Good Forum

WAHM
There are numerous ideas here for those who want to work from home. While some may find WAHM (Work at Home Mom) to have too many ads, its forums are very useful for those just getting started in working at home. The large message board offers forums for freelance writers, Web designers, and bloggers. There are also specific forums for those involved in various direct sales businesses such as Avon, Pampered Chef, Shaklee, Mary Kay and Ameriplan. For those interested in telecommuting jobs there are sections for virtual assistants, transcriptionists, and customer service reps. Some forums easily go off-topic and few of the regulars seem to care. Many posts are of the "how do I get started" nature and the responses are generally helpful.

Good Business Information

Entrepreneur
This is the online version of the monthly magazine. There are endless articles here on how to start a business, and run a business successfully. More importantly this site offers specific business ideas. There is a huge section just on franchises. You can find your dream business by niche market or by start-up costs. There is another section on direct sales companies, some of which you can start with just a $10 investment. Whether you are interested in starting a doggy day care center, or selling your quilts on eBay, there is plenty of information on the site to get you started as an entrepreneur. The site is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are having a trouble deciding on what type of business to go into.

Good Inspiration

Beliefnet
This site has nothing to do with business per se, but it is one of my favorite sites. Beliefnet deals with all religions, all faiths and all spiritual paths. There is something here for everyone, even those who are atheist or agnostic. There are forums that allow you to respectfully ask questions about a particular religion, fun quizzes, prayer circles, memorials, newsletters, book and movie reviews and anything else you can think of regarding your soul or spirit. This site will not help you to make money without a job but it will help you to balance your life better and offer inspiration and support when you may need it most. I highly recommend this unique and wonderful site.
