Real Words

The oDesk Blog has published a list of the top 100 blogs for freelancers. It’s an interesting list that’s somewhat unique from the other lists of this nature that I’ve seen. It includes selections for freelancers from multiple areas of the web.

I found it interesting that it was necessary to separate “freelance blogging” and “freelance writing” into two categories. Most articles will just lump them together even though they can be quite different. In fact, I tend to lump them together since I do both myself but I actually do think that the information most important to one group isn’t necessarily that which is most important to another group.

I was excited to discover several blogs here that I hadn’t known about before. The ones that interested me most were actually those that fell into the “freelance lifestyle” category. Whatever the differences between various types of freelancers, what we have in common is that we need to deal with the pros and cons of working from home in a productive way. I read Zen Habits regularly but there were many other blogs in this category that I didn’t know at all.

Good stuff. Happy reading!
