Top 30 Female Internet Entrepreneurs

Posted on 12. May, 2009 by Michael in Entrepreneurship

Hello Everyone,

Women more so than men I find do not measure success by money alone but by a lot of things such as happiness, love, friendships, family and the list goes on. So in recognition of the great numbers of female entrepreneurs out there and in particular those who are active online I have decided not to rank the 30 women listed below by wealth alone but simply as my list of the “30 Top Female Internet Entrepreneurs”.

It is very notable that the majority of these top female entrepreneurs are bloggers and in fact some of the top bloggers in the world. No matter if you are male or female, you should definitely check out my FREE eCourse to creating and making money from blogging. Perhaps you could be added to a list like this one day!

If you enjoy this post, please share it with your friends on Twitter and Facebook.

PS. Who is your favourite female entrepreneur and why?

If you're really considering making a living through blogging, then you absolutely have to check out Blogging To The Bank by Rob Benwell. In his book, the UK millionaire blogger reveals step by step how he makes as much as $90,480 a month from just a few hours work.

For people ready to dive into a more premium guide, you should consider Blog Mastermind by Yaro Starak. Yaro teaches how you too can master the exact SYSTEM he uses to make a minimum of $10,000 to as much as $35,000 per month, blogging part time.

These are very interesting, I only knew about Ashley Qualls. I never really associate big websites with women, probably down to my steriotypical view of a web startup that it is a bunch of sweaty male geeks in a dorm room.

Good Post Micheal

Very inspirational. Impressive how these women have done all these amazing things. Most of them seem to have way more technological skills than most women. However, it’s great to see that many of them are simply great writers and/or had a BIG idea and followed it through.

(the follow through is what separates the women from the little girls!)

Mike, great input here, and i’m glad to see there are so many women who are adding so much value to our lives and business, online and offline. One such individual you might want to get to know is Jehan Ara, who is one of the most prominent business women, among several others, here in Pakistan, especially in the technology sector. Her blog is jehanara.wordpress.com. Jehan also happens to be the President of the Pakistan Software Houses Association, which works in collaboration with the IT Ministry of Pakistan. I’m sure she can introduce you to the other women who not only run businesses in Pakistan, but very profitably too. Thank you.

Nice list Michael, It is nice to see a list of women/females making it big time in the Internet/blogging world. I think I was always under the impression that it was mostly the men making all the money or making the grade. It could be the factor that I have always felt lacking in the Mathematical/Technical department that I’ve always felt goes with the male gender. You know how we’ve been programed to think that being a girl you can’t do math like a boy can. Well I’m finally catching on to the technical part of blogging, now all I have to do is get my self going and I’ll be on your list next year if not sooner. Thanks for the push or kick, just what I needed. So don’t forget the name- JJ was here from MCB.

Hi Michael…I, too, want to thank you for the inspiration and the confidence you have created in me by reading about these wonderful and intelligent women (and girls) who have persevered with their ideas.
I have not long started my blog and am thinking of doing another one once I have mastered this one from my little corner of the world in Queensland, Australia.

I know several of these women very well and can say you’ve got a typo on your Date Founded column. June 2005 was not a freakishly popular month to found companies. 1999 was, early 2000 was .. a few in 2003….

The only reason these are mainly bloggers is due to the researcher. There are plenty more women who have made millions online as executives at dot-coms or in services companies selling mainly online. But, you can’t always check our Alexa rankings easily so we’re under your radar.

Would it be a challenge to put in the wider community to match the achievements of these women and to do this with a positive social impac for all customers?
What i see here is a list if achievers in terms of finance. Success is not only to be measured by a cheque. but also by the impact a venture has on the planet, is it socially responsible, ecologically viable, etc? Let’s see what kind of list would emerge then!

Just a thought…

  Hello Servane,
  
  The list wasn’t necessarily done by wealth but by the success of the website. There would be no point including people in the list with a good idea but didn’t execute it properly because that is not what success is.

I would love to see some interviews with the top money makers. I went to the sites of the folks I’ve not heard of before, and it’s not obvious how these folks make money! I know the typical Adsense route, and some of these folks sell professional services. But how do these other folks make a living from their sites when there are no ads and no obvious sales of products or services? I’m so curious!

  Hello Lisa,
  
  Great question, actually most don’t make money from Adsense. A lot of them are making money through selling their own product, membership website or promoting affiliate programs.
  
  I will do a run down in a future post of how they make money online.

Rather US-centric! What about Cary Marsh, CEO of Mydeo (UK video streaming site), or me for that matter – co-founder & CEO of Memset – one of Britain’s top hosting companies!

Being an entrepreneur means starting a cash-generating business, not being a popular blogger. You should have titled this “the most famous Internet women” perhaps, but don’t confuse entrepreneurship with popularity.

You include a pet blogger for goodness sake! Talk about perpetuating the negative stereotypes of women in technology. :/

So glad you made this list of women. Very great role models for the rest of us. I am sure your list is based on information and statistics, which is great. I made a list of women too, but they are the ones that have made a difference in how I work.

http://www.4urworld.com/7-powerful-women-that-shaped-how-i-work/

But there is never a better women that any of us need to consider successful, or more influential than our own Mom’s. My Mom, to me, is the world’s most successful entrepreneur and role model. “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my Mother”.

I hope all of you have the opportunity to tell your Mother how much she means to you today.

Hearing about successful women such as the stories listed on this site as well as from a recent book that I just picked up, “The Power of Women United” by Tina Dezsi and Lia Bandola, makes me feel inspired to be successful also.

You omitted Donna Maria Coles Johnson, founder of the Indie Beauty Network. She has had a wonderful effect on the careers of so many “cottage entrepeneurs”

There’s more to being a success than gross income.

Rae Hoffman?

Anyway, my fave will be Elaine Wherry. Last time my college decided to block MSN and Yahoo Messenger so my other options is Meebo, thanks to her.

Kennon - 2009 Comeback Internet Marketer of the Year

05. Aug, 2009

Mark, thanks for compiling this list. This is something I’ll be referring back to from time to time. I’m going to put this in my favorites.

Now I realize you duly noted that success is more than numbers and what measure of income one generates. Nevertheless, I have a specific interest in knowing of which ones of these are considered to be millionaires. Do you or anyone around here have the answer to that?

Great list — many of the women are familiar. How about adding Ali Brown – the E-zine Queen. She has a huge event coming up in Las Vegas (SHINE) in November!

Thanks for this I have been a fan of iJustine and Net a proter for a while so its interesting to see how successful they are. I think women are just as capable as men as long as they forget stereotypes.
I am setting my Mum up with a blog at the moment to try and help her make a bit of money now she has retired and as she loves writing and is an ex english teacher, this may be the inspiration she needs to work at it through those months when you get little back.
Hopefuly the next list you do will have both me and my Mum in
