Whether you’re stay-at-home mom, housewife, or entrepreneur, having an online business gives you the freedom you need whatever your situation might be.

When I thought about writing an article around what is the best online business for women, I wanted to go straight to something that has been proven over and over again to be very effective, especially for women.

You can find articles all day long around the Top 10, Top 50, or Top whatever, ways for women to make money online. So, I decided to get straight to what I know works for most women.

Who Am I, And What Do I Know?

Now if you’ve poked around my site I’m sure you know that I am not a woman. So you might be asking, what the heck does this guy know about what I need?

I’ll tell you a little about myself. I’ve been married for over 25 years, have 4 grown children, and a passel of grandchildren. My wife and I are even raising some of my grandchildren due to unusual circumstances.

Aside from that, I’ve been very blessed to be working with many successful women online in the communities that I belong to.

The one thing I’ve learned over the years is this. Women know how to write, how to blog, and how to garner a following on social media. More so than men I believe. I think it’s something that comes more natural to a woman.

The Easiest Path To Online Success

I’m not just talking about blogging or writing, I’m talking about Affiliate Marketing using niche websites, which are basically blogs.

This is also another reason I don’t like to recommend online jobs like writing. Why? Because if you’re going to write an article for someone, why not write for yourself so your writing will continue to pay you long after you’ve written the article.

With Affiliate Marketing there are millions of products you can promote, but more than that, there are millions of niches that you can base an Affiliate Marketing business around. And you can create as many niche websites as you want.

If you’re not familiar with Affiliate Marketing, it’s simply promoting a product by using a special “Affiliate Link”. So that when your reader clicks on the Affiliate Link, you’ll get a nice commission from the sale.

The advantages of Affiliate Marketing are many.

• No inventory to worry about
• No employees are needed
• No worry about sales taxes
• No upfront investment
• You can start on a shoestring budget
• Set your own hours
• The world is your marketplace

The other great thing about this business is that if you do it the way it’s supposed to be done, you’re not doing any hard selling. Your approach is to create a niche website that focuses on providing helpful information to your readers. So your not creating content to just sell products, you’re creating content that helps your readers through how-to articles, product reviews, and other informational articles designed to answer the questions and solve the problems your readers have in your particular niche.

If you’re getting a little lost at this point that’s OK. I have tons of free information on this website that I’ll point you to, which will help you get a better understanding.

Understanding Affiliate Marketing

The diagram above illustrates how the Affiliate Marketing process works.

It’s very simple. A customer (Step 1), searches for something related to your niche via Google, Facebook, YouTube, or whatever medium he chooses, and finds your niche website (Step 2). Through your niche website, your customer eventually clicks on one of your Affiliate Links (Step 3). When the customer makes the purchase you make money (Step 4).

Its pretty simple. Now you might be thinking about how to create a website or how to promote a website. That’s really the easy part. You can create a website with the push of a button these days using WordPress.

You don’t have to be a technical guru to build a website. And when you write content centered around helping your readers you create a relationship with them. They will begin to trust you, so that when you make a product recommendation through a review or other articles your reader well feel better about making a purchase through your website.

Why Is Affiliate Marketing Great For Women?

There are many areas women excel in online that are huge money making niches. You can carve out great niches in areas such as:

• Beauty
• Fitness
• Weight Loss/Health
• Self-Improvement
• Parenting
• Dating and Relationships

Just to name a few.

Practically anything you have a passion for can create you a nice online income through Affiliate Marketing. Turning your passions into a business makes for easy writing and content. Many times I can ask a guy what they are passionate about and I will get a blank stare. However, if I ask that question to a woman, I’ll get tons of responses. What is the best online business for women? I rest my case!

Your websites/blogs also give you a way to express yourself and your passions as well as share and connect with others. It can be a great platform for making a difference in the world supporting any cause you may have.

Your websites also serve to build your authority on any topic. In fact, many Affiliate websites are in fact Authority Sites. When your readers see you as an Authority on a topic, they will trust your recommendations and turn into repeat buyers.

Aside from the advantages I listed earlier, this business works very well with social media. Social media sites such as Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram can help drive loads of traffic to your niche websites.
