Lead generation, sales, free memberships vs. paid memberships... all will have their own conversion areas. For general sales/products I would say 1-4% might be standard.

Which range of conversion rate do you think is an standar conversion rate range? I know there is lots of points we have to take into account (bids, earns by each conversion...) but I mean "standar range". Low limit of 1% could not be affordable, and high limit of 10% could not be real in the long term. Cheers!

But you should not underestimate the possibility of offline-business. The italian restaurant you mentioned has about 10% costs for flour, tomatoes and other stuff. They dont need many pizzas to pay the employees as well. And then their real business begins with very interesting margins. Online is of course interesting.

Simply because online business doesn't cost as much as it does to run a brick-and-mortar business. Not to mention that when your business is online, your accessible worldwide... try and do that with a brick-and-mortar business. Not to mention, if you run a small business out of your home, I'm not trying to toot any horns, but can you say "tax deductions" (minus the headache to prepare those taxes, unless your smart and get a accountant.)

I'd recommend someone pick a subject they know and are passionate about and then start taking names.

If you are alone and work at home you dont have those bills to pay. Well, I think that in spite of launching an online business you'd need an office and computers if you have some employees.
