Here are the websites that can help Entrepreneurs to track down the appropriate entrepreneurs:
1) OnStartups: An online community and blog for startup entrepreneurs
This site is a perfect place to crowdsource all of your small business questions. After you post a question, anyone can post an answer. You and other users can vote the different responses up or down so that the best answer floats to the top — at which point, if you decide to, you can mark one response as the “accepted answer.”
2) Focus: Business Expertise for Everyone
Focus differs from other Q&A sites by maintaining a core group of experts who answer many of the questions on the site in exchange for the opportunity to promote themselves. This feature makes it more likely that you’ll receive prompt and useful responses.
3) MicroMentor:
MicroMentor is a free online service that connects small business owners with business mentors. MicroMentor offers business professionals meaningful volunteer opportunities and offers entrepreneurs one-on-one advice and business mentoring to help their business succeed. Be a mentor, find a mentor, and build a business.
4) Entrepreneur Connect:
Entrepreneur Connect is the social network where small-business owners can create a profile, explore the community, share ideas and make connections.
5) PartnerUp:
Find business partners, opportunities to get involved in businesses, commercial real estate and resources to make your company or idea a success.
6) EFactor:
The authors of business networking book The N Factor venture up the alphabet a little bit to bring you the EFactor. This social network for entrepreneurs can help you answer your questions in a handful of different ways.
7) MeetTheBoss TV:
This site gives you the opportunity for personal access to the world’s most innovative and influential business leaders. Although the rest of us probably won’t be able to get our questions for business leaders answered directly, there’s likely a video on MeetTheBoss TV that is relevant to your issue.
8 ) SCORE.org:
A resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration, SCORE gives free advice to entrepreneurs.
9) LinkedIn Answers:
What sets LinkedIn Answers apart from the others on this list is that people have a couple of strong motives to help you. First, people are always looking for ways to stay in touch with members of their professional networks. Answering your question is a perfect opportunity to refresh a connection. Second, people who give the best answers to questions are featured as “experts” on the Answers homepage and in each category of questions.
