Money on the internet

One of my friend once said "it's extremely hard to make money on internet now a days"

I think he hit the bullseye with this comment, making money only doing virtual thing is hard since most of these things have already been built and already have huge user base, taking for example Facebook, gmail, twitter, Dropbox etc. This doesn't mean that there won't be a billion dollar virtual company coming in future and I think secret.ly is getting close to it since they are inventing a new communication protocol but they are one in thousands startups who are building the next generation online communication protocol.  

The companies making money on internet right now are the ones that are bridging the gap between the virtual world and the physical world some examples being uber and airbnb.

It's on the new age entrepreneurs to keep looking for disruption around their physical surroundings. Take out your headphone when you are walking, take public transportation instead of driving your car; hop on a train ride from LA to SF, instead of flying. You'll  find opportunities everywhere. Be aware of your surroundings.

Why am I saying all these things? Because I am disrupting one of these industries right now. Good luck guys, I know you'll do it.
