I beg to differ. Here’s one. Check out Internet Geek Girl. Her name is Stephanie Agresta and she’s a long-time affiliate industry contact of mine. Smart, funny and driven. She is a geek marketer just like me.
Happy Labor Day, and check out Steph’s blog.









Hi Jim. Thanks for the props. I love Steve’s term – geek marketer, but I don’t think it’s a new phenomenon. I have had the words Internet Marketing or Online Marketing in my titles for the last 12 years.
There are plenty of great women in the field. I would point your readers to the W List. Check it out:

Have a great labor day. I see you are laboring as I am. :)
Enjoy some sunshine as well.
Best,
Stephanie
I don’t think it’s new either Stephanie. Like you, that’s what I’ve been doing since 96 as well. I’ll check out the list, thanks!
Actually, I got too much sun today. I’m a lobster.
I beg to differ, there are loads of women in internet marketing, in fact marketing is mostly made up of women but in roles where the men appear to be in the upper managerial positions. I think the numbers are imbalanced in favour of men, but the women marketeers, they are out there and I would like to see them increase. There does seem to be less women bloggers and authority figures, dont know why that is though, just an observation – Jess
I am a woman working in online marketing and search engine optimization. I my country we count on fingers how many women are in this industry. Hope we will not be for long!!!

Let's get real. Of course, there are great women out there, but the high-income ranks of blog, technology and personal growth online marketers are MEN ONLY, PERIOD. Telling us this isn't true because you know about one or two lower-achieving woman for every ten thousand men is just denial.
It is stunning to me that when there are probably more women than men who are literate, only men make big money at writing online. The get-rich-bloggers for example are an exclusive boy's club. The top guys help each other by cross-promotion and they never – never – never include even one woman in their cross-promoting club. To be precise, get-rich-bloggers are almost exclusively white straight men, though a few non-white straight men have now been allowed to join. But women don't rate as authorities of any kind. The role of women in this mega-million scene is to pay the men for lessons but never become an authority worthy of their club. If they are authorities, they stay with niche, lower-paying 'lady' topics – teaching design or cooking or baby care. It is bizarre. How did this happen? How did the online marketing scene yank us back to the 1950s?
