I just wanted to promote iStock a bit more as yesterday I managed 18 downloads making $25.00, a new record.

I have spent most of today putting together quotes which isnt the most interesting part of being freelance and something that I have learnt as I have gone along, freelanceUk has been a very useful resource regarding the business aspect of self employment and recommend you check it out if you are a freelance or considering the move.

Thanks for reading.
