   • In the B2C model, businesses sell products or services directly to individual consumers.
   • Examples: Amazon, Walmart, eBay.

   • In the C2C model, individual consumers sell products or services directly to other consumers through an online platform.
   • Examples: eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace.

3. Business-to-Business (B2B):

   • In the B2B model, businesses sell products or services to other businesses.
   • Examples: Alibaba, Salesforce, SAP.

4. Consumer-to-Business (C2B):

   • In the C2B model, individual consumers offer products, services, or expertise to businesses.
   • Examples: Freelancing platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or consulting services.

5. Peer-to-Peer (P2P):

   • In the P2P model, individuals or businesses connect directly to exchange goods, services, or resources without a centralized platform.
   • Examples: Uber, Airbnb, TaskRabbit.

6. Subscription-Based:

   • In the subscription-based model, customers pay a recurring fee to access products or services on an ongoing basis.
   • Examples: Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime.

7. Dropshipping:

   • In the dropshipping model, the retailer does not keep the products in stock but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to the manufacturer or wholesaler, who then ships the products directly to the customer.
   • Examples: Oberlo, AliExpress.

8. White-Labeling:

   • In the white-labeling model, a company purchases products or services from a manufacturer and rebrands them as their own to sell to customers.
   • Examples: Many private label brands on Amazon, such as AmazonBasics.

9. Crowdfunding:

   • In the crowdfunding model, entrepreneurs or businesses raise funds for a project or product by collecting small contributions from a large number of people, usually through an online platform.
   • Examples: Kickstarter, Indiegogo.

10. Online Marketplaces:

    • Online marketplaces bring together multiple sellers offering a variety of products or services to customers.
    • Examples: Etsy, eBay, Amazon Marketplace.

Please note that some businesses may adopt a combination of these models or evolve their business model over time to fit their changing needs and market trends.
