For women running the internet,
one project at a time.

What this is

InternetChicks is a trade publication for women building things on the internet. Indie founders, freelancers, solo consultants, creators, developers, marketers — anyone running the commercial side of their own work.

The angle is operational. Most writing aimed at this audience is encouragement, and encouragement is not what stops you undercharging by forty per cent or signing a contract with unlimited revisions. What stops that is knowing the number, seeing the clause, and having someone say plainly which tool they stopped paying for.

So the writing here does four things:

• Publishes actual figures — rates, tool costs, revenue ranges — either from a named public source or from the author’s own work, always labelled as which. We do not publish invented averages, and “the industry average is…” is usually one.
• Names tools and prices, including the times the honest answer is that the free tier is fine and you should stop paying.
• Ends with what to do this week. Not a summary. A next action.
• Says when advice doesn’t apply. Most business advice is context-dependent, and pretending otherwise is how readers get hurt following it. Where a caveat matters, it gets a box of its own.

Five pillars: Build for shipping products, Client Work for rates and contracts and scope, Creator for newsletters and brand deals, Money for pricing and invoicing and getting paid late, and Career for roles, negotiation and portfolios.

New here? Start here — it routes by what you’re about to do, not by what we published most recently.
