Linkswitch!
Collis Ta'eedTime for some linking goodness from around the web and we have an odd assortment of goodies today:
How to Put Your Business on Autopilot Whilst You Travel the World as a Web Worker - Lea Woodward’s been putting out some great articles over at Location Independent. Cyan and I are about to become location independent as we’re moving to Hong Kong to work from there for a few months, which I’m very excited about. Lea’s also recently launched a charitable project called the “Leave it Better” initiative which is pretty cool! - Anywired - Skellie’s new blog Anywired is off to a stellar start with over a thousand subscribers in just five days!. Along with Lea’s LocationIndependent blog, Anywired gives you the lowdown on taking your work overseas.
- FunctionFox’s Resource Pile - FunctionFox is a time tracking and project management app who have shrewdly compiled an awesome set of resources and articles which looks super useful.
- Remarkablogger - Michael Martine has recently put out a free ebook called How to Start a Business Blog which is a good read and at that price, very worth grabbing
- Design Police - Amusing stickers that you can download to paste around the place to show what a design nazi you are!
- How to Get Started and Successful as an Illustrator - Nate Williams shares some valuable knowledge on becoming a pro illustrator
- Put Things Off - A neat little blog that’s popped up on my radar, featuring some very cute illustrations
- 8 Great Digg Like Social Networks for Designers in 2008 - Dustin Brewer compiles an awesome list of Digg-like sites including my favourite DesignFloat
- How to Set Your Fees - A short article with a link to a longer article on setting fees for contractors - always a popular topic here on FreelanceSwitch.
- Jobacle - A great podcast about careers with a fair bit of stuff that applies to freelancers, not as good as our award winning one of course
but awesome nonetheless! - Essential Tools for the Freelancer - A neat roundup of some great resources, from an up and comer blog - sentences.org - worth checking out
So there you go, lotsa links to check out!

Thanks for the link lovin’ Collis. I appreciate being listed with all of those other wonderful sites. I especially like Skellie’s article on her new Anywired blog. However, I am impossibly jealous of her success with that new blog.

First time user. Very impressed with all the content on these sites. Makes me want to write a letter to my parents and thank them for birthing me.

Hey there Collis,
Thanks for the link love! It’s an honor to mentioned among the other blogs on the site, especially since Sentences is so new!
Appreciate the support! I’ll be sure to do what I can in return.

Wow. I really liked the Put Things Off blog
That’s sure to be a new fave.
As far as working around the world…I have a second “home” internationally (ok my family does) and we try to get out there as much as possible. Of course, the internet can be touchy, but my clients are none the wiser. You won’t have such troubles in Hong Kong!

Yes! Excellent and useful links. Thanks for putting them up. I shall digest accordingly and spit them out in a Duncan-shaped freelancing entity.
Or something.
