As if I needed any more convincing….
In these heady early days of blog discovery some of the posts I have been reading are on freelanceswitch.com, a great resource for anyone self-employed. I particularly love their ‘Freelance Freedom’ cartoons. I just have this image of lots of smug freelancers reading them and chuckling to themselves contentedly. Nothing wrong with that of course.
Of the many useful blog posts, one a few days ago entitled five reasons why freelancers should blog was the tipping point for me in deciding whether to start my own. This article also explains why Wordpress is a good blogging platform for making your posts visible on search engines (nice little plug there).

Hi Philippa
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Freelance Freedom cartoons – I’d not seen them before and have now joined the ranks of smug AND chuckling freelancers
I was interested to read about your blog tipping point too. Mine was at a training session last February (http://nakedtranslator.blogspot.com/2007/02/sustainable-customer-relationships.html) where blogging was scarcely mentioned… but it firmed up things for me in other areas I’d been undecided about.
I’m really looking forward to following your adventures, best of luck with the blog!
