Bigger Isn't Always Better: WhyDoWork.com Launches Niche Social Network for Home Based Workers

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- WhyDoWork.com has launched the first niche social network in Canada catering only to those who work, or are interested in working from home. With over half of small businesses in the world being home based, WhyDoWork's niche social network provides a tremendous opportunity for home based business owners to connect, share ideas, and make friends; an element that is quite often missing when not in a traditional workplace.

With an established user base of over 29,000 active members, the jump into social networking was a logical transition for the site. According to Managing Partner Matthew Rivard; "Part of the problem with finding legitimate ways to earn a living online is the anonymity the Internet provides. Our social network will allow our members to work together to oust scams, find what works, and grow their incomes both individually and as a community."

In 2004, the Canadian startup launched what is now one of the most popular online forums in the 'make money at home' space. Today WhyDoWork has reinvented itself, and set new industry standards with several social networking features that allow members to interact and share ideas. Features such as a 'Friend Finder' allow users to search common business opportunities, geographic locations, interests, and goals to interact with each other in a controlled and safe environment.

To those seeking an ethical and profitable means of earning or supplementing their wages, the Internet presents itself as the land of opportunity. With promises of get rich schemes and pyramid scams these income seekers soon discover the challenges of navigating through a cluttered and confusing sector. "When seeking advice, there is nothing more powerful than the opinion of a trusted friend. We provide our members with the tools needed to get the facts before they dive into any home based business, and build a reputation that other members can come to rely on" says Rivard.

Each and every member that joins WhyDoWork.com is given a personal page to share with the world their goals, businesses, and interests. Members also receive a blog which they can syndicate anywhere else on the web, and a feed of their site activity which is actively broadcasted to their friends and colleagues on the site. These new tools along with the Friend Finder will allow people to educate and connect themselves with the best opportunities that suit their personal needs.
