Curious about the demand for Online Business Managers?
Since 2021, millions of professionals have left traditional jobs seeking more fulfilling work—creating a massive shift called The Great Resignation.
For those watching this workplace revolution unfold, there’s never been a better time to meet the growing demand for Online Business Managers (OBMs). And trust me, this demand isn’t just another digital trend.
Why Is the Demand for Online Business Managers Through the Roof Right Now?
Think about this: While everyone else is fighting over saturated roles like VA or social media manager, smart professionals are stepping into the OBM space where demand far exceeds supply. As CEO of Prowess Project, I speak with three CEOs daily who are actively searching for OBMs – or put plainly, a cross between a COO & VA. Someone who can be responsible for strategy AND execution.
Want to know what’s really interesting? Many of these CEOs aren’t just looking for traditional management—they’re seeking OBMs who can harness AI to transform their operations. And THAT is how they are able to be so impactful and demand high rates.
The AI Factor: Why CEOs Are Desperately Seeking OBMs 
Here’s a trend I’m seeing: CEOs know AI is crucial for staying competitive, but they don’t have time to master it themselves. They’re making a strategic shift—some are even streamlining their entire teams down to just themselves and an AI-proficient OBM. Why? Because one skilled OBM who knows how to leverage AI can often do the work of several traditional employees. For real.. we’ve seen it.
These CEOs are looking for OBMs who can:
- Implement AI tools across their operations
- Use AI to better connect with their target buyer
- Train teams on AI integration
- Automate those time-sucking routine tasks
- Make smart decisions about AI adoption
- Cut costs while boosting productivity
The Numbers Don’t Lie: OBM Demand in Action 
Let’s get real about what this demand means for you:
- 83% of our Prowess OBMs get interviews through us
- 60% land clients through Prowess
- Many hit six figures working 30-hour weeks
- Several command up to $150/hour
Why do these stats matter? Because they show you’re not just chasing another online business trend – you’re stepping into a legitimate career with serious earning potential.
Create Wealth, Not Just Income
Let’s talk money (because who doesn’t want to know about the financial upside of high OBM demand?). While others are price-checking VA packages, OBMs are building sustainable businesses with $5K-$10K monthly retainers. Our OBMs typically earn back their training investment within 100 days of purchasing our training program, OBM University. Think about that – where else can you make such a rapid return on your professional development?
What This Growing Demand Means for You
Picture this: Instead of constantly pitching and hustling, you’re turning down work and maintaining a waitlist. That’s the reality for many OBMs right now. Monthly retainers mean predictable income, and high demand means you choose your ideal clients.
Ready to Write Your Own Rules?
Right now, pioneers like Leah Steinkirch, Prowess’ COO, are defining what it means to be an OBM. Every process you create, every boundary you set, every rate you charge – you’re helping shape an entire industry. In five years, OBMs will be following the path you helped create.
The Lifestyle That High OBM Demand Creates
Want to know what life looks like when you step into this high-demand role? Our OBMs are:
- Working 30 hours and earning six figures
- Taking regular vacations without income drops
- Setting their own schedules
- Choosing their ideal clients
- Building location-independent businesses

You’re not just meeting demand – you’re joining a network of CEOs, founders, and industry leaders who value your expertise. At Prowess, we don’t just train you and wish you luck. We connect you directly with business owners who are ready to invest in top OBM talent.
Why This Window of OBM Demand Won’t Last Forever
Right now, there’s a perfect storm of opportunity:
- Businesses scaling faster than ever
- Growing awareness of the OBM role
- Critical shortage of AI-savvy OBMs
- Premium rates due to high demand
- Chance to set industry standards
- AI transformation creating unprecedented demand
But here’s the truth: This window of opportunity won’t stay open forever. The OBMs who combine management expertise with AI capabilities now will be the ones building the most sustainable, profitable businesses.
