BY Ben Lang May. 10, 2010 58 Comments

After sharing with you “10 Young Entrepreneur Blogs you Should be Following“, here are 10 Forums Every Young Entrepreneur Should Belong To!

Young Entrepreneur

This is the ideal forum for any entrepreneur seeking information, help, ideas or feedback. Being an active member of the forum, I know first hand that they have one of the most helpful communities out there.

Retire At 21

Michael Dunlop, an incredibly successful young, online entrepreneur created this forum for all entrepreneurs. If you’re looking for general discussions on entrepreneurship or website critiques in particular, this is the place to go.

Startup Nation

Besides Startupnation’s forum, they have a social network with over 80,000 members. Join this network and you’ll have access not only to the forum but also the marketplace and a huge amount of resources.

Teen Aspect

This forum is a great place for savvy teens who want to become successful young entrepreneurs. The community may be small, but everyone is devoted to helping others out.

Teen Business Forum

After joining this new forum not long ago, I was bombarded with friendly messages. It’s proved to be one of the best forums to network with other young entrepreneurs and certainly has the potential to become more popular.

Small Business Forums

This forum is primarily for small business owners with questions. Every topic having to do with starting a business is covered here.

Small Business Forum

Different types of small business owners team up here to share their knowledge and allow you to ask questions. If you plan on starting a business in the future, this is the place to go.

The Fastlane to Millions

This forum has an awesome theme that really adds to the experience. Definitely worth dropping by to learn about the best ways in making money.

The Admin Zone

The Admin Zone is a great place for online entrepreneurs to hang out. Have a problem, question or idea? Share it there and you’ll receive superb replies.

Digital Point

This massive forum covers every topic online. It’s the place to go to if you want to learn more about every aspect in the “online” world.

Great list buddy. Which ones are you most active on?

http://ben-lang.com Ben Lang

Thanks. I’m most active on Young Entrepreneur and Teen Business Forum.

http://www.youngprepro.com Onibalusi Bamidele

Wow! Great List Ben!

I haven’t really added forum activity to my priority list yet, I will do very soon.

I use DP and I am very happy to read this list of other great forums that can help. I will begin to use them soon. I think teen business forum and young entrepreneur forum(even though I have been banned there) will be my choice.

Thanks a lot for the great post,
-Onibalusi

Hey Ben, I’m a memeber of Young Entrepreneur and Retireat21 I think. Don’t really hang out there – Gary Vaynerchuk won’t be pleased with me! I find that its very time consuming. Just my opinion!

Hey Aaron. Cool, it is time consuming, but could be very helpful at times. Just suggestions in case you ever need some forums…

Thanks for the links to the forums, Ben!

All of the forums you listed look interesting enough, so I will hit them up and visit them regularly starting tomorrow. To become successful, you have to be unified and popular. At least, that’s what I think

http://ben-lang.com Ben Lang

No problem. Very true good luck Joe!

http://ben-lang.com Ben Lang

Thanks, if you were to join just a few I would go with: Young Entrepreneur, Retireat21, TeenBusinessForum. Good luck!

I know I’m a little late getting here but will definitely be checking these out! TY!

http://ben-lang.com Ben Lang

Great, I love it when people find great posts like this one much after its posted.

Ray Martin

Cheerz for this list. Although I am not ‘young’ I have found Digitalpoint and Startup nation very helpful

http://ben-lang.com Ben Lang

Thanks Ray, great, enjoy them

http://www.anthonytori.com Anthony

I belong to a few of these, but definitely going to try out the others you mentioned. Some aren’t as interactive as I would like and seem more like a place to spam.

http://ben-lang.com Ben Lang

Great to hear, most of them have active communities and try as much as possible to block spam.

http://entreper.com Jason Webb

That was a well thought out and well written article. There are some jewels there for those of us not about to embark on starting a new business. thanks for sharing!

Thanks, enjoy them!

Mark Atkinson

Just what I was looking for! I am trying to become more active in the online community at the moment.

Having already signed up to Young Entrepreneur and Digital Point, the rest are completely new to me and I will be sure to check them out!

I think forums are a fantastic way to contribute to the community, generate great traffic and learn so much from others who may be more savvy on a certain topic than you are.

If only some of them were African based! (I’m sure Onibalusi would agree with me )

http://ben-lang.com Ben Lang

Awesome, well these are going to be perfect for you. I say that you launch your own forum for African based entrepreneurs, its the only way it’ll get done
