About a month and a half ago, I lost my job. Granted it was a career that I had spent 15 years in and hated, but never the less I was unprepared for it. Yes the debt piled up, but I knew that if I lassoed my other talents I would survive. One of those talents was the ability to see things from unique perspective's and then write them down in a clear way. By submitting freelance articles, I have started once again earning an income. I wont let anyone tell me the recession is hard, of course it is hard, you just find a way to not be affected by it. <abbr><em>Rev Jeff Lewiss last blog post..<a href="http://datagemreviews.com/a-review-of-wordpress-goldmine.html" rel="nofollow">A Review Of WordPress Goldmine</a></abbr></em> Bravo, thank you for this post.

I think part of the cause behind this is the fact that certain business models and job skills are becoming obsolete and we are having a tough time catching up. Using the internet to get freelance writing jobs from around the world is a great example. My way to not participate in the recession was to change my whole idea about publishing my novels. Rather than going the traditional route of trying to sell books, I instead opted for publishing my novel online for people to read for free. I make money instead by selling ad space.

This type of economy just means freelancers have to think a little more out of the box to ensure constant income, but if you're already a successful (read: working) freelance writer, you're already doing that. I'm just starting out in my freelancing career, partly as I'd like to eventually make the switch to doing it full-time, but also for the very reason that my full-time job could potentially be eliminated at any time. I want to be prepared. Well said my friend, well said!

By refusing to participate in the recession, you're helping the economy stay alive. Your business is helping other businesses earn money - that they can spend and help other people keep their jobs. Your money does the same as well. Someone's keeping you working, and you're keeping someone else working too. I think people need to realize that recession means they need to do what they can to boost business and increase it instead of battening down the hatches and hoarding everything they have just in case. Likewise, I'm not participating in any recession. The beauty? Anyone can build a new business or even a sideline business to help increase their income in tough times. <abbr><em>James Chartrand - Men with Penss last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MenWithPens/~3/470129339/drive-by-shooting-sundays-the-antisocial-social-worker" rel="nofollow">Drive-by-Shooting Sundays: The Antisocial Social Worker</a></abbr></em> Even better?
