead costs than selling a product or service online. Typical
subscription sites making a profit are classified ads, resource directories, adult content
sites and more.
Categorized and Indexed Catalogs - hundreds or thousands of items that require
organization. Items such as office supplies.

Commodity Products - differentiated by their products' price, selection, and
availability. Items such as software and books.
Considered Purchase Products - Expensive items that come in various models, each
with different options and different pricing, require customers to consider a number of

Configurable Products - The basic components are the same, but you can choose how
roomy or fast each of those parts will be. Items such as computer workstations and servers.
