Fed up working for the man? Want to be your own boss? Want to turn up to work naked and drink wine all day?

Well, the last one aside those are genuine aspirations of many people working in today’s workplace. The trouble is becoming your own boss, setting up your own business and going it alone can be a daunting experience.

Luckily there are many websites out there that can offer you advice, help and other likeminded individuals willing to share their experiences and knowledge. Platinax Business Forum is one such place, a forum for entrepreneurs to share their ideas and experiences with each other.

The forum features sections such as business start up advice, legal advice, financing and of course everyone’s favourite online buzz term at the moment; search engine optimization (note that’s optimization with a ‘z’ not an ‘s’).

The website itself is a business portal for those wishing to make their dreams a reality and earn the kind of money they think they deserve, and the forum is full of helpful information on achieving this.

With just over 4,000 members the forum isn’t the biggest of its kind, but at least its relatively small size means your voice won’t get lost in the crowd.

If like me you love loads of pointless free stuff (and let’s face it, who the monkey in hell doesn’t?) you’ll be interested a site that gives away stuff with no catch.
Sounds like right old load of politician’s promises doesn’t it? Well the website is called whogets.com, and the system is simple. You register for an account, pick what free stuff you want and then add your name to the pool. Contestants, or blaggers of free stuff as like to call them, are then randomly selected to the ‘semi final’ draw, where you make a short statement about why you should win, and the rest is up to the public to vote.

Surely it can’t be this simple?

Well, it is. Of course the more friends or online communities you belong to the more likely you are to win, as by sending over your army of hoodlums to vote for you will surely help you bring home the proverbial bacon.

Prizes range from $10 to a more substantial $600 and include things such as video games and mobile phones.

I’m heading over there now for some cheapskate Christmas shopping, but as my shopping list consists solely of things for me I should do quite well out of it!
