Collis Ta’eed

Collis likes to joke that when it comes to starting websites he has a slight attention deficit disorder. After co-founding Envato in 2006 and launching the marketplace ActiveDen, Collis was responsible for one side project after another that have since grown with the help of a killer team of writers, editors, developers and management, into many of the flagship products you can read about on Envato.com.

She recently released a book for freelancers who want to build a bigger business through blogging.

Christian “Kriesi” Budschedl

Kriesi is the top earning author on Themeforest. He is very curious when it comes to finding new ways of generating passive income, which he does not only show at Envatos Marketplaces, but also in his personal projects.

Matt Lambert

Beth Heavrin

I’m a wife, a mom, and a writer. I’m a woman who wants options. 9-5, part-time, full-time, flex-time, telecommuting — none of that was for me. I wanted choices, so I created my own. By creating my freelance writing business I’m now able to provide my clients with rock star-level work because I work when I can focus on the project and nothing else. I make people & products shine by writing/editing copy for the web & print. Now I have options and I know that you do, too.

Travis King

I started designing web sites in 1997, in the heady days of 14.4 modems and Geocities. Since then I’ve split my time between designing and writing for leading design and freelancing sites like Smashing Magazine, FreelanceSwitch and Location Independent. I also make sure that Snipplr keeps on rocking for the good people at Envato.

Ainslie Hunter

I am a Netsetter because I have made money out of a specialized niche:  the sport of cutting horses.  In under 4 months the site has become the leader in news about this sport, we have advertisers and we promote businesses and horse studs in a completely new way. The site is an example of how the same strategies of great content, valuable connections and passionate creators can create a audience of loyal followers and passionate fans.

Margot Bushnaq

We believe a great brand name should be available to everyone, not just the Fortune 500. Top branding agencies can charge 6- or 7-figures for a brand name (that hopefully comes with a matching .com domain name). And you know what? If your company can actually afford it, it can be worth it. That’s how important a name is. But for everyone else, especially entrepreneurs who are bootstrapping it, we provide a less expensive, and less time-consuming option for highly brandable names.

Heather Allard

I help mom entrepreneurs live and work happier, healthier, smarter and wealthier through content and consulting. Over the past 10 years, I’ve built 3 businesses, including a service business, a product-based business and a blog. In 2004, I brought 2 products to market and in 2008, sold them for six figures. My mission is to help mom entrepreneurs strike a healthy balance between work and family by implementing smart strategies to grow their business while growing their family. Visit The Mogul Mom, and Follow me at Twitter!

Dawn Martinello

I help entrepreneurs find and crack open multiple streams of income by way of Guiding Sessions (consultations), product launch back-up (virtual assistant assistance), and mini-guides (affordable ebooks that guide business owners through social media, ebook launches, managing stress, and getting things done).  I’ve yet to spend money on advertising, yet within the first 6 months, I had a full practice thanks to Twitter. Visit my site!

Marcio Cosmo

Monji is the lead author at DevGrow, a blog on web design and development. By day Monji works as a freelance developer in NYC and by night he is busy working on his own entrepreneurial projects. His latest project is AlphaThemes, a new kind of WordPress theme framework.

Cori Padgett

Cori is a wildly hire-able freelance ‘ghost’ as well as the creative brains and dubious brawn behind her blog Big Girl Branding.  Her goal there- to bring forth quality info to readers, who can then use said info and apply it to their own biz, branding, and marketing shenanigans.
Using aforementioned brains and brawn, she’s made a living working online since 2008 with her ghostwriting biz WriteSyntax, which she’s since used as a platform to branch out into other money making adventures.  Cori is a primo example of a NetSetter because she firmly believes with the right kick in the ass, a healthy dose of motivation, and a wee bit of dogged determination just about anyone can do the same.  Oh, and a computer. Mustn’t forget a computer.  And Internet… or at least a Starbucks nearby you can steal Internet from…  But really that’s it, she swears!
