- @Vicky Simmons Thank you for the tip. I didn't even realise that Hive do support bookstores like that. Thanks for the book recommendation!
- The Little Black Book by Otegha Uwagba https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Otegha-Uwagba/Little-Black-Book/21039149(side note: buy all your books off Hive as its free delivery and supports your local bookshop instead of Amazon)
- @Jonny Silcock This author I have not heard from before, thanks for the recommendation!
- @Rajib Moazzam Yeah I've check them out in the past, but no harm checking some of their content whilst I'm trying ot get as much infor as possible. Thank you for the recommendation, really appreciate seeing what other creative have found useful online.
- Any of Dave Trott's books would be my top recommendation.
- A great resource for freelancers is the Futur Academy on You Tube. They give some great advice as well as tuturials. They even have a whole series of videos, where they work with a freelancer to help improve and upscale her business. Definetly check them out.
- @Rae Boocock Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it!
- @Ksenia Soldatenkova Thanks will definitely add that to my list. Thanks for the recommendation!
- I found Otegha Uwagba's Little Black Book really useful!
- @Anna Negrini Thank you, will see if there is any major differencces although like you said, I'll probably see the newest one
- @Nylda H didn't know ;) not sure is anything has changed at all, in doubt probably read the newest one
- @Paul Atchison Thank you, will check it out seems like I might have come across this title before. Seems like it is worth the read then!
- @Michael Arnold It is an informative article that I will be taking notes from - thanks for the recommendation!
- @Anna Negrini There seems to be two versions of the book - is the one you linked (the older one) better of? Thank you for the recommendation.
