I hope it stays that way. Rob: Smart marketing is going to be very important, especially if we're in for the long haul as you predict. Aaron: Thanks for the link to your recent article on this topic, which in turn links to more useful material which I hadn't seen before. Good to see you're keeping positive and that your business is going well. David:

I'm relatively new to the world of freelancing so don't have a lot to compare things against, but as far as I'm concerned business is good and I'm maintaining a positive attitude. However, a lot of the pundits are making very similar noises to each other - ie, that this is only just the start and its going to be long and bad - perhaps the worst ever. Fingers crossed we'll come out the other end still with positive attitudes. :) Aaron Russell's last blog post ... <a href="http://www.aaronrussell.co.uk/blog/dont-drink-and-drive-advertisment/" rel="nofollow">Real men don’t drink and drive</a> Hi Tracey

I wrote about this topic recently too. I’m relatively new to the world of freelancing so don’t have a lot to compare things against, but as far as I’m concerned business is good and I’m maintaining a positive attitude.

Fingers crossed we’ll come out the other end still with positive attitudes. :)

Like David Airey above I've not been affected much which I find interesting. I remember the last downturn in 2001 (which wasn't even a proper recession) and I had a very hard time then. I'm hoping that I'll beat this recession with smart marketing on the local and international level. Time will tell. It looks as though it's going to be a long haul. But let's keep positive, hard work and determination will see us through! Hi Tracey,

I keep my Pound Sterling rates the same, so it's other currencies that may help or hinder clients. At present, those clients in the US are benefitting. £1 used to convert to $2. Now it's more like $1.50. As for the passive income idea, how I'd love a little more of that.
