How the word shows up in a real conversation.

A mentor asks, “What is your Online business model?” The useful answer is concrete: framework for conducting business operations primarily through digital channels. A slide title is not an answer.

Common mistake

Using Online business model as a label instead of a fact. If you cannot point to the evidence — a number, a customer, or a written assumption — you are using the word as jargon.
