There are a lot of online businesses for women to start with less than $100 and make more than $10.000 a month.
All thanks to the creators of the internet (Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf). Women can now start businesses anytime, anywhere and at any age.
The internet has helped solve a lot of issues about inequality and job discrimination against women across the world. One of these is the opportunity for women to start online businesses and take control of their careers, income and life.
In fact, there are many cases and examples where women have succeeded or excelled even better than men on average doing the same business. The days of “this is not a woman’s business” or “women can not do this” are far gone.
As we approach “Women’s Day” in our little way decided to empower women by sharing these business tips for women as we always celebrate women. This is why we decided to review and list the top 5 online businesses for women.
Blogging
Blogging made the number on our list because it’s one of the easiest online businesses you can start as a woman. Blogging opens doors to so many other businesses which is why we made it our number choice for online businesses for women.
It is very easy to start a blog with less than $100 all you need to do is to buy a domain and a Webhosting plan, get a freelancer to design your WordPress blog for less than $10 and you are ready to start blogging.
It will be great if you think of blogging as a long-term investment and not just an automatic money machine. You need at least a year of consistent working and networking to start making over $4,000 a month and probably another year to start making over $10,000 a month to support your life and family.
We have previously written a post about all you need to start a blog and ways to make money blogging in a well-detailed post (see the button below.

With the growing demand for content creators online rising every day, You will always have a job waiting for businesses online. This will depend on how good you are and how many hours you have to put into writing content for businesses.

The great advantage of this job is that you don’t necessarily need to be physically present all the time at the company as you can work from anywhere and deliver to your clients when you are done with each project.
Graphic design
When it comes to graphics. I genuinely believe women do it better than men and no wonder over 60% of Pinterest users are women and doing incredible designs.
The opportunity here is to become a graphic designer for some companies and make a lot of money from simply designing graphics on a daily basis.
Companies need graphics now more than at any other time in the history of online businesses. Businesses use platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and many others to get reach and gain more followers that will convert or become paying customers.
Their demand for consistent content to keep the flow of users on their profiles demands posting new graphics every day. This is why many companies prefer to outsource their graphics design to freelancers.
On average, graphic designers make over $7,000 amount and far more in some locations. Also, it depends on the company and your bargaining power as a graphic designer.
Don’t say you don’t know graphic design. You can learn graphic designing online and for free on YouTube and many other online courses to become a perfect graphic designer.
Social media account manager
You may not know this but there are a lot of businesses that prefer to outsource their social media marketing to reputable freelancers which saves them the cost to hire full-time social media marketers and allow them to concentrate on other things that matter to the business.
A social media manager basically creates and schedules posts on all social media platforms of the business. manage conversations between clients and the company.
Identify and target a specific audience to increase business visibility online. As a social media manager, you will need to engage the audience, replay all the comments and their messages and direct them to the right person to get more help they need.
It is also the job of the social media manager to occasionally analyse those social media users’ data to optimise their social media marketing campaigns. This means identifying what works the most and on which social media platform.
This helps the social media manager to focus on what is best for the company or business and do more in order to grow faster and better those social media pages which make it on our list top 5 of online businesses for women
Ad Manager
Advertising campaigns require regular checks and optimisation on all major advertising platforms be it Google Ads, Facebook Ads, AdsTargets ads, or LinkedIn ads.
The more these ad campaigns are checked and optimised, the better they perform in terms of getting more clicks, (CTR%), Higher conversion rates, lowering the cost of advertising (CPC) and overall higher ROI on advertising.
Employing an ad manager in most cases is not what companies do especially small businesses. This creates massive online job opportunities which many women can benefit from while making a good living.
Ad management simply requires writing ad copies, searching for a specific audience that suits the business, and finding keywords, industries and locations for the target audience.
All these can be done anywhere and anytime which is why you can easily become an ad manager for many businesses and make a good leaving. To round up our list of top 5 online businesses for women.
