Same general model except once a site is established you'll usually make more selling advertising than dealing with referral based marketing.

Build a site with content that is updated frequently. Buy traffic to feed it & use that traffic until you get enough bookmarkers/trades to sustain it. Content rules in mainstream sites (at least humor/entertainment sites). That's what draws bookmarkers and word of mouth.

Don't forget to use viral marketing as well. Get a concept, build the site around it and build the traffic. If you provide something the surfer wants on a regular basis - they'll come and keep coming plus telling people about the site etc.,

Take a look at some of the more successful mainstream sites and see how they're pathological about updating every day/two/three.
