Link of the Day: 101 Freelancing Resources

Attention freelancing moms: I came across a helpful list of 101 resources for freelancers on FreelanceSwitch, an online community and resources for freelancers in all kinds of businesses.

In the "101 Essential Freelancing Resources" you'll find online tools for tracking time worked, invoicing clients to get paid for that time worked, and managing and organizing projects. (Thanks, Lifehacker.)

The list goes on to include stock libraries to tap for web sites and blogs, business tools (Campfire, Wufoo), legal resources (MyNewCompany, Copyright), and online advertising tools. There are also job board sites for when you're looking for more assignments or for employees. There's a lot to digest, so bookmark it for when you need to search for tools and advice to plan a business or organize the one you're running now. I have.

Women-owned businesses account for two of every five companies in the United States, and the growth rate in the number of women-owned businesses was more than double all U.S. firms between 1997 and 2006. (Center for Women's Business Research; PDF report.) If you count yourself among that impressive mix, please share which tools you use to run your business, no matter how small.
