Knowledge resources for entrepreneurs (2)

Posted on January 24, 2006

The next important knowledge resource for entrepreneurs is probably the www.entrepreneur.com site. If in previous post I was talking about the United States Small Business Administration site - which is really great but it contains “static” information, on the www.entrepreneur.com site the interesting thing is the lively and updated content and the FREE downloadable e-books and newsletters.

So what is www.entrepreneur.com about?

How to Guides
Probably the first place to stop after reading the lively articles on the homepage is the How to Guides where you can find articles on: Starting Your Business, Running Your Business, Growing Your Business. Each Guide is actually made of few articles on the topic, so take your time to drill down the pages. If you are looking for How to Start an eBay Business, How to Start an E-Business or How to Legally Establish Your Homebased Business here is the place to be. Anyway you can find many more information here, have a look.

Start-up kits

Next place to go if you are considering to start a business is the Start up Kits page
These are “are quick, easy-to-read guides to starting the most popular businesses around” You want to start a Hair Salon, e-Business, or maybe a Internet Entrepreneurship business? Here is the place to start looking.

HomeBiz
For the work at home entrepreneurs you can get interesting insights on: Home office essentials, legal stuff, financial and marketing tips. And of course I’ve especially enjoyed the “25 Part-Time Businesses to Start Today” article :)

E-Business

That’s the part I really enjoy and is talking about: Starting an e-business, designing your site and e-commerce. Plenty of information here (and watch out for the “more” buttons - there is more to read than the cover stories).

These Tabs are really about the technological aspects of businesses and the entrepreneurship lifestyle…
