Feeling isolated in your start-up venture?
Have questions but have no one to turn to for answers? Sarah Prevette knows the feeling. When she started upinion.com, a pop culture website for teens and tweens back in 2007, Prevette could only get feedback from colleagues, friends, and family. 'While they were entirely supportive, they didn't identify with the same issues,' she says. To get the answers she needed, she picked up the phone and started cold calling people who had started similar ventures. Her success was limited. 'I would hit these entrepreneurs with 10 questions about how'd you do this, how'd you get the visibility and things,' Prevette says. Using a Twitter-like format, Sprouter is a place online where entrepreneurs can socialize, share tips, and ask questions in a rapid-fire, short-attention-span fashion.

In this post, I continue with the final nine business models (marketplace, video, commerce, retail, subscription, music, lead generation, hardware and payments). As I mentioned last time, this list is not meant to be exhaustive but it should cover most consumer Internet startups today. Key Drivers: Avatar - Track 4 - The Bioluminescence Of The Night.
