100 Business Forums Women Recommend
Long before the new WEB 2.0 social networking sites came on the scene, many of us would network via message boards and discussion forums. And message boards or discussion forums are still an excellent way to communicate with people who share similar interests and exchange ideas on topics of interest to them. In fact, most successful small business owners know that if you want to rapidly increase and enhance your online presence you should become an active member of forums or discussion boards. So I asked several female colleagues to share their lists of favorite discussion sites.
The result: this list of 100 Business Forums and Message Boards!
While all of these forums have some business component, many of them also include other discussion topics of interest to women in other aspects of our lives. After all, we are not just business women! We are Total Women!
This list is sure to keep you busy for quite a while. Simply click on the name and it will take you there. You may have to register to see the board, which will also allow you to participate. Be sure and read the forum rules before posting. Happy Networking!

Great list. I think sometimes we get stuck on the same message boards too long and forget that we should continue to meet new people.
Find a message board you like, learn, interact, make new friends and business associates. Then find another board and meet a whole new group of people and some familiar faces.

Fabulous list….one of my 2008 “to do’s”…spread myself around a little more.
Heidi, I think you are correct, we do get stuck on one or two forums, especially if they are active and productive for us.
Always something new to sample if we tour around a bit.
Have a prosperous 2008!

It is very important to join together and develop and use our resources and talents to help others. We are connected and we use the services and buy our goods from people we know and trust. We develop this trust and in time use our ventures to grow and prosper together.
