Describe THREE (3) categories of e-commerce revenue models with ONE (1) real-life example for each model. Below are the guidelines of answer. DO NOT use guidelines below as the answer of question. If you not understand question, DO NOT answer, please comment below. Use your own answer and give your own experience example.

Answer:
First let me list the three :
1. Affiliate marketing <<explain this and give one real life example.
2. Online advertising<<explain this and give one real life example.
3. Transaction fees<<explain this and give one real life example.

Explanation:
1. Affiliate marketing enables you to earn revenue by marketing or offering another product for sale on your site. For example, you may reference a book you read and recommend your customers get a copy for themselves. You could also set up an affiliate account and place a direct link to the book on the Amazon site, which will pay you a percentage of the sale. If you decide to participate in affiliate marketing, you\'ll need to research which companies might provide you with a financial incentive for promoting their sites on your page.
When you\'re just starting out, the money you earn from affiliate marketing may be just a small, supplemental amount. However, as traffic to your site increases, you may enjoy more substantial income.
2. Online advertising is a very popular revenue model for e-commerce businesses. In this method, companies or organizations buy advertising space on your site, provide a designed ad or written message, and then pay you for promoting their messages. Media sites, such as magazines, newspapers, and television channels typically use online advertising.
Two common types of online advertising include pay-per-click and pay-per-view, which determine how much advertisers will pay for their advertisements. While some sites charge a set fee for placing an ad, most pay a set fee for each person who clicks on a link or views a page related to the advertiser. As traffic to your site grows and more people click on an advertiser\'s link or view a related page, you\'ll earn more advertising revenue.
3. Transaction fees are the charges a company pays for using their service. If you\'ve ever sold anything on eBay, you know there\'s a set price for posting a product for sale. Each time a transaction happens, you pay a small fee to eBay for marketing your product. Whether you charge a small fee for a company to list a transaction or for someone to view a video, transaction fees can be a sizable if the traffic to the website is substantial.
Examples of the firms that use these revenue models are:
1. TDC and Orange are using Affiliate marketing .
2. Coco Cola , AMEX , Mint are using Online advertising .
3. Google (e.g. AdWords and AdSense),Facebook,New York Times (Marketing) are using Transaction fees.

The firm Johnson-Evinrude Inc (or JE, to keep it short) has been in existence for more than two decades. However it is confronted by a changing technological and market environment.

While it is well known for the manufacture and sale of two stroke boat motors that have enjoyed a positive reputation, it is now facing increasing competition from four stroke boat motors. In terms of market growth the highest growth rates are being experienced for four stroke-high horse power motors; Johnson is testing motors of this type but their products seem to have multiple defects. The same type of motors of Japanese brands are flawless. It is true that in traditional two-stroke high horse power motors Johnson has a high market share –almost 65%, but this type of motor has almost no growth in the industry as a whole.

In the low horse power, 2 stroke market Johnsons share is minor and in the industry it is low horse power four stroke motors that have a rapidly growing market. JE do not have any of their own products in this category. Many Chinese manufacturers make these as generic unbranded products and the Chinese products are of low cost and good quality

JE has also been marketing trolling electric motors. The JE design is very well regarded in industry and with fishing gaining popularity as a sport trolling motors is a growth area. However, Johnson’s share is not as high as it could be because of inexpensive Chinese substitutes. While the Chinese products take advantage of lower manufacturing costs they lack the design sophistication of JE products.

Questions: Discuss the above from the perspective of :

1. Product portfolio management (the BCG or Growth Share Matrix approach)-for this classify the different types of motors in terms of the BCG Matrix – Rate of Growth of the Industry and Market Share of the Firm; Cash Cows, Dogs, Stars, Question Marks; make sure that you do this for every type and category of motor.

2. Try to analyze the portfolio/different motor categories in terms of the diversification or product –market matrix

3. Make suggestions for the overall marketing strategy for JE. You may like to ‘classify’ products (whether current or planned) and then develop your approach for them.

4. Discuss the possible problems that the company may face when it decides to divest from certain categories.
