When you work at home on the internet there are many tools that you will need. You may not need all of them at first, but eventually you will if you want to keep up with your competitors.
Here are the ones that are the most important for you to have if you want to have any success when you work at home.
One: Your own website. You want to have a website that you have full control over because that way you can add and remove anything you want to. Because you can easily add it to your website you will also be able to promote any business opportunity that you want.
Using a replicated website from an affiliate marketing or network marketing business does not allow you to do that. Plus when you promote their websites you are using the same one as everyone else is.
Two: Your own blog is also important when you work at home on the internet. Not only is it free to start your own blog but it is also an easy way to get free traffic to your website. If they are done right search engines love blogs.
Blogging is a great way to meet new people and get involved in social networking. So learn all about setting up a blog and promoting it when you decide it is time to add this tool to your business.
Three: Your own list will be an essential tool when you work at home. With your own list you will find that it is much easier to make money and earn the trust of your customers.
Plus it is free to start your own newsletter that you can deliver on a regular basis to your list. If you put in the effort to build a list now it will pay off for you in the future.
Four: You will need an autoresponder to deliver your newsletter. This can be found all over the internet and is cheap to start with.
Using a quality autoresponder such as Aweber or Getresponse is a real time saver. Plus you can pre-program a series of messages in it and use them to build relationhships and sell products as people get to know you.
This is 4 essential work at home on the internet business tools that can be the difference in succeeding or failing. Since you now know how important they are there is no point in trying to cut corners.

Are there any entirely IM or VoIP -based p2p support services? That is services like Yedda, only that the communication happens in real time, on chat or via Skype?
I know of IRC software support rooms and http://qunu.com but I am looking for something more advanced, for instance a database where you can tag yor question (without writing it, tags alone), leave your IM details, take advantage of a tag-matching system like here on Yedda and wait to be contacted on your personal IM client.
