One of the common characters shared by all of three is that if you treat them as a business, and master the skills required, you could enjoy a long term and lucrative profit out of them.
Online Business Model 1:

You just need to sign up a free google adsense account, copy the codes provided and paste to your website. Google adsense will decide what ads to show based on the contents of your websites. The other way is to sell the ad space on your site to other business owners.
The skills required are providing quality contents and driving traffic to your site.

You can find thousands of products on the affiliate network sites such as Clickbank or Commission Junction. Choose the quality ones that interest you, post the link on your website or drive the traffic directly to the link page.
