Part of having a home business is building up 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 arent supportive, so its 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. Its 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 doesnt work.
The first thing that you will want to do is to introduce yourself. Usually its 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...
