I’ve personally ran various online businesses over the years, and so I thought I would share my top 33 most profitable online business ideas with you today.

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our disclosure policy for more information.

Before we get into the online business ideas, I just want to say that you don’t need any prior experience to run any of them.

Yes, there will be a steep learning curve, but that’s what you would expect anyway with starting a new business.

So with that said, here are the 33 online business ideas which I’ve specifically hand-picked for women:

I’ve tried to list a variety of the different types of online business models there are, so hopefully you can find one that will suit you.

ONLINE BUSINESS IDEAS FOR WOMEN

1. E-commerce Store

eCommerce stores are very popular among women because you can sell things that you genuinely love and use yourself.

For example, you could sell:

The list could go on and on, but you get my point.

When you launch an online store, you’ll likely use a platform such as Etsy, Shopify or WooCommerce.

Holding Stock Inventory

You may want to buy your merchandise up-front and in bulk to keep the cost per unit as low as possible – and this is where it gets a bit expensive and overwhelming for a lot of people.

Easy eCommerce Shop Ideas

Thanks to technology, there are other options available other than buying wholesale and keeping inventory.

Print-on-Demand and selling digital products are two easier options. However, these do limit you to what you want to truly sell.

It’s important that you enjoy selling products which you love.

2. Dropshipping

Start a retail business without the hassle of managing inventory by partnering with dropshipping suppliers.

Dropshipping is where you have an ecommerce store BUT you don’t hold any inventory and you only pay for items that have already sold.

So this is how dropshipping works:

1. Create an online store
2. Choose products to sell
3. Find a dropshipping merchant who sells those products
4. List the products in your store
5. When a customer makes a purchase, the product is shipped directly from the supplier.
6. You make a profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.

You can see why dropshipping is very popular, therefore also making it very competitive.

There are a lot of women absolutely killing it with dropshipping by selling and marketing home, pet and beauty products on TikTok and Instagram.

So if you’re good at creating short videos, then you definitely want to give dropshipping + Tiktok a try!

3. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is where you promote other people’s products and get a commission on any sales you make.

When you sign up to an affiliate program, you’re given a link with your own unique code embedded into it, this is how the affiliate program merchant can track the sales of each of their affiliates.

To promote affiliate products, you would create content (written or video) around niche products, embed your affiliate links, and earn commissions for every sale generated through each of your unique links.

Affiliate marketing (i.e. promoting affiliate products) can be done on platforms such as:

4. Digital Products

I love creating and selling digital products!

I’ve been selling digital products since 2007 with my first ebook, and this is the best way to earn passive income online.

The most popular digital products are:

But of course, there are plenty of other types of digital products to create and sell such as images ???

When you’ve created your digital product, you would leverage platforms such as SendOwl and Teachable to host and deliver your content for you.

5. Print-on-Demand

Print-on-demand is very similar to dropshipping in that you don’t hold any inventory.

So here you would design and sell custom merchandise without holding inventory through print-on-demand services.

Create unique designs for:

Once you’ve created your designed wares, you would create a ‘mock-up‘ image of your product(s) and promote them on Pinterest, TiKTok, Instagram etc.

However, your design only comes into reality when a customer makes a purchase.

Then as with dropshipping and affiliate marketing, the print-on-demand service creates your product and ships it to your customer. You keep the difference from the retail price and the costs incurred on the print, creation and shipping of your product.

6. Online Consulting

Do you think of yourself as an expert in a specific field or area?

Or if not quite an expert, do you know A LOT more about a particular subject than most people?

I’m talking about areas such as:

If you do know a subject area deep enough to help others, then you could offer virtual consultations.

Being a consultant in a specific area is where you would leverage your expertise to help clients overcome challenges, set goals, and improve their strategies to reach those goals.

7. Virtual Assistant Services

Being a virtual assistant is a very popular online business model amongst women, and for a variety of good reasons.

#1 There thousands upon thousands of small businesses and solopreneurs who are constantly looking for virtual assistants to help them with business tasks in a multitude of niches.

#2 There are literally hundreds of different services you can offer as a virtual assistant (VA), so you’ll be sure to find a few – which are closely related – to offer yourself as a VA.

#3 In addition to finding tons on in-demand services to offer, you can also charge high rates for your services that will give you a monthly income of $5,000+.

Becoming a virtual assistant is an excellent online business idea for anyone wanting to make money as quickly as possible and without the need to create a big fancy website – this can come later if you so wish.

8. Social Media Management

Most people are on social media these days, and some people are on social media everyday on at least one or two platforms.

If this is you, and you love a particular social media platform, then have you thought about becoming a social media manager?

If you think about it, you love social media and know a particular platform inside-out, but a lot of small businesses and entrepreneurs don’t really have the time or the resources to put their business on social media – this is where you come in!

Here you would be helping clients build brand awareness, engage with their audience, and achieve their social media goals.

You would choose to specialise in one or more social media platforms and offer your services and expertise.

So as a social media manager you would create and upload engaging content, implement social media strategies, and analyze performance metrics.

9. Content Creation Services

When it comes to the Internet, ‘content is King’ as the old saying goes – and this is still definitely true.

As a freelance content creator you would be catering to businesses and solopreneurs who are looking for high-quality content to enhance their online presence.

Content can be in the form of:
