I have been checking into this for a while myself.
Tell me what your resources are and what you are willing to do. I think unless you are quite unique and have some money to back your ideas, you will not suceed. If you were to come up with the best idea ever, and no one knows you exist, you will just dies a slow death. Any internet idea has to be promoted and reach a point where it can sustain itself.
PM me and lets share resources.

net businesses - my thoughts
I've been doing some reading on models for net businesses and internet income and agree it has to be something unique and naturally that there is a need for (or a need that you can make people think they have).
These are some of the income streams I have thought about.
Websites:
Site models that could generate revenue I can picture are:
1) Community sites drawing users based on a common interest.
2) Merchant sites - drawing users based on having a well known brand or something.
3) Web based service sites.
I go blank after that.
Of the three I like the community model best. If you can establish a big enough audience you have a big pool of people to market other things to. Most advertisers are looking for pools of eyes to see there products or services.
Cost wise there is development fees, site maintenance and of course some marketing.
I have site I was dabbling with based on clothing but I haven't had the opportunity to put much time into developing it. One reason was that on paper it was beginning to look like a very large undertaking.
Selling a skill:
In a model I read a guy seemed to make a great deal of money by selling little lines of ad space in a web newsletter he published every week. (He had established himself as a know it all in the field).
Another guy had a handicraft skill and put together a teaching package (cds and such) and sold it on the net. he sold ad space in his monthly newsletter as well as his products. Learning that craft was something a lot of people seemed to want to do.
I think this is a reasonable model. The perceived value of these packages can be quite high. The development is relatively simple as there is lots of relatively inexpensive software designed to put together learning information. The package has to be pretty unique though as there's a lot of stuff out there.
Commerce:
Finding items that someone wants and selling them on Ebay.
My thought is that Ebay people want the cheapest good possible and that is not the best level to make money at, but I could be wrong.
In terms of resources I have my creative skills (I work in graphic design) and some business sense. Not a great deal of capital to throw at anything.
None of these avenues are really low maintenance. Except for some sort of automated commerce model I can't picture anything one could basically just put in place and manage easily.
Those are my thoughts to date.
