Making Money In The Internet - Germany

Here I will briefly discuss the possibilities of making money in the internet in Germany (German: online geld verdienen) with geld meaning money and verdienen meaning to earn. Surely the possibilities are not very different from the methods of making money online somewhere else. Nevertheless, I will discuss whether a further potential for German marketers might exist and if online marketers not from Germany should consider getting connected to the German market.

The total online advertisement industry in Germany is rapidly growing with growth rates of 25% in 2008 and 10% 2009. This is impressive if one regards the general reduction of money spent for advertisement caused by the global financial crisis. Some online tools are developed in Germany, but often they are just imported. Programs and wide-ranging internet ideas are often translated. Facebook was translated and at the same time copied and adapted to German needs by introducing studivz in Germany. Another example is digg that is known as yigg. Before you wait that anybody gets your great idea you should maybe quickly provide a translated version on your own.

The tax situation is also quite complicated since the amount of taxes you have to pay depends on where your business is located, where the main consumers of your business are located and what your business is about. It also depends on how much you earn of course (German: Geld verdienen). The questions regarding the location are of course not easily to be answered since the internet and its user are usually distributed quite well around the globe. If the language of your site is English or if it is multilingual you have to pay fewer taxes in Germany.

Of course there are also German ads tools or affiliate sites. Zanox is the biggest network paying its users for writing articles about future trends and putting its banners on their sites. Another service for bloggers reviewing products in multiple ways is Trigami located in Suisse. Since it is only offered in German it should maybe think about letting English speaking advertisers participate in order to reach the global market for its products and to make much more money (German: online geld verdienen).

Furthermore business people located in other countries do not put much effort in trying to reach the German market. They are probably too lazy to translate all their content and do not consider the great potential of joining one more big sized market. It might turn out that their goods even belong to an important niche category in another market. Maybe in the home market there are already too many competitors in that niche. Altogether for some categories the German online market is almost certainly less competitive; that can be seen entering typical google search terms like online Geld, Geld verdienen, online Geld verdienen where Geld means money and verdienen means earning. The strength of the sites that appear is quite often not as big as the strength for English sites with similar content.
