business, yes, but another important part is to become
a part of a network of others who work from home.
Having a home business can be frustrating at times,
especially if your friends and family aren't
supportive, so it's always a good idea to get in touch
with others who are going through the same types of
things that you are going through.
One of the best places to go for home business support
is the Internet. It's full of message boards and
forums for people who are in the home business and who
are talking about the ins and outs of working from
home.
One thing that should be noted is that this is not a
place to go and promote your home business, although
there are probably threads that allow you to do that.
Everyone on the message board or forum has a home
business. This is a place to go and talk to other
business owners and to find out what works and doesn't
work.
The first thing that you will want to do is to
introduce yourself. Usually it's acceptable to say
what type of business you have as part of your
introduction, but make it short. After you have
introduced yourself, go through the different threads
to see if any of the questions that you have are
already being discussed.
Be sure to check the board or forum rules, but it's
pretty much universal what is expected of those that
join the boards, and what is allowed.
How have these worked for you? Let us all know by

Hi Dan snd Deanna,
You make an excellent point about forum and discussion board etiquette. It's not a place to promote your business, but instead a place to meet like-minded people and to share valuable tips to promote or market your biz. It's great when we're all here to help eachother.
Many Blessings....

Hello Hugo and Roxanne,
There is a right way and a wrong way of doing things on the forums and message boards. If you do it the wrong way they might kick you off.

Hi Dan & Deanna,
Your really adding some good content to your blog! I appreciate all you hard work and dedication!
Internet forums and groups are a good place to establish a community. Everyone needs support at one time or another...so that is a good place to get some help.
Thanks for your super post!

Just thought you should know, you have a typo in your headline. FORM should be FROM.
I found you by accident when looking for information about work forms.
