Opinions on the huge profits in the online money-making industry

The word "exorbitant profit" sounds uncomfortable, Diaz, just like "speculation" and "unscrupulous merchants". However, for those who make money online, this word is full of temptation and longing. Let's first take a look at the explanation of the word "exorbitant profit" in Baidu Encyclopedia: It refers to the act of producers or operators obtaining profits beyond a reasonable level through improper means. Its specific boundaries and identification are usually determined by authorized institutions (price departments, courts, etc.) based on the relative price levels of the same goods or services of the same level in the same region and at the same time. However, ordinary consumers can also make reasonable judgments based on common sense and life experience (some people believe that exceeding 50%, or even exceeding 100% can be regarded as exorbitant profit).

Then, I took the opportunity to learn about the top ten exorbitant profit industries and the exorbitant profit tax. Although the exorbitant profit in the network aspect was not separately listed and explained, we can easily find that the exorbitant profit projects in the network industry have actually been included in the top ten violent industries. It's just that the traditional sales methods in reality have been replaced by online sales.

Since selling products online does not require traditional store expenses, the profit margin is relatively higher. Some bidding projects even have profit margins of several hundred percent, which indeed deserves the name of exorbitant profit!

The difference between "exorbitant profit" and "concept"

This question has puzzled me for a long time, and I ultimately couldn't figure it out. "What I sell is not a product but a concept," in this case, you cannot say it is exorbitant profit. However, while writing this article, I suddenly realized that the difference lies in this phrase "improper means".

Yes, as explained above in Baidu Encyclopedia, using "improper means" to obtain profits beyond a reasonable level is "exorbitant profit"! This means that exorbitant profit doesn't need to be divided into good or bad from the very beginning, it belongs to improper behavior! This can explain why I had a moral dilemma before.

Is "training" in the online earning industry a new "exorbitant profit" project?

In 2011, the "training" business in the online earning industry was indeed very popular. I did not join others' training nor did I conduct my own training, so I won't comment. However, according to the top ten exorbitant profit industries summarized by Baidu Encyclopedia, training indeed falls under the category of exorbitant profit projects.

Is "exorbitant profit" illegal?

There are many exorbitant profit projects on the Internet, such as weight loss and beauty, so are these exorbitant profit projects illegal? This topic is quite sensitive, and I have always wanted to understand it clearly, after all, exorbitant profit is very tempting! If any students who are familiar with the legal aspects of this area can participate in the discussion through comments, I personally feel that as long as the product quality is not a problem, there should be no big issues. Therefore, I suggest that when choosing exorbitant profit products, one should still consider the product quality first, otherwise, no matter how large the profit is, it cannot offset the legal risks of selling fake goods!
