It is highly recommended that one of the first things you should do when you start an online home business is join an internet home business marketing forum where you will find a wealth of free information, budget saving tips and money saving ideas available to all members.
Forum members will vary from newcomers to internet marketing gurus and the tips and advice that accumulates in the forum postings from these members is invaluable and most times you will find the answer to any online home business questions you may have. If you do a search in the forum you will be sure to find a number of postings offering solutions.
It is important to treat this forum almost as a home base and make daily visits and contributions. Help others out if you can offer advice to their queries and become known in the forum. You will become acquainted with gurus in your field and find it easy to pick out the strengths of different members.
Instead of wasting precious time searching the internet for solutions or answers often it is a great time saver to post your question in the forum and usually within a few hours you will have a number of replies to your posting offering advice, tips and solutions.
The other great thing about forums is that if you are running your online home business on a tight budget they can save you a lot of money.
For example you may still be in the early stages of learning html or are having problems fixing something on your site and yet despite helpful and informative postings from other members you are still unable to solve the problem.
In this case instead of paying someone to fix the problem for you, you could approach the other members either by a public posting in the forum or by sending a private message (PM) offering them a link on your home page, or offer to run an advert for them in your newsletter or offer to send a broadcast to your opt-in list in exchange for fixing your problem.
We all know that unique content is a very valuable asset on the internet so another form of payment that you could offer is to write an article or two exclusively for the webmaster with his chosen theme and keywords in exchange for helping you out. You could still add your resource box with a link to your online home business website to benefit from the back links.
Another form of payment you could offer is placing a small classified advert or banner on your online home business website for a certain length of time.
Apart from saving time and money by networking in the forums you will gain so much really valuable information that will contribute to the growth of your online home business that would be hard to find anywhere else. You are dealing with people who have walked the road before you and are speaking from experience.
It is also a good idea to post in the forum prior to joining an affiliate program, purchasing a program or buying traffic to seek the advice of the other members. This could save you a lot of money on the one hand or on the other hand give you the confidence to move forward.
Forums not only provide information that will be so valuable to the growth of your online home business but they are great places to make friends and form joint ventures.
The longer you belong and participate in a forum the more at home you will become and you and your online home business will benefit greatly from the budget saving tips and money saving ideas found in the goldmine of helpful information available.

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.

Online political science communities
By: drabsv | 06-04-2008
I am looking for online communities dedicated to political science. Please, recommend me relevant forums, social networks, wikis, etc.I am also curious about any online communities dealing with something I'd call "political problem solving". I imagine it to be a virtual meeting place for people with politics-rooted, everyday problems (such as inadequate public transport, high neighbourhood crime rate, bureaucracy hassle, personal experience with corruption, etc), on the one hand and people with background in political science/ politics/ social sciences, on the other hand. The latter would be expected to be able to offer solutions (or clues for solutions), specifically based on their political knowledge/ know-how. Come to think of it, we take it for granted that we can benefit from the service of lawyers, attorneys, etc on law matters, but a practice of professional advice services on "everyday political matters" has never existed.
